Apple
has plans to push its services revenue into hyper growth — but it won't

Apple CEO John Sculley.
"I think the iPhone is still,
probably, the most valuable product in the world, and should continue
that way for some time," Sculley told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Tuesday. "The iPhone has more and more services, and more of them are video, the battery life becomes a big issue."
Reports about the next iPhone
have centered around features like a flexible organic LED screen,
wireless charging and the bigger batteries allowed by the lack of a
3.5-millimeter headphone jack, Sculley said. In part, that's because
those features allow batteries to last longer for draining activities,
like watching movies from the cloud, Sculley said.
