Also: A virus hits one of Apple&#039;s main chip makers, raising concerns about production delays, and we look at how Apple could be planning to transform your iPhone into a passport and ID card. <\/p>\n<h2>The thousand-dollar iPhone X could be the new normal<\/h2>\n<p>With a base price of $999, the iPhone X set the record for the most expensive iPhone ever, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/for-apple-q3-earnings-its-all-about-the-next-iphone\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">that clearly hasn&#039;t stopped consumers from snatching it up<\/a>. Despite the skeptics who doubted whether it would sell as well, the 10th anniversary iPhone has been Apple&#039;s best seller each week since it went on sale Nov. 3.<\/p>\n<p>At this rate, why wouldn&#039;t Apple apply the same business model to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/iphone-2018-iphone-x-plus-11-9-launch-date-specs-price-release-date-competition\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">2018 iPhone lineup<\/a>?

In addition to rising prices for components, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/why-iphone-and-android-prices-will-get-even-higher\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">companies like Apple and Samsung are seeking higher profit margins<\/a> per unit to compensate for the fact that people aren&#039;t trading up their phones as frequently as before, Jessica&#039;s article says.<\/p>\n<h2>Virus at iPhone chip factory <\/h2>\n<p>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), aka the company reportedly making the A12 chip for the 2018 iPhones, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/iphone-chip-maker-tsmc-fights-virus-at-factories\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">was hit by a virus on Aug. 3<\/a> that shut down production over the weekend, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-08-04\/tsmc-takes-emergency-steps-as-operations-hit-by-computer-virus\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to a Bloomberg report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/2018-iphone-continue-thousand-dollar-trend-virus-at-apple-chip-factory-a12-passport\/\" alt=\"apple-a10-fusion.png\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet3.cbsistatic.com\/img\/fWnKW-x7Ngs76OSyZUTx350B2Bg=\/970x0\/2016\/12\/13\/3e633c56-c760-4baf-837a-8cd6119eabe7\/apple-a10-fusion.png\" alt=\"apple-a10-fusion.png\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>But that doesn&#039;t necessarily mean delays for the next iPhones. Because TSMC didn&#039;t specify which facilities were infected, there&#039;s a chance that the ones handling the A12 chip weren&#039;t hit. Most of the factories were up and running by Monday, so even if they were impacted, a two-day delay probably wouldn&#039;t scotch Apple&#039;s launch schedule. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tsmc.com\/tsmcdotcom\/PRListingNewsAction.do?language=E\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">In a statement Monday<\/a>, TSMC also said it would be able to make up for lost time in the fourth quarter. It also noted that the virus didn&#039;t come from a hack, but rather a &quot;misoperation during the software installation process for a new tool.&quot;<\/p>\n<h2>Could your iPhone replace your passport?<\/h2>\n<p>First your credit cards, and now your personal identification. Apple&#039;s plans to turn your iPhone into your digital wallet were further exposed in a <a href=\"http:\/\/appft.uspto.gov\/netacgi\/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&amp;r=16&amp;p=1&amp;f=G&amp;l=50&amp;d=PG01&amp;S1=(apple.AANM.+AND+20180809.PD.)&amp;OS=aanm\/apple+and+pd\/8\/9\/2018&amp;RS=(AANM\/apple+AND+PD\/20180809)\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">patent published this week by the United States Patent and Trademark Office<\/a> that shows how the iPhone would secure &quot;document importation&quot;. This could include driver&#039;s licenses, ID cards, passports and any other form of government issued identification. <a href=\"https:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/18\/08\/09\/apple-wants-iphone-to-be-proof-of-identity-and-replace-passports\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">According to an Apple Insider report<\/a>, the same system could even be used for nongovernment purposes like company badges or access cards. Information would be kept safe using a separate secure element similar to the system used in Apple Pay and could be accessed only by the authorities using short-range radio: RFID or NFC.<\/p>\n<p>But a patent doesn&#039;t necessarily guarantee that the feature or product will make it to market, and Apple would still need to clear some hurdles to make this a reality. <\/p>\n<h2>Last week&#039;s iPhone news: 2018 iPhones may be missing something, and iOS 12 hides clues about the next iPhone<\/h2>\n<p>If rumors are true, Apple may be ditching the free headphone jack adapter that comes in the box with this year&#039;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/reviews\/apple-iphone-x-review\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">iPhones<\/a>.

Code alone doesn&#039;t guarantee that we&#039;ll see a reflection of this in September&#039;s hardware, but it does mean the company&#039;s working on this kind of option.<\/p>\n<p>A dual SIM option doesn&#039;t make much sense in the US, where there&#039;s currently no carrier support, but it would help Apple attract the overseas markets, where it&#039;s looking to expand as expressed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/apples-iphone-x-keeps-selling-as-q3-earnings-services-revenue-soars\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">its earnings call Tuesday<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2>Apple hits a trillion<\/h2>\n<p>Apple has officially joined the four comma club.

But that was way back in 2007 and it was only sitting pretty on the Shanghai Stock Exchange for a short while. The other company that&#039;s potentially worth even more than Apple is Saudi Aramco, the oil and energy firm. Reports suggest it could be worth up to $2 trillion. But unlike Apple, it&#039;s a private company, so there&#039;s no way to know for sure.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/2018-iphone-continue-thousand-dollar-trend-virus-at-apple-chip-factory-a12-passport\/\" alt=\"apple-wwdc-2018-1205\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnet3.cbsistatic.com\/img\/Cr8D-gQboqor4K2m6jiU6_6gSQM=\/970x0\/2018\/06\/04\/094faa9a-3f48-4a70-a648-a4f19dd5c77c\/apple-wwdc-2018-1205.jpg\" alt=\"apple-wwdc-2018-1205\"\/><figcaption>\n<p>Tim Cook<\/p>\n<p>                                                     James Martin\/CNET                                                 <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>All things considered, this is a serious turnaround for a company that almost went bankrupt in the late 1990s.
