Knowing that 2017 will mark the 10 anniversary of the iPhone, the upcoming iPhone models will have some new major redesigns and high-end technology. Fans and critics will definitely see the upcoming iPhones in a different light.
The iPhone 8 Will Have A New Name?
According to the video source, the iPhone 8 will have a new name. Why? Because technically, 2017 will be the iPhone's 10th anniversary and there is a big chance that Apple could do something different to commemorate the 10-year anniversary.
Apple Will Launch 3 iPhone 8 Models
There have been many talks about how many iPhone models will be launched next year. The most common names being thrown out there are the iPhone 7S, iPhone 7S Pro, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. However, as we are nearing iPhone's 10th anniversary, fans and critics have been able to narrow it down into 3 models: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and an unnamed exclusive flagship model.
What Is The Unnamed Exclusive Flagship Model?
The unnamed model will be very different compared to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. According to the same source, it's said that it will look like a single sheet of glass. Perhaps this is where we will see the true long-rumored "all-glass" design of the iPhone 8 rumors. But of course, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus will also have an all-glass design, it just won't be as high-end and exclusive compared to the unnamed flagship model.
Specs And Features Of The Unnamed Model
It is rumored that this device will be smaller compared to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. It will have a 5.2 inch of usable space, organic display, superior contrast ratio, superior black colors, it won't have a backlight, and lastly, it features a curved display. Almost forgot, it also has a "bendable" or "folding" feature.
The iPhone 8 Will Not Have A Home Button
If you look at the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus design, it doesn't really have a real Home button. It's just like a piece of glass that is physically there as a Home button, but it really isn't. It has been reported by many sources that in the iPhone 8 models, the Home button will be non-existent - physically. About how the users will access the iPhone 8 if there is no home button, it's reported that the iPhone 8 models will have a Touch ID feature that will replace the Home button. Meaning, the home button could be accessed anywhere on the screen.
The Unnamed Model Will Be Expensive
The unnamed model will represent that best of the best of what Apple can offer. Knowing this, people can definitely expect the price tag reach close to $1,000. This is where the "exclusive flagship model" comes in place.
The iPhone 8 Will Have Wireless Charging
Given that the iPhone 8 will have an all-glass design, it will also feature wireless technology. According to the same video source, an all-glass design allows easier transmission of energy. So people can expect that the iPhone 8 models will have a wireless charging feature.
Cameras and Processor
It is reported that both lenses of the iPhone 8 Plus cameras will feature an optical image stabilization motor. Meaning, compared to the iPhone 7 Plus' wide angle and photo-lens cameras, the iPhone 8 Plus will be able to deliver a much higher quality of photos and videos. About the chipset, while the iPhone 7's A10 is labeled as the fastest, the iPhone 8 will be powered by the A11. In which compared to the A10, the A11 will have a 20 percent of power and 40 percent decrease in energy consumption.
