Iphone 8 Rumour Roundup

August 2017

Last year, we saw the iPhone 7. And although many were looking forward to a new design and impressive new features, Apple released a phone with a nearly identical two-year-old design, an OS that still looked the same, and airpods in lieu of the 3.5mm headphone jack. It seemed like a minor “S” upgrade; many were disappointed, while some brand loyalists, rejoiced. This year, we’re looking at the release of Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone. With just months of the expected release, there’s plenty to speculate about, and a lot to actually look forward to. Here, we have a rumor roundup.

Iphone 8 Rumour Roundup

A Radical Design

Year after year, numerous designs are leaked prior to the actual release. Many hints come from leaked cases that give a clue on how the new phone might look. Some come from supposedly leaked schematics straight from Apple, while others come from supposed supply chain leaks. However, it’s important to note that Apple tests numerous prototype models before the actual release, and after the scandalous leak of the lost iPhone 4 prototype back in 2010, Apple has taken extra steps in ensuring that these type of leaks are avoided. With this, it’s best to take all rumors with a grain of salt.

Dubbed the “iPhone 8”, the phone is rumored to have a radical design with an impressive screen to-body ratio. Following the 2017 tech trend of “more screen, less phone”, Apple is rumored to join in, with an edge-to-edge display up front, similar to Sharp’s flagship FS8016 and FS8010 phones. At the back is a rumored dual camera with a similar look to the iPhone 7 Plus, except that it’d be placed vertically.

An all new mirror-like finish is also rumored to be released. In terms of the size, the 8’s is said to be in between the current iPhone’s 7 Plus and 7’s size. So yes, we might see a fourth addition to the current iPhone size offering.
