Review iphone 8

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE IPHONE 8 The iPhone 8 is just over the horizon, so it's no surprise that there's no shortage of leaks, rumours, and news. Here's what we know about the iPhone 8 release date, specs, features, and price. (Update: 22 February 2017): Prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reckons Apple is planning to introduce 3D depth-sensing to the front-facing camera on the iPhone 8, making the prospect of 3D selfies a possibility. Read on to find out more. The iPhone 8 may be a long way off, but the rumour mill waits for no man. In fact, it's already been mooted that the iPhone's components – like the A11 chip and OLED display – have already been finalised. So it already seems clear that 2017's iPhone 8 is going to bring in some significant changes. Ming-Chi Kuo, a reputable industry analyst at KGI Securities, has already given us some clues about the new phone. Probably the most interesting titbit is that the phone may feature a new 'all-glass design'. Meanwhile, a Barclays analyst recently speculated that the iPhone 8 will finally add wireless charging – that would be a first for Apple phones. Fortunately, we don't need analysts to get a rough idea of what the iPhone 8 will look like. The smartphone industry is cyclical (and thus predictable) so we're already fairly confident about what's in store for Apple fans this year. And Apple is expectedly optimistic the handset too, as outlined by CEO Tim Cook: “iPhone is an essential part of our customers’ lives, and today more than ever it is redefining the way we communicate, entertain, work and live. iPhone set the standard for mobile computing in its first decade and we are just getting started.

While we can’t pin down an exact iPhone 8 release date just yet, it doesn’t take a crystal ball to predict a launch window with reasonable accuracy. Apple tends to launch flagship phones in September, usually leaving about a week-and-a-half gap between the announcement and release. Here’s a look back at previous iPhone launches: iPhone 7: Revealed on September 7 (Wednesday), released on September 16 (Friday) iPhone 6S: Revealed on September 9 (Wednesday), released on September 19 (Saturday) iPhone 6: Revealed on September 9 (Tuesday), released on September 19 (Friday) iPhone 5S: Revealed on September 10 (Tuesday), released on September 20 (Friday) iPhone 5: Revealed on September 12 (Wednesday), released on September 21 (Friday) Based on those dates, we’d expect Apple’s iPhone 8 event to take place on either Tuesday, September 12, or Wednesday, September 13. In 2017, obviously. And the iPhone 8 release date would likely fall on either Friday, September 22, or Saturday, September 23. Of course, we won’t know for sure until much closer to the date. Apple generally announces its launch event a couple of weeks prior to the big day, so keep an eye out in late August or early September. Interestingly, an Apple staffer recently revealed to Business Insider that Apple is developing hardware for the iPhone 8 in Herzliya, Israel. The site is reportedly responsible for producing chips, storage, cameras, and wireless technologies. Of course, we can't verify this information, so take it with due caution.

Apple has always adopted a tick-tock approach to iPhone launches. One year we get a major overhaul, and the next year we get a slightly tweaked ‘-S’ variant. In 2015, we had the iPhone 6S. Last year, we had the iPhone 7. And this year, as tradition dictates, we’ll see the iPhone 7S, right? Maybe not. According to a MacRumors report, Barclays analyst Mark Moskowitz speculated the following in 2016: “There might be no 'S' cycle in C2017. Our conversations with industry participants suggest Apple could skip the “S” cycle next year and instead jump to IP8.” Moskowitz says that the high number of significant improvements that have been rumoured – like an OLED display and wireless charging – could “drive a mega cycle”. In a similar vein, Japanese news agency Nikkei reported that Apple had moved to a three-year cycle for major iPhone upgrades back in May. According to the publication's source, the decision was made due to slowing growth in the smartphone market, making it much more difficult to create a buzz around upgrades. If Apple did decide to move straight from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 8, it would be a serious break of habit. However, it’s been speculated for a while that Apple could eventually drop the numbers in the iPhone branding entirely, instead just calling 2017’s handset: iPhone. It’s not without precedent; Apple’s third-generation iPad – the iPad 3 – was marketed as ‘The new iPad’, to help simplify Apple’s tablet branding. However, not all rumours are in agreeance. Throwing a spanner in the works is Japan's specialist Apple blog Mac Otakara, which claims that Apple will release an iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus this year. The information is sourced to an anonymous tipster in the Taiwanese part of Apple's supply chain, and says the new handsets will feature the "same basic design" as the iPhone 7, with the only major update being the introduction of a new A11 chip. But given Mac Otakara's mixed track record for leaks, and the consistency of rumours to the contrary, we're inclined to doubt this report. A separate leak suggested we'd also see three different versions of the iPhone 8 this year – check it out. Do you think Apple should finally get rid of the numbers in the iPhone branding? Let us know in the comments. IPHONE 8 FEATURES – WHAT’S NEW ABOUT THE IPHONE 8? Despite the iPhone 8 being months away, we’ve already seen a significant volume of rumours about the handset. Enough to warrant this article, anyway. So what’s expected to change? Here are a few of the rumoured features: All-glass design Wireless charging OLED/AMOLED display 5.8-inch screen A11 chip Intel 7360 LTE modem iOS 11 software No home button Unfortunately, analysts at KGI Securities believe some of these new features – like the OLED display – could be reserved for a select variant of the iPhone 8 Plus. We’ll update this article with newly rumoured components as and when the leaks arrive, and you can read on below for more information about exactly what the iPhone 8 will look like.

A new report claims that Hon Hai Precision Industry – better known as Foxconn in the west – is working on a “glass casing” for Apple, in a bid to replace the standard metal chassis. Taiwan’s Foxconn is a key supplier of metal chassis for Apple already, and aims to develop the new glass body to “boost weakening demand and to see off stiff competition from rivals”, according to a new report by Japan’s Nikkei news agency.
