Sharemarket investors are over the moon about the prospects for Apple's next iPhone. But the company's top executive isn't sending the most bullish signal.

Samsung has finally unveiled the Note8, successor to the notoriously-explodable Note7. We've already taken a look at its specs, pricing and Australian availability, but how does it stack up against Apple's iPhone 7 Plus?

• Mark Gurman

It's not easy standing out in the smartphone game. Apple and Samsung Electronics pretty much have the market locked up with high-performance phones that look pretty and work well. The response from Turing Robotic Industries (TRI) is a $2000 phone linked to a high-end "concierge" service overseen by a digital assistant named Sir Alan.

Apple just pushed out a version of the HomePod firmware, and not only does the code tell us more about how the smart speaker will work, it also offers a few clues about the next iPhone.
