Apple Might Discontinue the iPhone X This Summer (bgr.com)

BGR shares a startling prediction from Ming-Chi Kuo, the Apple analyst at KGI securities: Kuo -- who we should note has an exemplary track record with respect to iPhone rumors -- adds that Apple may opt to discontinue the current iPhone X entirely if sales are underwhelming. "KGI also expects a trio of iPhone models in the fall of 2018," AppleInsider notes. "He predicts the iPhone X will be 'end of life' in the summer of 2018, instead of being retained as a lower-cost option in the following year." If Kuo's projection pans out, this would represent a marked shift in Apple's iPhone sales strategy. Going back nearly a decade, Apple has always positioned older iPhone models around as a wallet-friendly alternative for users who weren't keen on paying a premium for Apple's latest and greatest.

    You're a credulous person. You bought into rumors and lies and pretend to have knowledge you don't.

    Actually you're the perfect internet person. Congrats. Easy to fool.

    why do people always post "cite your evidence.. i 'll wait" but cant seem to bother using GOOGLE??

    Here is a 10 year old boy unlocking his moms phone https://www.wired.com/story/10...

    here is a mask unlocking a phone https://www.macrumors.com/2017...

    here is the face ID not working for apples own demo https://www.theverge.com/circu...

    try using google..

    And none of your examples demonstrate the AC's specific claim that a photograph can unlock Face ID. So please, by all means, go back to Google and find evidence of that. Once again, I'll wait.
