Technical? No. Some knucklehead wrote it and either another knucklehead failed to actually check the live data or another knucklehead left a setting set wrong. The only thing technical about it was that one or more of these knuckleheads were using a computer to transit their very human screw up.
The fact that is a single person might have believed this, and that the stock actually rose on the "news", indicates the insanely high level of stupidity in the investment industry.
Oh, and it's hilarious how a 0.3% fluctuation can be seen as a "leap" and "crash".

Actually, it's only this AI article that is overblown. The fact that AAPL was training in a very narrow band today suggests that absolutely nobody reacted to this clearly fabricated news. When some random analyst suggests that iPhone X shipments might be higher or lower, AAPL raises or drops by a couple of bucks. There are no leap or crash today.
This ‘fake news’ made an spike in Apple's share price. Why do we must call a ‘technical error’ and not a maneuver to make quick money?
In other words, why ‘others’ fake news are ‘fake news’ and this is ‘an error’? What would the Russia-Facebook election event be called if was a Russia-DowJones event?
Also, Apple Insider forums now have the SAME BUG on iOS that the MacRumors forums have. Move the cursor with the arrow keys, page scrolls to the bottom. WHY DOES NO ONE EVER TEST THINGS BEFORE RELEASE?
This is really pretty funny. Like Google remotely has the money to buy Apple. Neither company would ever buy the other even if they could. That would open up a whole can of worms.

The SEC should investigate internal trading.
Surely if you were trying to make quick money off this, you'd make a more believable statement, e.g. Apple about to buy small Company X worth Y for $2Y, then dump the stock you bought the day before in Company X when it spikes.
