This might be the reason Apple stock is falling today.
Really falling.

Now you know the real reason for these gloom and doom articles. If they were true people would dump Apple and get a Droid, fact is they are not.
The life cycle of a phone is two years why would you expect to run the latest and greatest software on outdated hardware? I have a 1st generation iPad that still works like it always did, probably because it can not be upgraded to the latest iOS 8.
It has nothing to do with Apple in particular. ALL stocks are falling today. NYSE was down 330 or so, NASDAC was down around 80. ObambiCare is hitting every major business starting today and OIL dropped below $50. . . and both of those are going to have a major effect.
