Apple's share price fell more than seven per cent immediately after the company announced disappointing results for its second quarter last Tuesday. 

Its revenue miss was worse than expected, coming in at $50.6bn (£34.6bn), below analyst expectations of $52bn. Earnings per share for the second quarter were also lower, reported at $1.90, against analysts' expectations of $2.00, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.
