Apple shares traded near $340 on October 12 amid reports of 15% cuts to iPhone 18 Pro component orders, offset by analyst views that the adjustments reflect a shifted launch cadence rather than softening demand. JPMorgan raised its price target to $360 while trimming near-term volume estimates, citing higher average selling prices that could support margins, and BofA reiterated a Buy rating with a $370 objective. Recent Q3 results showed 16% revenue growth and record services revenue, with Apple gaining smartphone market share to 22% despite industry weakness and elevated memory costs. The closely matched probabilities around the $335–$345 range reflect trader focus on the October 13 smart-home announcements and positioning ahead of the November 2 earnings release, where iPhone sell-through and holiday-quarter guidance will provide clearer signals.
