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.

Apple introduced the 10th anniversary iPhone called iPhone X on Tuesday and put emphasis on the device's new features like the edge-to-edge OLED display and its facial recognition technology. However, some analysts are not really sold on the inclusion of these hardware features, thinking that they would soon be considered outdated. On Wednesday, Korean analysts expressed to South Korean media outlet The Investor their honest thoughts on the new iPhone X. It appears the analysts are not really pleased with what Apple has created because they pointed out how edge-to-edge OLED and facial recognition are already getting outdated. Apple's biggest rival, Samsung, has been using OLED screens for its smartphones for the past six years.
