Apple Working On 6.5-inch iPhone X

Just two weeks after the iPhone X launch, rumours are already flooding the internet of Apple's plans for 2018. According to KGI securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will look to roll out three iPhone X style phones next year - all of which will not have a home button.

Just a week after its launch, iPhone X users are already experiencing a major issue with the new OLED display.

As first revealed on a Reddit forum, the touchscreen displays on the new iPhone X are unresponsive in cold weather. Users say only about 20% of touches are recognised, particularly when someone goes from inside to outside.

In today’s earnings letter to Snap investors, CEO Evan Spiegel revealed that Snapchat is working on a significant overhaul of its app. “One thing we have heard over the years is that Snapchat is difficult to understand or hard to use, and our team has been working on responding to this feedback.”

According to The Wall Street Journal, Samsung stands to make around $110 from each phone sold, which could result in billions more than the company even made on its own most-recent flagship, the Galaxy S8.

To be clear, all that money will go to Samsung Group, the conglomerate, as opposed to specifically the mobile division of the company.

Apple shares are currently trading for around $175, giving the iPhone maker a market cap of roughly $900 billion. The valuation puts Apple within $100 billion of becoming the world's only trillion dollar company.

Apple shares will have to rise to around the $195 mark for the company to reach a trillion dollar valuation, depending on the rate of its share buybacks, and an increasing number of Wall Street analysts think that will happen.
