BofA flags competitive risk to Apple from Meta's Muse, warning of potential services-revenue loss; AAPL -2.1%, META +2.1%
What happened
BofA Securities said Apple faces competitive risks — and potential loss of service revenue — because of Meta's Muse, Meta's enterprise AI assistant. Apple fell 2.1% on Tuesday while Meta rose 2.1%, making the pair one of the day's clearest cross-currents: a Mag 7 winner (Apple, +20%+ YTD) pressured by a competitive AI threat, and a Mag 7 laggard (Meta) getting credit for its enterprise AI push.
