Apple’s fundamentals put them in a different class, however, as the technical setup for Apple stock is just as strong, and this rally is still young, Sam Quirke writes for for MarketBeat on Thursday. Sam Quirke for MarketBeat: Apple… has been at the forefront of the tech-dominated rally that has helped the benchmark S&P 500 index gain 15% this year. Apple’s shares are not only up more than 50% themselves, but they’re also printing fresh all-time highs on a daily basis right now. But with the stock’s RSI showing a score of 70, indicating overbought conditions, could Apple be the next big name to receive a cooling down order? Rest assured,…

Macworld Amazon’s Prime Day sale will surely bring big savings on the latest Apple Watches, but none will be as good as this: Amazon is selling a 45mm Apple Watch Series 7 in graphite with cellular for $429, a near-50 percent savings of $320, and the best price we’ve ever seen on a non-refurbished model. The Apple Watch Series 7 is a year old but isn’t drastically different than the Series 8. It was the same always-on display, EKG and blood-oxygen, 18-hour battery life, and watchOS 10 compatibility this fall. The main features it’s missing are a temperature sensor for cycle tracking and Crash Detection. In our 4.5-star review, we called the Apple Watch Series 7 “the best smartwatch around”…

Apple is the Online Safety Bill as it could be used to force encrypted messaging tools like iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal and other to scan messages for, ostensibly, child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Apple’s opposition comes as 80 organizations and tech experts have written to UK Technology Minister Chloe Smith urging a rethink. Chris Vallance for The Beeb: Apple told the BBC the bill should be amended to protect encryption.
