“The bottom line is that Apple is dominating high-end smartphones and associated Services. Our bullish view of X is driven by the fact it is the most innovative iPhone in years, and that the more limited innovation of iPhone 7 still led to 215mm phone sales. Services growth, while still driven by broader app sales, also has more drivers, including Music, iCloud, Search, Apple Pay and more. Finally the new disclosure that Wearables is the size of a Fortune 400 company, and that Apple Watch sales grew over 50% 3 qtrs in row, highlights another category that is adding to overall growth. We reiterating our Outperform and raising our PT to $188.”

Apple has not disclosed the iPhone X pre-order numbers, but its revenue forecast for Q1 2018 is set between $84-87 billion. That being said, the aforementioned figure will definitely be riding on the iPhone X sales momentum.

According to some reports, components supply for the bezel-less iPhone have stabilized meaning that there is not going to be a significant disparity between it and demand.
