Apple is facing significant headwinds in its supply chain, with rising costs for key components expected to weigh heavily on gross margins through the end of the fiscal year. The projected drop to 34.1% in Q4 represents a notable departure from recent performance levels. While the long-term outlook remains supported by AI integration and services growth, the immediate focus for traders will be the impact of these costs on the upcoming quarterly results and the company's ability to maintain pricing power.
