Apple shares were down Friday on news that iPhone sales missed Wall Street estimates for the first time ever. But long-time analyst Gene Munster, now Managing Partner at Loup Ventures, says investors may soon forget about this when the company releases its next product.
“There is talk out of Asia about a screen that's probably about 25 percent bigger than the current iPhone X," Munster told Cheddar.
Munster says a new phone, particularly one with a bigger screen, could create even more revenue for the tech giant.
Despite lower-than-expected smartphone sales, Apple still reported record growth in revenue and earnings in its latest quarterly report. The company brought in $88.3 billion in revenue, up 13 percent from last year, thanks in large part to the hefty price tag for the iPhone X.
But Munster believes investors are starting to pay attention to more than just device sales.
"I think that there is a shift in terms of how investors are thinking about the story, more towards the platform. But there’s always this chatter about what’s the next product coming from Apple,” Munster says.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company now has 1.3 billion active device users, which Munster notes is comparable to Facebook’s monthly usership.

A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
Shares of Tylenol maker Kenvue are bouncing back sharply before the opening bell a day after President Donald Trump promoted unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism. Trump told pregnant women not to use the painkiller around a dozen times during the White House news conference Monday. The drugmaker tumbled 7.5%. Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
