Wall Street’s momentum faltered in the latter half of this week, with the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq-100 both posting their third straight daily loss on Thursday.

Apple’s 2025 Resurgence: iPhone 17 Supercycle Sparks AAPL Stock Surge to Record Highs

Apple’s stock performance in 2025 has been a tale of two halves. The year began on uncertain footing for the world’s most valuable company. Through the first half, AAPL lagged its Big Tech peers, with its share price sliding amid concerns about flagging iPhone demand and a lack of AI catalysts. By late July, Apple stock was down 17% year-to-date investopedia.com – a sharp contrast to the broader NASDAQ’s rally and the eye-popping gains of AI-centric names like NVIDIA. In fact, Apple was the laggard of 2025’s “Magnificent Seven” tech giants, according to Wedbush’s Dan Ives tipranks.com. Investors fretted that Apple’s growth had stalled after a few years of only modest hardware upgrades and slowing revenue. Wall Street was also waiting for Apple’s response to the AI frenzy that lifted other tech stocks – a narrative Apple had yet to fully capitalize on.

Nasdaq’s Wild 48 Hours: Fed Jitters, Tech Tumbles & Surprise Rallies – Sept 23–24 Roundup

Wall Street’s bull run hit turbulence on Tuesday, Sept. 23, after Fed Chair Jerome Powell struck a balanced but cautious tone in his remarks. Speaking six days after the Fed’s first rate cut of 2025, Powell emphasized the “no risk-free path”forward – the central bank must tame inflation without unduly harming the now-weakening job market. Notably, he warned that equity valuations appeared “fairly highly valued,” a signal that the recent surge in stocks may have outpaced fundamentals. This lack of a clear green light on further rate relief rattled investors who had been banking on more easy money. Powell “left the door open for another rate cut” but gave “really no hint of when and how much” it might be, explained Peter Cardillo of Spartan Capital. That ambiguity “began to sell off” the overheated market, which was “ripe for some sort of a pullback,” Cardillo noted.

OnePlus 15 Leak Bombshell: Radical Design, Monster Battery & Next-Gen Power

The OnePlus 15 is generating buzz for its radical design departure from previous models. Leaked images circulating on Chinese social media show a completely new camera layout: a square-edged camera module on the back with rounded corners, instead of the round camera hump OnePlus has used for the last few generations indiatoday.in phonearena.com. Within this module, there’s a pill-shaped cutout vertically housing two large camera lenses, and next to it are two smaller circular cut-outs – believed to be the third camera lens and the LED flash indiatoday.in. In essence, the OnePlus 15’s camera island layout is unlike the OnePlus 13’s circular tri-lens design; in fact, it more closely resembles the style of Google’s Pixel or Apple’s latest iPhones than OnePlus’s own past flagships androidcentral.com. As one tech editor put it, the new placement “messes with [the] OnePlus’ unique look, making it look a lot like a Pixel or even the iPhone 16 Pro” androidcentral.com.
