Tech giant Apple’s (AAPL) future looks steady as it focuses on high-margin services such as Apple Music, Pay, and TV+, which now make up nearly 30% of revenue. The company is coming up with a major iPhone redesign and deeper AI integration to reignite consumer interest at its upcoming launch event on September 9. Thus, this may be the right time for investors to consider AAPL stock, especially through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that offer diversified exposure without the risk of holding the stock directly.
