Answer to question:
Imapct of financial market on apple . And stock Market index.
Global markets for the Company's products and services are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change, and the Company may be unable to compete effectively in these markets.
This is pretty obvious. Personal computers, smartphones, and tablets are all massively competitive markets and, though Apple has significant market share now, it's always possible that an upstart competitor could come along and knock Apple off its perch. After all, in 2004, Nokia looked unstoppable.
There can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to provide products and services that compete effectively.
The Company depends on the performance of distributors, carriers, and other resellers.
Apple might have close to 500 of its own retail stores, but it has hundreds of thousands of retail outlets selling and supporting iPhones, iPads, and Macs around the world. Apple also relies on cellular carrier partners to sell and subsidize its phones. A wholesale shift in worldwide carrier policies (like, say, data plans) could have a huge impact on Apple's business. Apple also notes that the growth of its own retail store efforts could discourage third-parties from growing their sales channels.
"The financial condition of these resellers could weaken, these resellers could stop distributing the Company's products, or uncertainty regarding demand for the Company's products could cause resellers to reduce their ordering and marketing of the Company's products."
The Company faces substantial inventory and other asset risk in addition to purchase commitment cancellation risk.
