Apple's iPhone X Delay Means High Demand Won't Happen Until 2018 [Report]

Wall Street analysts say the iPhone X will push a large number of consumers to upgrade their devices, but KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the "super cycle" will happen until 2018, according to an investor's note obtained by MacRumors. Apple will release the iPhone X in November, but Kuo says "the real super cycle" won't occur until next year. A supercycle is described as a high demand in upgrading to a new phone. Wall Street analysts believe many people who bought the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus three years ago will want to get a brand new device this year. Apple has been reportedly struggling with the iPhone X's main feature, the Face ID.
