AAPL

Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, praised Apple Inc's Vision Pro on social media, despite Apple's recent stock decline.

This comes amid challenges for Apple, including a predicted further 5% drop in shares due to issues in China and a European Commission fine.
