The report also adds that the iPhone Edition will be touted as the 'Anniversary Edition' iPhone and will be sold in limited stocks. Some major casemakers including 9To5Toys.com have updated their internal SKUs this week to iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone Edition, which adds further credence to the leak.
iPhone Edition accessories and cases have started cropping up on Amazon US as hundreds of iPhone casemakers are reportedly flocking to the iPhone 8 name.
Sources have also confirmed that the iPhone Edition will support Qi wireless charging at a lower rate that will be supported by current Qi chargers including those installed on Starbucks. The handset will also come equipped with a stainless steel chassis with rear glass casing, facial recognition, and a bezel-less display with improved Gorilla Glass 5 protection, as per the sources.
