After several spurious reports of substantial preorder spikes for the iPhone 7 by the likes of T-Mobile – if not so much Verizon – AAPL stock enjoyed the biggest weekly surge in years. However, judging by the “lines of people” waiting for the new gadget as it officially goes on sale in retail outlets, said surge in the stock may have been premature, and merely the latest marketing gimmick that has made a “scarcity” factory into a sublime art form.
