: , 9to5Mac notes. The analyst is expecting the company to sell 87 million smartphones during its first fiscal quarter of 2018, which starts in October.

He is also expecting the company to sell 260 million iPhone devices in fiscal 2018, which is also higher than Wall Street’s estimate of 239 million. The analyst also increased his price target for APPL from $150 to $165.
Hackers: , reports ZDNet. The hacking group Turkish Crime Family has provided evidence that it does have the login credentials to some devices. It released these credentials to ZDNet and the publication confirmed that they were valid. However, only 10 of the 54 credentials were still current with what users had set up. Still, this does show that the threat has some merit and users should change their passwords before the April 7 deadline for remote wiping.
