Ok so let me get this straight. Banks sell Apple shares. Analysts (who all work for said banks) spread rumours which sends Apple share price down. Banks then buys back Apple shares at lower price, watch as the rumours are proved wrong and the share price goes back up. Banks sell at the higher price making nice profit. Is that how it works?
No doubt these rumors originates from nokia.com, samsung.com, dell.com etc...
This could be possible if you are thinking that FUD would lead consumers to consider their products over "questionable future" Apple products.
However this makes no sense if you are in with the stock manipulation crowd--these companies don't give a rat's (petootie) about Apple's stock prices and even less about its short term fluctuations...
I'm also still using my original 1st gen iPhone. It still works just as well as it ever did. The one problem area that it has is still just as broken with the 3.x code base as it was with the 1.x.

Short selling: A strategy in which a speculator sells a commodity or security that he or she does not own in order to profit from a falling market. The speculator will borrow the commodity or security from a third party and then immediately sell on to the buyer. At a later date, the speculator must make good on the loan by buying back the commodity or security from the market to close the position. If the value of the commodity or security has fallen during this period the speculator?s profit will be the difference between his original sale price and the buyback price (minus interest charges and fees). However, if the market moves against the speculator there is the potential for limitless losses.
Just to clarify how profit can be made from rumours negatively affecting stock price. FWIW I don't believe this type of rumour had this intention. I think the analysts just got it wrong, something they do quite a lot.
Phew! For a second there, I was beginning to be a bit worried.
Don't relax too much. The response was only that it is not delayed. It could still be released later than people think and still be on Apple's schedule. I don't personally think it will be later than people think, but since it is unannounced, we have no idea when Apple was planning on releasing it. So, it is possible that they could show up in June and September and not have been delayed.
I think this is probably the best reason I've heard yet for apple using their cash to buy back shares.
Yes, that's what we need. Apple becoming a day trader. Brilliant. Wouldn't it be nicer if Apple sent you the money, and then you could use it to buy Apple stock, or a TV, or milk? It's your money, after all.
Is there a chance the "iphone 5" will be called the iphone 4G instead? It sounds more practical.
Zero. It won't have LTE, which isn't even 4G, so no, it won't be called that.

What's broken about it?
I just installed 4.2 on my Day One iPhone, and it runs just as well as 3.1.3 did. Try it out.

I'm still using my first gen iPhone as well. Plan to upgrade this summer.
You will have to figure out a way to reconcile the enormous cost of your suggestion with the "small government" and anti-regulation sentiment of the government, as currently constituted.
no - the people making the press releases would have to pay the costs associated with data collection.

Please investigate Vincent Chen and Alison Chen with Taiwan-based research firm Yuanta Securities Co.
Please investigate analyst Craig Berger with FBR Capital Market.
I suspect both parties to be involved in stock price manipulation.
