Apple has been another big winner following a rate cut, rising a median of 16.2% in the past. To be sure, not every technology stock is destined for upside in the face of a cutting cycle. The stock has fallen a median of nearly 14% in the three months following an initial cut. Other potential losers following a rate cut include Analog Devices , Teradyne and IBM .

Historically, Apple is up about 16% on a median basis three months after an initial cut from the Fed. Technology names tended to do well immediately after a Fed rate cut, with digital storage company Western Digital the top-performing stock, and semiconductor equipment company Lam Research the second-best performing one.

Mistake 1: Taking photos at the wrong timeJon Carmichael captured the moon during a lunar eclipse. The silver lining is you can get better detail because you're shooting through less atmosphere and the photos will be clearer. Taking photos closer to sunset gives you more lighting compared to later at night, which will make taking a cellphone picture easier. "If you're shooting in any kind of auto setting, then you're making the camera decide for you," Carmichael said.

☆ FDA clears Apple's sleep apnea detection feature for use. Here's how it works
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-16 | by ( Ashley Capoot | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes a person's breathing to repeatedly stop and start throughout the night. If it goes untreated, sleep apnea can cause fatigue and lead to more serious health issues like heart problems, hypertension and Type 2 diabetes. Apple's sleep apnea detection feature marks the company's latest attempt to position its wearables as a cheaper, simpler alternative to many existing health-care tests and devices. To get evaluated for sleep apnea, for instance, patients typically participate in an at-home test or an in-lab test where they're monitored overnight. The at-home sleep apnea test from Sleep Doctor costs $189, for example.
