Apple's iPhone X will be killed off this year, analyst says..... https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/20/apple-iphone-x-discontinued-this-year-analyst-says.html
I've seen these for a couple of months now. It's a bit of a case of attention-grabbing headlines. The bottom line is they don't think Apple will continue the practice of selling last year's models at a discount with the X the way they do it with others. It does not mean that the X won't have a successor this year.
I used to be an apple fan but I am so disappointed with their products nowadays that I switch to Samsung. I still love their MacBook though.
Retiring the X would mean Apple has to admit not doing something perfectly. That's not likely to happen. I think they'll do what they always do, make a few changes and call it the best iPhone ever.
