Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus couldn’t get even a month old, and Apple aficionados are already itching to lay their hands on Apple iPhone 8. Business Insider reported that Apple is currently developing the hardware that they will use in iPhone 8.
The hardware is currently under works in the Apple office in Israel. The hardware will be entirely new for Apple. Rumors suggested that Apple will incorporate the edge-to-edge display in Apple iPhone 8. The camera will also improve in the upcoming iPhone.
Apple usually releases three phones consecutively with similar names, but the next phone will be different. Apple will celebrate its 10th year for iPhones next year, and it will go all out to make 2017 a special one.
Since Apple is set to launch a new iPhone on the occasion of the 10th anniversary, fans believe that the Cupertino company will most likely launch the Apple iPhone 8 to mark the special occasion.
Apart from iPhone 8, some believe that Apple might call the upcoming iPhone, iPhone X or iPhone Anniversary.
Speculations claim that Apple iPhone 8 will significantly differ from the predecessors. This further backs rumors that Apple is looking to revamp the design. Apple has received a lot of criticism for the same design for all the iPhones and plus a Chinese company has blamed it for stealing blueprints for the iPhone design.
According to Tech Times, Apple will launch iPhone 8 with a full glass body with an edge-to-edge display. The display will force Apple to remove the Touch ID and home button from the front screen. Apple will have to develop a product or technology that will allow the phone to register the fingerprints via the glass body.
Apple has been working to develop a technology that allows the fingerprint scanner to work from beneath the screen. The company might use ultrasonic waves to scan the prints.
Since Apple will go for the edge-to-edge display for Apple iPhone 8, they might remove the home button. The decision is determined by how successful are the results of the 3D Touch technology.
Apple hasn’t confirmed or denied the reports, and the enthusiasts will have to wait for the company to make the official announcement on these features.
To make the Apple iPhone 8 durable, Apple will use Zirconia ceramic to make the AMOLED display. The reason to go for Zirconia ceramic is that it is durable and dissipates the heat easily. The same material has previously been used by Apple in their Series 2 Apple Watch.
Apple is set to make a lot of design changes for iPhone 8. They received a lot of complaints since users claimed that the design for iPhone 7 is similar to that of iPhone 6. Users severely criticized the companies decision to remove the headphone jacks.
Apple will use the A11 processor for Apple iPhone 8. The performance for Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus thanks to the A10 processor was much appreciated. Potential buyers are excited at the prospect of getting a more powerful processor with iPhone 8.
Even the processor for iPhone 8 will be different from iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Apple has started rolling out software updates at quick intervals to eliminate jailbreakers. The Apple iPhone 8 will have the iOS 11.
Apple is tight-lipped about the software and users will have to wait and find out the different features and functions of iOS 11.
