AAPL: Your iPhone 7 Purchases Are Boosting Apple Inc. Stock

Just because Apple (ticker: AAPL) isn't divulging first-weekend presale numbers for this latest iPhone iteration doesn't mean its wireless carriers will follow suit. And given early lukewarm buzz about the product, the latest data is actually good news for the tech giant.

Both Sprint Corp. ( S) and T-Mobile US ( TMUS) said that iPhone 7 presales were surpassing expectations, reports Business Insider. In T-Mobile's case, the iPhone 7 even created a new single-day sales record. You can start formally purchasing an iPhone 7 this Friday.

Professional gadget reviewers still consider the iPhone 7 the best phone available on the market, despite general lackluster media reviews, Business Insider reports.

AAPL stock was up about 2.5 percent on Tuesday, after underperforming the market throughout the year.

The iPhone 7's newest features include stereo speakers, an updated camera ("perhaps the most beloved feature") and being water and dust-resistant. Much of the social media backlash from Apple's recent event came from Apple doing away with its traditional headphone jack and its new wireless AirPod headphones.

Looks like Apple's atypical decision to not reveal first-weekend presale numbers might not necessarily matter too much, even if it reportedly left certain investors worried.
