LONDON : Apple shares sat out the rout in tech stocks on Friday, rising 0.3 per cent in Frankfurt after the company said its third-quarter iPhone sales were better than expected and forecast more gains.

Amazon shares were down almost 8 per cent in Frankfurt on Friday, while Intel stock was down 21 per cent.
