Pair the most popular smartphone with the upcoming 5G wireless technology and it could produce combustible gains for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with heavy weightings of Apple stock. According to global investment firm JP Morgan, the iPhone maker is expected to release 5G versions of the smartphone in 2020.
“Apple is expected to release four 5G-capable iPhones in 2020, according to a forecast report from JPMorgan released Monday,” a CNN Business report noted. “According to analysts at JPMorgan, the new iPhones will likely roll out in the second half of 2020 and come in a number of sizes, including one measuring 5.4 inches, another at 6.7 inches and two at 6.1 inches. The report noted the largest iPhone will likely have sensor shift technology, allowing for better quality videos and photos when capturing motion. None of the projections detailed in the report, which are based on supply chain checks, are a certainty.”
“The report's predictions differ a bit from other speculation, some of which suggest the 2020 iPhone lineup will resemble the 2019 models with higher-end iPhones at 5.4 and 6.7-inches and a cheaper 6.1-inch phone,” the report added.
