Sales could have been higher if many customers hadn’t been waiting for the iPhone X, which comes out Friday. Nonetheless, the just-ended quarter largely became an afterthought once Apple decided to release the iPhone X six weeks after the iPhone 8. “The Super Bowl for Apple is the iPhone X,” GBH analyst Daniel Ives said. Making the iPhone X is proving to be a challenge because it boasts a colour-popping OLED screen, which isn’t as readily available as standard LCD displays in other iPhone models. He added that the company is increasing its iPhone X production capacity every week.
