Apple Inc is fixing supply problems with the iPhone X, its most important device in years, setting the company up for a better-than-expected holiday period. 

Supported by resurgent iPad and Mac sales, the 10-year anniversary iPhone will help push revenue to a record high of US$84bil (RM355.61bil) to US$87bil (RM368.31bil) in the quarter ending in late December, Apple said in a statement. Analysts had predicted US$84bil (RM355.61bil), according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
