Apple slides 3%, briefly dips below $500

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Shares of Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) were down more than 3% shortly after the opening bell, briefly falling below $500. The stock hasn't closed below that level since February 2012.

The sell-off followed reports that Apple had cut orders for certain iPhone 5 components because of weakening demand for the latest version of the popular smartphone .

Apple was unavailable for immediate comment.

Apple's stock has been trending lower since September, when euphoria over the iPhone 5 debut pushed shares to an all-time high close of $702.10.

In October, Apple reported mixed results for its fiscal fourth quarter, saying it sold just shy of 27 million iPhones, up 58% from a year earlier. At the time, Apple was having trouble keeping up with demand for the iPhone 5.

The company recently shot down rumors that it was developing a cheaper version of the iPhone.

Apple will release its fiscal first-quarter results on Jan. 23. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expect earnings to decline 4% from the prior year, although estimates vary widely. Apple has not reported a drop in quarterly earnings in nine years.
