APPLE IPHONE 9: The iPhone X is a celebration of 10-years of iPhone. Apple has also confirmed that this phone lays the foundations for the next 10 years of the iPhone and we suspect that the 2018 iPhone update will take a lot from the iPhone X.There’s currently no knowing what Apple will call the new iPhone, but we hear it will move from stainless steel back to aluminum to bring the price down while retaining that 19:9 display and using Face ID. We expect Apple to offer a couple of sizes in this design.
