Last night's 'Apple Event' - which unveiled the new flagship iPhone 6S range - has failed to excite investors.
The stock's hangover continues as it climbs down from the record valuations recorded earlier in this year - it ended trading yesterday down 1.9%.
That is the biggest post-event drop since the launch of the iPhone 5C and 5S two years ago, it triggered a 2.3% fall.
Apple shares were down by 6.2% over the 30 days leading up to the launch.
Yesterday's announcements refined some of Apple's current offerings, but offered no real surprises.
