Asia shares slip after Apple results hit Wall Street, dollar off highs

Asian shares edged down on Thursday after disappointing earnings from technology giant Apple dragged on Wall Street, while the dollar remained shy of this week's nearly nine-month highs. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite both skidded, though a standout performance by Boeing lifted the Dow Jones industrial average. Expectations for a year-end rate hike by the Federal Reserve remained intact, and bolstered the greenback.
