According to a report from Bloomberg published yesterday, Apple (AAPL - Free Report) is set to unveil three new iPhones during an annual event in early September. These devices will all reportedly work from the iPhone X framework, with some within the company describing the launch as an “S year,” according to Bloomberg.
The report also indicated the sizes of these phones, with one apparently keeping the 5.8 inch display of the X and another offering a 6.5 inch display, which would be the largest ever screen on an iPhone. Bloomberg also said that Apple would reveal a more affordable model with a 6.1-inch display.
While excitement over the reveal will likely be muted in comparison to the massive step forward that was the iPhone X, these rumored smartphones are a logical progression for Apple as it continues to grow and groom its device and services ecosystem.
Apple is no longer interested in attracting brand new customers; instead, it wants to guarantee iPhone-for-life users by delivering a consistent slew of phones, all while developing accessory-like products and services—like the Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple Music—which use the iPhone as their foundation.
The Cupertino, California-based technology pioneer has also gradually raised the average selling price for its flagship line of smartphones, meaning that it makes more money per unit and can cash in on loyal fans who frequently upgrade.
As Ryan explains on today’s episode, this makes sense considering where Apple is as a company right now. The consumer electronics king just touched the historic $1 trillion market cap threshold, and its iPhone sales have been stuck in the 0% to 5% growth band for years. This type of plateau demands a new perspective.
So what you should investors know about the new iPhones? Which other business segments have been key catalysts for Apple recently? Check out the show to hear Ryan’s answers to these questions, and many more!

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
