The premium iPhone 8 is also said to include 3D-sensors to allow facial recognition as a part of new biometric feature.
In September, this year, Apple will be celebrating its 10th anniversary since the first iPhone was launched. Since the years has passed, Apple iPhones has seen change in size, shape, features and its capabilities—the iPhone has evolved in these 10 years, and hopes are high on iPhone 8 as well.
While the rumours mill is churning out information about the next iPhone almost every day, imagine the upcoming iPhone in retro look.
Designer Martin Hajek, who is known for creating 3D renders of rumoured Apple products, has put together a new iPhone 8 concept video based on the latest leaks about the handset.
In the video, the iPhone 8, placed next to iPhone 7, is shown how the upcoming iPhone would look like with an edge-to-edge OLED display, glass-and-steel-body and no homebutton.
According to information revealed by industry sources, Apple will be releasing three models of iPhones. One would be a premium iPhone 8 model and other two will be upgrade to iPhone 7— iPhone 7s and iPhone7s Plus.
The premium iPhone 8 models will feature OLED screen, while the rest will continue to sport LCD display. According to Nikkei Asian Review, Apple has already placed order for 70 million OLED panels with Samsung for use in this year’s handsets—the premium iPhone 8 models.
The premium iPhone 8 is also said to include 3D-sensors to allow facial recognition as a part of new biometric feature.
All three handsets will incorporate wireless charging and True Tone, which allow displays to automatically adjust colour temperature based on the room environment, technology.
However, these new features, especially OLED panels and 3D-sensor are cited to cause delay in the handsets' release from September to October, or even November.
