However, if they do launch in the quarter, it likely won't be until the very end, having a relatively small impact on the period.

For its fiscal 2017 fourth quarter, Apple provided the following guidance:

• revenue between $49 billion and $52 billion

I'm trying to understand this -- projected revenue for next quarter which ends September, which means approximately 8 days of new iPhones sales if they go on sale Friday, September 22nd:

52 billion on the high end.

Up from 45 billion this past quarter.

How is that a "relatively small impact on the period"? Surely this includes some new iPhone launch revenue?

Pointless comparing Q4 to Q3, each quarter have very different sales cycles. Yes the quarter will contain a few days of new iPhone sales, but it does every year.

Q4 2016 was $46.9 billion so Apple is certainly expecting some growth in revenue. Some of that will be on-going increases in services revenues but clearly some is from new products. If we assume it is iPhone related, Apple either expect it to do better than the iPhone 7 or they plan to launch earlier to get more sales into the quarter. One thing it hopefully suggests is that there won't be a delay or shortage of phones at launch.

Any idea if the public beta of iOS 11’has this fix too?

Of course, all newly discovered security flaws will be included in final version! 

I'm sure the final version will have this issue fixed but that isn't answering the question that was asked.

Wait i don't understand, if electronics are "duty free" then why UK Apple prices are usually calculated  with tax when you checkout?! ummm lol

Electronics are exempt from import duty, they are not exempt from VAT when sold.

BULLSHIT

I am not chip expert but I would agree. It would be strange when Apple would make A10 in 14nm and A10X in 10nm. A11 is expected to be 10 nm.

Why? 10 nm wasn't available at the time for the iPhone 7 but it is now, and it also makes sense to start using it on a 'low' volume product such as the iPad or Watch if yields are low.
