There are few analysts with as good a track record as KGIs Ming-Chi Kuo when it comes to Apple. His close links to companies in Apples supply-chain puts him in a good position to judge what is and isnt on the way when it comes to new products.But having a good track record isnt the same as being right every time, and his latest report that the iPhone 8 will drop Touch ID altogether seems questionable to me NordVPNFormer Time and Fortune writer Philip Elmer-DeWitt last year put Kuos reliability under the microscope, finding (in an admittedly unscientific fashion) that his overall reliability was 44%.Examples of where Kuo got it wrong included the iPhone 6 being pushed into 2015 (it launched on schedule in 2014), the next iPhone after the iPhone 6 being called the iPhone 7 (it was called the 6s, as expected), a 50% year-on-year drop in iPad sales in Q2 2015 (it was 25%) and a drop in iPhone sales to 49.4M units in Q1 2015 (it was 61.2M).
