Why Next Year's iPhone Will Be So Cool It Will Break Records

Apple iPhone upgrades in 2017 should have enough desirable new features that they will likely break all previous sales records, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote on Tuesday. Next year’s iteration of the iOS-based smartphone will have an all-new exterior design after three years of relative stagnation, Kuo said in a report. With a glass outer casing, wireless charging and—for some models—an OLED screen, the 2017 models will generate “potentially unprecedented replacement demand,” Kuo wrote.
