Like many technology stocks, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is off to a rough start in 2025. AAPL stock is down 11.8% on concerns over slowing iPhone sales, particularly in China, and confusion bordering on concern over the company’s plans to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into its walled garden ecosystem.
In March, the company announced a shuffle in its executive ranks after it announced it would be delaying the highly anticipated personalized AI-driven features in Siri, its voice assistant for the iPhone. What’s being termed Siri-gate is adding fuel to broader concerns that there may be a pause in the AI revolution.
