- Shanthi Rexaline's article title is misleading, as it implies that Apple stock is nearly holding up despite the sell-off in the Magnificent 7 (the seven largest tech companies by market cap) in the premarket. However, the article clearly states that Apple's stock is falling modestly in the premarket.
- Shanthi Rexaline's article starts with a photo of a crowd in San Francisco, which is unrelated to the topic of Apple's stock performance.
- Shanthi Rexaline's article mentions that Apple's Q3 earnings and revenue beat expectations and showed growth compared to the previous year, but does not provide any details or numbers to support this claim.

- Shanthi Rexaline's article quotes Gene Munster, a venture capitalist and not an analyst, who makes vague statements about Apple's "active installed base" and an "AI-driven super cycle" without providing any evidence or analysis to support his claims.
- Shanthi Rexaline's article compares Apple's premarket performance to the performances of its Magnificent 7 peers, but does not explain why these comparisons are relevant or meaningful for Apple's stock outlook.
