Whether Apple stock is a buy on the one-year anniversary of the Apple Watch launch has not been made easier to answer by a lot of speculative news stories.
Many analysts and pundits have declared the Apple Watch a "flop" because they're guessing that the newest Apple device has failed to meet expectations.

Until then, here's what you can expect from AAPL stock...
Pummeled by yet another negative report about iPhone sales, the Apple stock price has shed nearly 4% in the past two days.
The latest bad news came from Japanese daily Nikkei, which reported late yesterday (Tuesday) that iPhone production in Chinese factories would be cut by 30% in the first quarter of 2016 to compensate for slack demand.
