Now Forget the iPhone 7, it's the iPhone 8. Set for a 2017 release date to celebrate the iPhone's 10th anniversary, here's what the rumours say about the iPhone 8 UK release date, features and specification.
iPhone 7 has recently been announced and launched in many countries, but all we seem to be hearing are Curues about the iPhone 8. We think Apple might well be holding back some major updates and improvements for the iPhone 8, which will be launched on the 10th anniverary of the first iPhone. Here we round up the facts about the iPhone 8 releasing date, features and specifications.
iPhone 8 UK release date: September 2017 (TBC)
It's a bit early to talk about the iPhone 8 release date. It's not necessarily even going to be called that. However, for now that's the name we're using to keep things simple and the iPhone 8 will be the new flagship smartphone for Apple in 2017.
If tradition continues, the iPhone 8 release date will be in September 2017(soon).
However, the release date isn't quite as easy to predict as normal. 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the original iPhone launch, so we wouldn't be too surprised if Apple mixed things up a bit.
iPhone 8 specs and new features
A combination of design and hardware changes will make the iPhone 8 the most radical new iPhone to date, if we are to go by the rumours and leaks.
iPhone 8 screen
Jony Ive has wanted to introduce an iPhone which resembles a single sheet of glass for a long time and the 2017 anniversary iPhone could be the one. It's rumoured that at least one iPhone in 2017 will use a glass body, according to Apple supplier Catcher Technology. Glass on the front and back would make it like a hugely updated version of the iPhone 4S.
This, combined with the rumour that the iPhone 8 will sport an edge-to-edge OLED screen makes things rather interesting. And we're not just talking the side edges, as Apple may even go as far as to do away with the top and bottom bezels. The physical home button would be gone and the TouchID fingerprint scanner would be housed within the screen.
There were also some rumours we heard about the iPhone 7's screen that never made it to fruition. It's possible that they could see daylight with the iPhone 8.
Economic Daily News speculated that the iPhone 7 could feature a 3D display, and one that doesn't require the use of those annoying 3D glasses. The website claimed at the time that Apple supply chain partner TPK is working on a project that could produce a glasses-free 3D display, though we're not holding out much hope for this as its been done before (remember the LG Optimus 3D?) and has never done well.
There were also some rumours to suggest that the iPhone 7 could have a sidewall display, similar to that found on the Galaxy S7 edge and Note 7. This came from an Apple patent that was published in 2015. The patent hints at a future iPhone with a display that extends onto the sides of the device, providing interactive or touch sensitive portions that give access to slide-to-unlock functionality, music player controls, messaging readout, called ID, system controls and more.
iPhone 8 design
Rumours claim that the next iPhone could have a ceramic back like the One Plus X. This could make wireless charging easier to implement (read more on this below), but it could also make the iPhone 7 look rather different. The rumour came from Business Korea, but there's no real evidence to support the claim. There is, however, a rendering to give an example of what it could look like (below).
Prior to the iPhone 7 launch we heard rumours that its camera would be flush against the back of the phone rather than protruding as it is currently on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. This wasn't the case, however, so it's a design change that could make its way to the iPhone 8.
iPhone 8 processor
The iPhone 8 is thought to include an Apple A11 processor built on a 10nm process.
iPhone 8 wireless charging
It's thought that the new iPhone for 2017 will feature wireless charging for the first time.
Back in January 2016 Apple was said to be working on wireless charging behind the scenes, but we always knew that this special type of wireless charging that doesn't require users to place the phone on a charging mat wasn't expected to arrive until 2017.
One of the reasons the iPhone doesn't currently offer wireless inductive charging is because the technology has never previously worked through aluminium. But Qualcomm has revealed that its latest wireless breakthrough now does work through metal, so it's finally a possibility for Apple.
iPhone 8 home button
The iPhone 8 will reportedly not have a home button. Or not a physical one, at least. A report by Bloomberg mentions that as part of the phone's major redesign - which will focus on screen tech - Apple will ditch a physical home button. The reason is unclear, but it would lead to a sleeker look.
If Apple does remove the home button, it stands to reason that Touch ID will have to be implemented elsewhere. A rumour sparked by yet another Apple patent is that the new iPhone's Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which is usually situated beneath the Home button, could be built-in to the entire display, eliminating the need for a Home button and making room for a larger display without enlarging the overall size of the smartphone.
iPhone 8 retina scanner
Biometric features such as facial recognition or iris scanning are a possibility for the iPhone 8. If the latter is true, the retina scanner could complement or replace Touch ID, though replacing it is a clear possibility if Apple does as is expected and removes the home button.
iPhone 8 security
The iPhone 8 could capture the fingerprint and possibly photos of a thief who stole it. AppleInsider has reported on a patent filed back in April which describes a way of storing biometric data when an unauthorised user is detected. It could be used to identify the person responsible and in turn lead to information which could be used to recover the stolen device. It's unclear exactly how Apple could use the technology, but the patent also talks about machine learning, so it could be intelligent enough to figure out that it's simply your child attempting to unlock your phone and play a game.
iPhone 8 built-in e-SIM
Another touted feature for the latest iPhone that didn't see daylight and may be reserved for the iPhone 8 is that it will have an e-SIM. Recent reports suggest that it could be the end of days for the traditional SIM card, with a possible introduction of a simpler option. An e-SIM is an electronic SIM card which would replace the physical SIMs used today and instead will opt for a virtual embedded equivalent. Rumours suggest that both Apple and Samsung are in talk with the GSMA (organisation that represents the interest of mobile operators) to use a standardised e-SIM in future handsets.
What are the benefits of having an e-SIM? First things first, it'll make switching carriers easy and should allow for more flexible roaming. The idea is that with a standardised e-SIM, you'll be able to make a call and switch operators without having to insert a specific SIM card. This idea translates to roaming too, as it'll be much easier to switch to a local network if you're looking to spend a long period of time in a particular country.
iPhone 8 reversible USB charger
One rumour circulating the web is that a future iPhone will come with a new iPhone charger, with a Lightning connector on one end and a new reversible USB connector on the other end.
