Apple’s Future Phone – iPhone 8
With the release of the iPhone 7 in late 2016, Apple is preparing for another major release in 2017 which is the year the company will mark its 10th year anniversary. There will be a major redesign and iPhone fanatics will be treated to new and exciting features such as an integrated touch ID sensor and secondary camera. The screen size of the upcoming iPhone 8 may be around 4.7 to 5.5 inches.
Everyone around the world is expecting Apple to make its tenth year anniversary big which is why there is a high anticipation for a major phone release this year. Presently, there are rumours that Apple is testing over ten prototype models of iPhone so there are no clear indications about what exactly to expect.
In terms of specifications, rumours have it that there will be a noticeable difference in the build of the future iPhone 8. The touch ID fingerprint scanner and the front-facing scanner may be built into the display thereby eliminating the presence of a home button. This change alone will make the iPhone look like a single sheet of glass. The display will take up the whole front of the iPhone but we are not sure just yet what the size would be. We are however expecting a display size of 5.5 inches or more. The display is also expected to be flexible plastic OLED instead of an LCD which will make the phone consume less power and provide great display.
It is being said that the iPhone 8 will come with curved edges but we cannot say right now if the curved edges will be a part of the screen because that would mean the edges responding to touch as well. It is very unlikely that iPhone will make use of the aluminium body it used in the iPhone 5 through to iPhone 6SE. A glass body is very much likely to be used in the iPhone 8 and according to Catcher Technology, a glass body will be built around an aluminium frame or stainless steel frame.
The iPhone 8 will definitely be water resistant and will also feature a 10-nanometer all chip which will be faster and more efficient. Features like wireless charging, iris, facial or gesture recognition will come with the iPhone 8. It will also feature a dual lens camera which will have optical image stabilization. The iPhone 8 may come with wireless charging features and in terms of memory Apple may adopt the NAND Flash memory from Samsung but it is unclear whether there will be an increase in the memory capacity. The iPad pro now has its variants featuring up to 256GB so the iPhone 8 too may have 256GB of memory.
The iPhone 8 will definitely be an amazing device poised to blow the minds of everyone in the tech world. We can only expect and wait for this device to hit the market towards the end of 2017.
