| iPhone 8 propels Apple's return to growth in China, Toyota wants us all to love our cars very much and Switch predicted to top Wii U sales in year one. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for October 30, 2017. 1. The iPhone 8 returned Apple to growth in China China, once Apple's fastest growing market, has recently been a tough spot for Apple in terms of increasing its shipments year-over-year. But the iPhone 8 has changed that, according to research firm Canalys. Yes, the iPhone 8 – not the iPhone X that seems so much more highly coveted. This is great news for Apple of course, but it'll be interesting to see how the much more expensive iPhone X strikes Chinese customers. 
2. Toyota believes AI is truly the future for cars – and in a "Her" way There's no question that Joaquin Phoenix's character in 'Her' felt a deep connection with Scarlett Johansson's virtual assistant, and Toyota seems to want to achieve a similar kind of connection between a driver and their car, and it's working with SRI International to make that a reality. 3.

Apple gets set for a race to $1 trillion Apple is gearing up for a run to see if it can become a $1 trillion company, on the back of its iPhone sales this year. Thanks to the iPhone X, it could go far and above past performance and even expectations and rise from its current $842 billion market capitalization. 5. Elon Musk's first Boring Co. tunnel is... well, you know Elon Musk's Boring Co. tunnel digging company is making progress, and the serial founder proved it with a pic of their first tunnel dug under LA. It's not visually exciting, really, but it is conceptually thrilling, if you're into high-speed underground hyperloop networks. 6. Twitter addresses revenge porn in new rule change Twitter has a new policy that bans revenge porn more stridently than ever before, but the proof will be in its enforcement of its policies, which hasn't been great with its harassment rules thus far. 7. Techie tea infuser startup shuts down Oh, no one wanted your $1,000 tea infuser? You don't say.
