Apple's shares fell 2.8 percent in premarket trading following a 3.6 percent decline on Wednesday in New York. Meanwhile, China Mobile (0941) said it will continue partnering with Apple to sell the upcoming iPhone 15 series on contract, denying a rumor the state-run telecom giant will no longer offer the latest iPhones. Despite the ban, some mainland handset dealers have reportedly started recruiting commissioners to flip the first few batches of the iPhone 15 series for quick profits. They expect to gain from HK$300 to over HK$1,000 from selling an iPhone 15 Pro and HK$800 to over HK$3,200 for an iPhone 15 Pro Max. SMIC's shares dropped by 7.6 percent yesterday.
