Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the 10 AI Stocks In The Spotlight For Investors. On September 10, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reiterated an Outperform rating on the stock with a $270.00 price target.

We estimate roughly 315 million iPhone users of 1.5 billion users worldwide have not upgraded their phones in over 4 years speaking to an upgrade opportunity on the horizon for Cupertino with China front and center.
