“UBS said in a note to investors on Tuesday that it’s reiterating its buy rating on Apple with a 12-month price target of $170,” Todd Haselton reports for CNBC. “The bank believes the upcoming [OLED] iPhone 8 has the potential for huge sales because of expected upgrades from phones sold in fiscal 2015.”

MacDailyNews Take: Vroom, vroom!
I don’t even need to read past the headline on this one!!! I can whole heartily confirm that my entire family is eagerly awaiting the release of the new iPhone(s). We are all still currently on the iPhone 6. We skipped the 7 to be ready contractwise (yes we still have contracts) for the iPhone 8(?) and/or iPhone 7s. It has been an excruciating extra year waiting to upgrade our phones. Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec can’t come soon enough. And I’m sure we’re not the only ones in this position.
agreed
You are definitely NOT the only one! I, too, can’t wait!
Waiting with a failing 5s and a tiny 4c. 🙂

I don’t see any ground in the picture, so it’s hard to tell what’s actually going on there.
