At the WWDC 2026, Apple introduced new features including a MacOS named 'Golden Gate' and AI upgrades for its web browser Safari. However, the company's stock fell nearly 2% due to investor disappointment over the lack of a specific launch date for the revamped Siri AI, which is now expected to be available in beta later this year. Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, highlighted that investors anticipated a September launch, but Apple only confirmed a later release without a definitive timeline. This uncertainty has led to skepticism, especially as competitors have already launched their AI products. Despite the dip, Apple’s stock has seen a year-to-date increase of 10.6%. Retail sentiment regarding the stock has shifted to 'neutral', with a significant increase in discussions on Stocktwits, reflecting heightened interest despite concerns about the AI developments.
