iPhone 8 Vs. Galaxy S8: Apple And Samsung Fight For Smartphone Dominance
2017 is shaping up to be the biggest year for smartphone consumers in years with both Apple and Samsung leading the way. Both companies have a lot to prove, and from the looks of things, they are working overtime to create groundbreaking phones.
According to CNN, Apple shares are soaring from the new iPhone hype.
“Shares of the iPhone maker surged 6% on Wednesday to their highest level since July 2015. Apple (AAPL, Tech30) is now up an impressive 11% so far this year, blowing past the rest of the stock market.”
The article adds that not only did Apple post its first sales increase in a year, but Tim Cook sent positive signals about demand heading into the release of the iPhone 8, which has excited investors, due later this year.
One of the biggest features of the new iPhone 8 could be inductive wireless charging.
“Over the course of the last year, there has been ongoing speculation that wireless charging company Energous has inked a deal with Apple and could potentially provide wireless charging technology for the upcoming iPhone 8,” says columnist Juli Clover, who adds that a new investor’s note from Copperfield Research outlines why Apple has no plans to use Energous’ WattUp radio frequency-based wireless charging solution.
