Apple is said to have beefed up its orders of OLED screens from Samsung, suggesting most iPhone 8 models might use the tech, while other rumors include improved waterproofing and long-range wireless charging. Here are the latest leaks.
Iphone8 Camera:
While you might expect the dual-lens snapper found on the iPhone 7 Plus to filter down to the standard version of the iPhone 8 that's not likely, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who in a research note obtained by MacRumors claimed that the high cost and niche appeal of dual-lens cameras meant Apple would probably limit the tech to "high-end" models – likely meaning the iPhone 8 Plus.
In the same note he suggested that the telephoto lens in the dual-lens camera might get optical image stabilization.
The battery will be able to dramatically increase the battery capacity to new internals, like a stacked ‘substrate-like’ PCB main board.
More importantly, Apple might finally support wireless charging, as Foxconn is apparently looking into the tech for Apple. The company is trailing rivals there and with the removal of the headphone jack being free of cables completely is surely the next step.
iPhone 8 OS and power:
iPhone 8 will run iOS 11. As for power, Apple only just moved to a quad-core chip with the iPhone 7 range, so we expect quad-core again for the iPhone 8, with the chip likely called the A11 or the A11 Fusion. A power boost is a given, with a faster quad-core processor and 3GB or 4GB of RAM likely.
iPhone 8 design:
We're expecting a big change for the iPhone 8,as apple's stuck with a largely similar design for the last three iPhones. That change could start with the material it's built from, as analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reckons the phone will have a curved glass back (as well as a curved screen), rather than being metal like the iPhone 7.
Expect a big change to the design of the phone. It's too early to say for sure what that will be, but a glass back is believable and has solid sources backing it up.
It would still require a metal frame apparently, which makes it sound a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, especially if both panels are curved
Another source also points to a glass back, with a stainless steel frame in place of the aluminum Apple currently uses in its phones.
Their major design change that's been rumored is the removal of the home button, with Touch ID instead being built into the screen.
All that said, a source in the Taiwanese supply chain claims the design won't be changing, other than the addition of a new red model, so don't count on huge changes.
Lastly, iPhone 8 price:
iPhone 8 is likely to cost a similar amount to the iPhone 7, meaning a starting price of around $649/£599/AU$1,079, rising potentially to around $849/£799/AU$1,379 for the largest (probably 256GB) storage size and even more for the iPhone 8 Plus.
