Sure, it could be front-running the inevitable post-product-launch "it's great but not that great" sell-off... but one wonders if more is at play here...

How many iToys do these jobless hipster faggots need?
for what its worth i am in the cell phone accessories business on amazon and ebay...we sell a lot of stuff on a few different names. with big phones, i will usually get potential customers asking about cases, chargers etc
for the iphone 6 i have gotten NOTHING yet and we are 5 days before launch. i get more questions on blackberry stuff. its all samsung all the time these days
iSwan is now available in black
Or it could just be overpriced relative to it's future earnings potential.
But that would mean fundamentals matter.
And we know that they don't.
The patent drawings of the iTime watch look terrible. Square screen with nothing special. LG and Motorola have killer smart watches that blow away Apple's attempt.
The iPhone 6 has a bigger screen, perhaps an upgraded camera, maybe a sapphire coating, nothing better than the competition. I doubt Apple went with a 4k screen, not that it is necessary but they have to best the LG G3 to have the best smartphone available. HTC has a better flagship as well.
My three year old Sony Experia TL is a better phone specs wise than the iPhone 5c and I paid $.01 for it. The Z1 compact blows away the 5s and the new Experia Z3 line is solid across the range. Samsung killed it with their new note offerings.
Apple's supposed ace in the hole is going to be a proprietary payment system linked through the iTime. They will try to strongarm retailers into accepting a new POS terminal that will only accept Apple devices for mobile payments. Just like the lightning connector Apple will try to lock out every other device and try to force market share as the reason it should be accepted. Retailers are not going to turn down the Android market, it would be a terrible business decision.
I've been saying for a long time that Apple is far past its peak and I'm not wrong. You can only count shipped numbers as sold for so long. Had it not been for the stock split and share buybacks, Apple may have been testing $200 on the way down.
Anyone have a Blackphone?

An article appeared on MarketWatch in the middle 0f 2012.that was titled "Ten Things Apple Won't Tell You" It was penned by Quentin Fottrell who writes for SmartMoney.com. I thought it had a lot of merit. You can chase the article down or see the bulk of it below and that will give you the general idea of its message.

Main reason is that Apple has become a puppet of National Stasi Agency N-S-A similar to all other American ones.
Dont buy American products, these are all over priced, trash.
Save your money for a better future.
