Apple self-driving car ‘will become more popular than the iPhone’
Apple’s iPhone has changed the way we do everything from watching TV to hailing a taxi – but its next product could be even more revolutionary.
Apple will release a self-driving car which will be its ‘next star product,’ an analyst with a long track record of accurate Apple predictions has said.
Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities predicts that the car will be released some time between 2023 and 2025.
He predicts that the car will become Apple’s most successful product.
Apple has sold more than a billion iPhones since the device launched in 2007.
