Another thing about its hardware is that the iPhone 8 could feature a ceramic body, which can already be seen on the premium Apple Watch Series 2.
iPhone 8's Unique Home Button
It is believed by many tech enthusiasts that the signature home button of the iPhone will have a new design. Rumor has it that the iPhone 8 will ditch the home button and become almost bezel-less.
