That is one of the most egregious abuses of statistics I've ever seen on HN. Pretty funny. Stock price correlates with a whole raft of macroeconomic factors e.g. economy, taxation not just the specific performance of Apple. And even ignoring that Apple's performance as a stock is dependent on their overall revenue and profit mix for which they are extremely diversified. It's not just about iPhones.

What we do know is that iPhones are important to Apple and if they genuinely thought that there was a significant market for tiny phones then they would release one. They still sell the iPad mini and the smaller Apple Watch for example so it's not just they they are afraid of small things.
