Stocks to Look Out for With the Release of the Newest iPhone By: Zachary Merold

With the release of the newest Apple product, the iPhone XS, their stock has once again skyrocketed. This time, however, not only has Apple stock gone up, but many companies tied to the latest iPhone have also recently flourished. People may think that all components in an iPhone are made by Apple themselves, but this is not the case. For example, a company named Analog Devices Inc. is responsible for the capacitive (a technology that is able to detect anything different than air) touch screens in iPhones and Apple watches. Since this company owns the patent for these certain pieces of technology, every time one of Apple's products with this component in it sells, they have to pay Analog Devices Inc. a certain percent of the sale. Currently, there is a lot of speculation about 3-D touch feature coming to Apple products soon and many people believe that Analog Devices Inc. will be the company to develop this technology, all the more reason to invest in it now. Micron Technology Inc. is another company that makes memory modules so your iPhone can efficiently multitask and run multiple programs at once (the DDR3 SDRAM model is shown below). If you would like, you can visit this link here to read about other companies tied to the iPhone supply line, and even possibly invest in some of them.

  1. Interesting! I knew that Samsung made the panels for them, but I haven't looked into the other companies for stuff like the touch part of the touchscreen. Never was too big on stocks, though... too much to keep up with. Very informative!
