Apple (AAPL) stock hit a record high on September 22, Eastern Time, just 10 days after Apple's fall launch event. However, how far this rally can go depends not on the product event, but on the actual demand for the iPhone 18 Pro series. JPMorgan's latest research report provided the first positive signal: the global average delivery wait time for the iPhone 18 Pro extended from 7 days in the first week to 23 days in the second week, with order momentum surpassing that of the iPhone 17 series over the same period last year.
