Apple TV+ Could Still Reach 100 Million Subscribers
Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) foray into subscription video has been relatively quiet since it launched Apple TV+ in November. Despite offering a free year of service to anyone that buys a new Apple device and pricing the service at just $4.99 per month for everyone else, the tech titan hasn't grabbed the attention of most consumers. Various media reports put Apple TV+ viewers somewhere between 10 million and 33 million.

Dow Jones Rockets 800 Points on Blockbuster Jobs Report. Boeing Stock Soars, Apple Price Target Raised
On Friday, the U.S. Labor Department reported an increase in nonfarm payrolls of 2.5 million for the month of May, nowhere close to the decline of 8 million jobs that economists were expecting. The unemployment rate was also far better than expected, coming in at 13.3% in May. That's down from 14.7% in April, and well below forecasts calling for an unemployment rate of nearly 20%. The surprise gain in jobs sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) flying on Friday.

The Smartphone Market Is Expected to Tank 12% This Year Thanks to COVID-19
The smartphone market is among many industries getting crushed by the coronavirus outbreak, registering its biggest decline ever in the first quarter after the pandemic simultaneously gutted supply chains and destroyed demand, with consumers fearing a potential recession on the horizon. As the world continues to grapple with the disease, smartphone shipments are expected to remain under pressure for the rest of the year, according to recent estimates from market researcher IDC. Smartphone volumes in the first half of 2020 are expected to fall by 18% as the coronavirus crisis continues to hurt discretionary spending.

Apple's 5G iPhone Delay Could Be a Blessing in Disguise
Store closures and supply chain disruptions on account of the COVID-19 pandemic have sent the global smartphone market into a tailspin this year. Worldwide smartphone shipments were down 11.7% year over year in the first quarter of 2020 to 275.8 million units, according to IDC, as key markets such as China, the U.S., and Western Europe came into the grip of the disease. The industry should have been ideally taking advantage of the shift to 5G smartphones in 2020, but that might not be the case anymore as the economic fallout of the novel coronavirus pandemic could delay upgrades and hurt demand.

Apple iPhone delay looms
Global smartphone unit sales slumped by 20 per cent in the first quarter, according to a Gartner report this week, but Apple fared much better than Samsung and Huawei, with just an 8 per cent fall. The iPhone maker may not get off so lightly come the end of the year though. Lockdowns, economic uncertainty and supply chain problems all contributed to the industry’s problems in the first three months, but “Apple’s ability to serve clients via its online stores and its production returning to near normal levels at the end of March helped,” said Gartner.

Apple must face U.S. shareholder lawsuit over CEO's iPhone, China comments
While dismissing most claims, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled late Tuesday that shareholders can sue over Chief Executive Tim Cook's comments touting strong iPhone demand on a Nov. 1, 2018 analyst call, only a few days before Apple told its largest manufacturers to curb production. "Absent some natural disaster or other intervening reason, it is simply implausible that Cook would not have known that iPhone demand in China was falling mere days before cutting production lines," Rogers wrote.
