0:00.0	All right, guys, thanks so much. Welcome to closing bell. I'm Scott Wobner live from Post 9 here at the New York Stock Exchange. This maker break hour begins with what might be a make or break moment for Apple shares.
0:10.9	Earnings a little more than an hour away now as questions about the iPhone and AI continue to swirl. The stock up nicely this week into the print, even as it's been hit with more downgrades.
0:22.1	We will ask two shareholders coming up what they need to see tonight.
0:26.0	In the meantime, let's show you the scorecard here with 60 to go in regulation, mostly green,

1:36.3	We know they're going to make billions of dollars. We know services will be strong. But to me, it's like, what are we need to get excitement around the stock? And ultimately,
