"Apple Inc reported quarterly revenue that slightly missed Wall Street expectations as sales of its flagship iPhone came in below target, sending its shares down more than 4 percent. The world's largest technology company shipped 47.8 million iPhones, lower than the roughly 50 million that Wall Street analysts had predicted. Sales of the iPad came in at 22.9 million in the fiscal first quarter, about in line with forecasts." I'll leave the financials to the experts, but one thing that stood out to me: Apple sold 4.2 million Macs, almost a million below expectations. How much of a future does desktop computing have at Apple? Update: The NYT/Reuters changed the title during the night. Fixed it.

Again, you don't seem to know how this game works. Stock prices reflect the expectation of returns by investors - not the company's actual performance.
Apple is doing fantastically. Apple's stock, however, is taking a bit of a hit because investors think they can make more money elsewhere. That's it. It'll bounce back up.

Which reads differently than the misleading phrase.."iPhone sales disappoint."
