After two straight quarters of annual sales declines, Apple is hoping the new iPhone models can return Apple to year-over-year growth.

But Wall Street analysts are skeptical, with a Deutsche Bank analyst calling the new products "not a game changer."

On Thursday morning, Apple advised that it would not be announcing the number of first-weekend presale orders for the newest iPhone. Apple had provided that data point for years.
