While I don't know the specifics, product releases tend to have a whole lot less to do with stock movement than the details of financial performance. And during much of the last couple of decades it has been pretty hard for investments in Apple not to pay off.

Product release from a ragged-arse of a company that had no prior dealings with Apple nor any public information about a coming product with Apple? Insider trading. It's a fine line that most can easily convince themselves to cross.
