Apple’s Stock Leads Dow Gainers After Analyst Boosts Price Target

The iOS 11 home screen concept, created by a graphic designer and printed on top of a display protector, definitely improved the entire preview experience, making the iPhone 8 dummy look like it was a real iPhone that was turned on.

It appears the waterfall of Apple leaks from the last few weeks isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.

Cihra predicted that if the iPhone 8 release date is set back, the “short lived” delay will not impact stock. Press the button and the TouchID will scan the fingerprint that is put on the button.

Apple stock today rose by 52 cents, or 0.4%, to close at $149.56. But production of the new model is not expected to begin until November or even December. Earlier this year, noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi-Kuo did predict that Apple will be looking to make an iPhone with the highest screen-to-body ratio that has ever been seen on a smartphone and it seems that he was right.

The iPhone 8 was said to feature a 5.8-inch OLED display, with primary area of 5.15 inches, while the rest of the space will have virtual buttons, according to Kuo. The leaked renders also go on to confirm that the iPhone 8 will not come packed with USB Type-C and the 3.5mm headphone jack options.

The analyst also noted the iPhone 8’s high price will boost Apple’s average selling price. Already, there are a lot of features rumored to be aboard the iPhone 8, including a new feature which would let users unlock their devices using facial recognition technology.

Other iPhone 8 secrets include battery capacity, camera specifications, A11 chipset performance, and pricing.

As far as the legacy and trend of Apple’s announcement criteria is concerned throughout the years, September has remained a favourite for the California-based tech-giant. According to a report by Forbes, it will be the “biggest ever iPhone redesign”.

Additionally, if Apple is seemingly having this much trouble bringing these products into mass production, then that could be an indication that the devices feature relatively aggressive hardware designs.
