Apple has been hit with a slew of challenges over the past three months.
  • It's been a rough start to the year for Apple, with bad news this week adding to its problems.
  • It got hit by a nearly $2 billion fine from the EU and a reported decline in China iPhone sales.
  • Still, some analysts believe Apple could bounce back if it successfully shifts its focus toward AI.

Bad news keeps piling up for Apple.

On Monday, the European Commission slammed the iPhone maker with a nearly $2 billion fine after ruling that it restricted competition for music-streaming services such as Spotify.
