Price Check, Key Headlines, and What to Watch Before the Christmas Eve Open
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) finished Tuesday’s regular session modestly higher and then barely moved in early after-hours trading, as investors weighed a new set of App Store and privacy headlines, fresh signals on iPhone 17 demand, and the bigger 2026 narrative around Apple’s AI roadmap.
As of shortly after the closing bell, Apple shares were essentially flat in extended trading—an unsurprising pause in a holiday-thinned week where even major headlines can take longer to translate into decisive price action.
