The upside scenario assumes that Apple is able to improve its smartphone market share to levels of about 17% from about 15.5% per our base case, driven by higher sales of its new models and its larger selection of legacy models (iPhone SE, 6S and 7).

The upside scenario assumes that iPhone ASPs will rise to about $800, versus our base case estimate of $760, driven by sales of the flagship iPhone X and higher storage versions of other iPhones.

The upside scenario projects Services revenue to grow to close to $40 billion, driven by higher subscription and App Store revenues. Other product sales also post stronger than expected growth, driven by new products such as the HomePod, Airpods and the Apple Watch, which is gaining traction.
