At the time, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) had massive inventories that were a burden on the cash strapped company, and Mr. Cook's changes made Apple into a leaner and more efficient company. > But now, given the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from the Chinese city of Wuhan, concerns related to Apple's operations in China have started to make rounds in the press and in the industry. Apple's stock dropped by $11 on Friday as fears of the coronavirus were reflected in the broader market.
