How long does the battery last? Old building or new.

We didn’t have time to announce the sale of the iPhone 7, but rumors and speculation about a new generation in the series of “Apple” smartphones have already begun to appear. We may already have some assumptions regarding the flagship of the line of these phones. In various sources we can read about probable concepts. According to the latest data, it can be argued that the G8 may have a curved OLED display. Various design masters are already coming up with their own variations of what the iPhone 8 will look like.

Here's a selection of five of the best ideas:
1. The collection begins with the concept of designer Tobias Büttner. At first glance, this product resembles the creation of other smart phone manufacturers. The only thing that connects it to the iPhone is the logo on the back of the phones.
What can be considered special is that Tobias’s “eight” is supposed to be thinner than the previous generation gadget. The device also came out without frames, they are not only missing from the sides, but also from the bottom. The Home button is now integrated into the bottom of the OLED display. The phone is also curved on both sides. The glass back houses the dual main camera and flash. The lower and upper edges remained metal.

2. A more likely design was proposed by the designers of the Techconfiguration publication: they created the concept of the future device, relying on Apple patents.
According to this version, the iPhone 8 is completely curved on both sides. But the gadget should not be similar Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which has display curves on the sides. The body of the figure eight should be completely rounded. The phone will also have no frames, only a strip with a speaker will be left, and there will be no Home button. The back panel has two cameras, which are located one above the other.

3. The rendering concept of designer Matteo Gentile is considered relevant. In his video we see an almost perfect iPhone-style gadget, the phone is made entirely of glass. The smartphone has a thin 4 mm body and a frameless display. There is also no standard Home buttons, it will be built into the screen. The designer also has the likely characteristics of the device: a 12-megapixel front camera and a 12-megapixel main camera. high resolution. There is also a wireless charging function.

4. The video provided by the Android Busters channel also suggests a very real version of the phone. The creators of the render believe likely to appear namely a completely glass body. But they do not suggest a frameless solution for the device. The Home button, however, is built into the ultra-clear OLED display.
Designers have assumptions about the “filling” of the device: an A11 processor made using a 10 nm technical process, 4 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of memory on a flash drive. The latest iOS 11 operating system will also be installed. It will also be equipped with a dual main camera with 16 and 12 megapixel sensors.

5. Let’s finish this collection with the most incredible iPhone 8 concept, which at the moment difficult to consider real. Authors from the Sonitdac channel present an Apple smartphone equipped with curved screen, with the function of growing to tablet size. The device will have a mechanism with which the display can be removed from the phone. This option, although not real, can very much attract attention.

A detailed and honest review of the iPhone 8.

iPhone 8 is a new generation smartphone from Apple that has a glass body, support for Qi wireless charging, a 4.7-inch display with True Tone technology, and a six-core A11 Bionic processor. World start iPhone sales 8 took place on September 22. IN Russia iPhone 8 and 8 Plus went on sale on September 29. iPhone price 8 in Russia is 44 9 90 rub. for the model with 64 GB of memory and 54,990 rub. for the model with 256 GB of memory. We present to your attention detailed review of iPhone 8.

Name

Apple named the next smartphone after the iPhone 7 not iPhone 7s, but iPhone 8. Thus, the company jumped over one generation of smartphones, according to at least, according to ordinary logic release of new iPhones. Why did Apple decide to name the new iPhone iPhone 8? The point is the huge number of innovations that the device received.

Equipment

Apple remains the same, at least when it comes to packaging. The iPhone 8 comes in Apple's traditional rectangular packaging, with the smartphone itself depicted on the front side.

The word “iPhone” is emblazoned on the side edges of the packaging, and on the back - technical information, including information about the capacity of the built-in memory. We have on review silver iPhone 8 with 256 GB of internal memory. This is the top version when it comes to storage capacity. This year, Apple released new iPhones in only two configurations: with 64 and 256 GB of memory.

The packaging of the iPhone 8 is standard, as is the equipment, of course, compared to previous models Apple smartphones. The iPhone 8 kit includes:

• charger,
• USB/Lightning cable,
• EarPods headphones with Lightning connector,
• branded clip for removing the SIM card tray,
• documentation.

Everything in the package is as per GOST from Apple - nothing superfluous, nothing new. As everyone knows, the iPhone 8 supports wireless charging, but it is not included with the smartphone. And this is not Apple's whim. No other manufacturer, when releasing a smartphone that supports wireless charging, includes a docking station for the device. That's how it happened.

Docking station for wireless iPhone charging 8 will have to be purchased separately. Fortunately, Apple did not come up with its own wireless charging standard. iPhone 8 supports the generally accepted Qi standard. This means that almost every dock on the market will work for wireless charging of the iPhone 8. Even from budget ones. There is no need to purchase an expensive model from Apple, since the company has indeed released its unique AirPower docking station.

In other words, the iPhone 8 did not surprise me with either its configuration or packaging. However, the smartphone has made it all different.

Design

The shape of the iPhone 8 is no different from the iPhone 7. At all no different. Apple presented a smartphone recognizable in all its features, which, nevertheless, another. Let's start with the fact that the back surface of the iPhone 8 is not aluminum, but glass. The use of glass allowed Apple to generally maintain the look familiar to the iPhone, but significantly refresh the design of the smartphone.

The front and back surfaces of the iPhone 8 are made of glass. According to Apple, this glass is 50% stronger than any other glass that was previously used both in the company’s devices and in all mobile gadgets in principle. I readily believe this, but the iPhone 8 and its glass body do not feel armor-piercing.

However, it was not possible to leave scratches or even hints of them on the back surface of the iPhone 8 during the short period of interaction with the smartphone. We will definitely update this paragraph after we have tested the iPhone 8 a little longer, when it becomes clear whether Apple has made a “revolutionary” glass or not.

The frame between the glasses is made of aluminum, which is used in the aerospace industry. For each iPhone 8 color, the frame is painted to match the body.

The iPhone 8 feels very good in the hand. It doesn't slip at all, which, considering its glass body, is simply amazing! It shines beautifully in the rays of light and under chandeliers, but you don’t have to squeeze it too hard - the device itself seems to cling to your hand, it’s as if it even sticks a little to your hand - Apple has huge respect for this. After all, Apple is Apple. She managed to make the glass so non-slippery that the iPhone nearby The 7 Plus, with its aluminum body, feels much more unruly in your hands.

And if the glass on the back surface was frankly pleasing, then on the front it was at least confusing. The protective glass, of course, is covered with an oleophobic coating, but fingerprints are left on it with some incredible ease. They can be erased just as easily, but the fact of their appearance is of much more concern.

During the first hours of using the iPhone 8, something like a scratch even appeared on the display. In this regard, it is completely unclear. Either we got such a copy of the iPhone 8 (as many people know, there are cases of defects in the first batches of iPhones), or the back surface of the iPhone 8 is covered with more durable glass.

Let's go through the elements of the body. On the front surface of the iPhone 8 case there is a traditional physical button“Home” (it disappeared only in the iPhone X), on top there is a front camera, a built-in stereo speaker and a microphone.

On the back there is a single camera, flash, Apple logo and the inscription “iPhone”.

On the bottom edge there is a second built-in stereo speaker, a second microphone and a Lightning connector.

The right side is dedicated to the SIM card tray and the power button. The left side is for the volume buttons. All these elements have not changed in any way compared to the iPhone 7.

The dimensions of the iPhone 8 are 138.4 × 67.3 × 7.3 mm, weight - 148 grams. For comparison, the dimensions of the iPhone 7 are 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm and the weight is 138 grams. The difference between the case sizes of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 is insignificant.

Yes, the iPhone 8 is very similar to the iPhone 7. If you put Apple’s new product in a case (which most people would probably want to do), then external differences There will be absolutely nothing from the previous model. Despite this, the iPhone 8 still has a wow effect! When you hold the iPhone 8 with a glass “back” in your hand, there are some special sensations that are not similar to those that arise when using the iPhone 7 and previous models. But, unfortunately, in terms of iPhone design 8 gives a wow factor just with its glass back. Otherwise, it's the same iPhone 7.

How dirty does the case get?

The silver iPhone 8 we reviewed definitely pleased us with the fact that fingerprint marks are practically invisible on its glass back surface. Traces, of course, remain, but the color of the case “eats” them and makes them visible only from certain angles. We give the silver version of the iPhone 8 a big plus in this regard.

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to test the iPhone 8 in gold color yet, but we have tested the space gray version. And this very “feeling” was pleasant to the hands, but not very pleasant to the eye. On the dark iPhone cover 8 prints are clearly visible. If with the silver version of the iPhone 8 you need to look for a certain angle to see the stains, then with the gray version, on the contrary, you have to look for the angle so that the fingerprints disappear from sight.

Let's summarize. The glass on the back of the iPhone 8 gets dirty. But fingerprint stains are very noticeable only on the space gray version.

Case colors

iPhone 8 is available in three colors: silver, gold and space gray. As you have already seen, we received a silver version for review. For the sake of completeness, we’ll show you what other colors of the iPhone 8 case look like.

Display

iPhone 8 has a 4.7-inch Retina HD display with a resolution of 1334x750 pixels and a pixel density of 326 ppi. The screen aspect ratio is 16:9, the display covers 65.57% of the front surface of the smartphone. We've seen all this before somewhere, haven't we?

The display type of the iPhone 8 has not changed compared to the iPhone 7. However, there were plenty of changes. New display iPhone 8 supports advanced color gamut, leading Apple to call its new smartphone's display "all-new."

And if the last statement can be called into question, then the uniqueness of the True Tone technology cannot in any case be questioned. iPhone 8, along with iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, became the first smartphone to support this technology. True Tone automatically adjusts white balance based on lighting conditions. This makes viewing images and reading text on iPhone 8's display more enjoyable in any lighting conditions.

The iPhone 8 display also has improved color reproduction, making photos on the smartphone screen look even brighter and more saturated. And thanks to dual-domain pixels, the display can be viewed from almost any angle.

iPhone 8 / apple.com

The maximum brightness of the iPhone 8 display is 625 cd/m². And in terms of this display indicator, the iPhone 8 is no different from the previous model. The screen of the new Apple smartphone is very bright; there are no problems with recognizing text or images even in bright natural light. The iPhone 8 display contrast is 1400:1.

Specifications

At the heart of the iPhone 8 is a system based on six-core processor A11 Bionic - unique for all mobiles Apple devices chip. Four A11 Bionic cores are responsible for efficiency, and two for performance. The performance cores of the A11 Bionic are 25% faster than those in the A10 Fusion processor, which is installed in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, and the efficiency is 75%. The A11 Bionic processor has 4.3 billion transistors.

iPhone 8 features a second-generation Performance Controller that gives the processor extra power when needed. It is noteworthy that with such acceleration of the A11 Bionic, the iPhone 8’s charge is consumed economically. iPhone 8 has a triple-core graphics chip that's 30% faster than previous model. Apple developed the new video chip themselves, without the help of other companies.

On in iPhone's words 8 is a real performance monster. But how will the smartphone perform in synthetic tests?

iPhone 8 has fully proven and confirmed all the rave reviews about its performance from Apple executives. The six-core A11 Bionic chip simply tore apart all others flagship smartphones. In the Geekbench 4 benchmark, the iPhone 8 scored 4248 points in single-core mode. Compared to the iPhone 7, the increase was 17.9%, compared to Samsung flagships many times more. iPhone 8 by 54% faster than Galaxy S8 and 53% faster than the recently released Galaxy Note8.

In multi-core mode in the Geekbench 4 benchmark, the situation has changed somewhat. Far behind the iPhone 8 is the iPhone 7, whose A10 Fusion processor has two fewer cores.

Testing in the AnTuTu 6 benchmark confirms the enormous advantage of the iPhone 8 in terms of performance. And if the lag of the same iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 does not seem surprising; after all, these are smartphones of the previous generation, then it is not the highest performance of the Galaxy Note8 that is striking. The latest Samsung smartphone, which was released at the end of August 2017, is very far behind the iPhone 8.

The conclusion from the synthetic testing carried out is quite simple. iPhone 8 is the most powerful smartphone of 2017. Taking into account the experience of previous years, we can confidently say that the iPhone 8 will remain so for many months, probably until the release of the next Apple smartphone. Of course, let's make an amendment - iPhone 8 is one of the three most powerful smartphones in the world. He is accompanied on the podium by the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.

Needless to say, “alive” iPhone performance 8 is at a prohibitive level. The smartphone instantly responds to any actions and quickly completes all tasks. Launching any applications and games is given by iPhone 8 with incredible ease. The same applies to switching between applications. Despite the fact that the iPhone 8 only has 2 GB of RAM, most often earlier running applications the smartphone does not have to be restarted.

In modern 3D games, the iPhone 8 is simply amazing. A very resource-intensive game World of Tanks Blitz on maximum settings graphics on iPhone 8 “flies like in a fairy tale.” The number of frames per second always remains at a confident level above 60. FPS drops do not occur even in intense battles. The picture quality is simply excellent. Of course, we can’t talk about the console level (as Apple likes to do) in the case of World of Tanks Blitz, but the graphics look great.

The A11 Bionic processor specifically focuses on additional reality. Work with it is carried out on highest speed, due to the smoothness and realism are significantly increased. What's more, the most demanding and immersive AR apps and games will run exactly as they were designed, only on iPhone 8.

A11 Bionic supports the second generation Metal graphics technology introduced at WWDC 2017. Developers will have the opportunity to create console-quality games that can be played directly on the iPhone 8.

Sound

iPhone 8 has improved stereo speakers that Apple says are 25% louder and deliver better deep bass. And this is true. The new stereo speakers are noticeably louder, although we wouldn’t talk about a 25% increase in volume. The speakers sound 15 percent louder - an excellent increase. Considering that there was no need to complain about the volume of the speakers in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (the first Apple smartphones with stereo speakers), there is no thought about this in the iPhone 8.

But when it comes to deeper bass, Apple hasn’t sugar-coated it at all. iPhone 8 delivers superb deep bass, which is especially noticeable when listening to music and watching movies. If you are not a fan of watching movies from a smartphone, then the iPhone 8 can convince you of this in literally 10 minutes.

Battery

According to official data from Apple, the iPhone 8 "lasts approximately the same as the iPhone 7." That is:

• Up to 14 hours talk time.
• Up to 12 hours on the Internet.
• Up to 13 hours of video playback.
• Up to 40 hours of audio playback.

Even though the thickness of the iPhone 8 case has increased by 0.2 mm compared to its predecessor, the battery capacity of the smartphone has been reduced. Capacity iPhone batteries 8 is 1821 mAh, which is 139 mAh less than the iPhone 7. Apple has reduced the size iPhone battery 8 in order to place other items under the body necessary for a smartphone components. Thanks to the extremely energy efficient Apple processor A11 Bionic, time battery life The iPhone 8 hasn't shrunk compared to the iPhone 7.

Moreover, according to the “live” sensations, the autonomy of the iPhone 8 has increased. In the first days of testing the smartphone, from morning until late evening we took photos, videos, carried out various tests, launched heavy applications, sent pictures and screenshots to work email via LTE. I had to charge the iPhone 8 only at night. Considering such a serious load, the smartphone showed its best side.

Fast charging

iPhone 8 was one of the first three Apple smartphones to support fast charging. The smartphone can be charged from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes. True, under one very important condition, which Apple executives tactfully kept silent about at the presentation of the iPhone 8. You can quickly charge your iPhone 8 only when using Apple USB-C power adapters with a power of 29 W, 61 W or 87 W. None of these chargers are included with the iPhone 8.

In the online store Apple chargers devices are sold at the following prices:

• Adapter USB-C power supply power 29 W - 3,590 rub.
• Apple USB-C 61 W power adapter - RUB 5,490.
• Apple USB-C 87 W power adapter - RUB 5,790.

So, to be able to quickly charge the iPhone 8, the smartphone owner will have to take a closer look at one of these chargers. Otherwise, the iPhone 8 will charge in the most normal way.

Wireless charging

Along with the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, the iPhone 8 received support for wireless charging. The glass body of the smartphone made the presence of wireless charging on the smartphone as painless as possible. iPhone 8 comes like all previous iPhones - with a regular charger and USB/Lightning cable. There is no docking station included, which means that for wireless charging of a smartphone charging station will have to buy separately. There will be no problems with choosing a docking station. iPhone 8 supports Qi chargers, of which there are many on the market.

iPhone 8 / apple.com

Apple also presented its unique charging dock - AirPower. Main feature AirPower is the ability to charge three devices simultaneously. True, it is impossible to purchase a docking station now. It will go on sale only in 2018.

iPhone 8 / apple.com

Until AirPower is released, Apple recommends charging the iPhone 8 using charging docks from Belkin and Mophie. We tested the Mophie charger and were a little disappointed. iPhone 8 charges slowly. In 30 minutes, the iPhone 8 was charged only 15%. You won't be able to quickly charge your iPhone 8 wirelessly. Charging via lightning cable in any case it will happen faster.

In addition, the iPhone 8 gets quite warm when charging wirelessly. And this is provided that for charging we did not use the cheapest docking station made by Mophie. For more available options The iPhone 8 will likely get even hotter. The very fact that the smartphone heats up strongly during charging is already alarming, since batteries, as you know, do not like either high or low temperatures.

Waterproof

iPhone 8 is protected from water and dust according to the IP67 standard. This means that there is no improvement in security compared to the iPhone 7.

Cameras

The iPhone 8 has a new wide-angle camera with the old resolution of 12 megapixels. Although the number of megapixels has not changed, all other camera characteristics have been improved significantly. The iPhone 8 camera has a six-element ƒ/1.8 lens, optical stabilization images. The 12-megapixel matrix itself has become faster, which has a noticeable effect when shooting.

Thanks to the new iPhone 8 A11 Bionic processor, your smartphone camera allows you to take great photos and shoot great videos without the need to install additional settings.

The iPhone 8 camera signal processor can recognize not only people in the frame, but also movements, lighting brightness and many other details. This processor developed by Apple - its technology is unique and is not used in any other smartphone.

In software terms, the iPhone 8 camera has received other improvements. It features pixel processing technology, faster auto focus, improved image quality in HDR mode and an expanded color range.

iPhone 8 vs iPhone 7 Plus: comparison of shooting quality

In artificial lighting conditions, the quality of pictures taken with the cameras of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 Plus is generally similar. The only visible differences are in the background detail, which is higher in the iPhone 8 camera.

In conditions of excellent natural light, the cameras of both smartphones show excellent results. Excellent color rendition, no distortion in multiple transitions between bright colors, high detail. If we consider the main objects, the camera of the iPhone 7 Plus is in no way inferior to the camera of the iPhone 8, but small objects, in particular in the background, were better captured by the camera of the new smartphone.

In the first photo, in bright artificial lighting, the difference between the cameras of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus cannot be called serious. Only by closely studying the detail of the ornament on the walls can you see that the dual camera of the iPhone 8 Plus coped with the task better. Against the general background, there are no significant differences between the images.

Bottom line

iPhone 8 leaves a mixed impression. On the one hand, this best smartphone ever released by Apple and will remain so until the release of iPhone X. iPhone 8 improves all the basic and important characteristics and, it would seem, what more could you want? However, on the other hand, the iPhone 8 does not feel truly new generation. If Apple had called this smartphone “iPhone 7s”, no one would have expected anything completely new from it. We would take an improved one out of the box iPhone version 7 and were amazed at how many dramatic changes there were.

Simply put, the iPhone 8 falls short of the “eight” and feels exactly like the iPhone 7s. Even despite the glass case, wireless charging, unique processor and other innovations.

But if you discard all these thoughts and evaluate the iPhone 8 simply as a smartphone, without turning around at the iPhone 7, without raising your head in an attempt to see the approaching iPhone X, then this smartphone close to ideal. Incredible performance great camera, producing images at the level of non-professional SLR cameras, wireless charging, fast charging, graceful appearance and some kind of magic glass that doesn’t slip and feels very nice.

Who should buy

Who shouldn't buy

Owners of the iPhone 7 should think carefully before buying the iPhone 8. You'll enjoy many new features, an updated camera and wireless charging (if you buy a docking station), but there won't be any strong new emotions from owning the iPhone 8. For iPhone 7 users, we recommend paying close attention to the iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR.

Apple presented the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and now everyone is asking the following questions: when will they go on sale and at what price? We will answer these questions.

2017 will mark the tenth anniversary of the release of the first iPhone devices. And all the rumors point to radical design changes to the iPhone, almost from scratch. In this article we will look at what the new iPhone device will be like next year.

• Return to using glass housing.
• Edge to edge display.
• Home button, touch button Touch ID and front panel camera integrated into the screen.
• OLED screen.
• Much faster A11 processor, manufactured on 10nm technology.
• Wireless charging.

WhyiPhone 8

2017 is shaping up to be a very interesting year for Apple. This year marks the 10-year milestone for the iPhone. And this same year will be the end of the 3-year cycle of using a similar device design concept. And 5 years since Apple company switched to using a one-piece aluminum bar design.

So, rumor has it that Apple is going to pull the rug and change a lot of things in the design. And to emphasize the importance of what is happening, Apple is going to abandon the usual cycle of naming a device - abandon the name of the next iPhone release as “7s” - and immediately assign the name “iPhone 8”.

Design

These days, almost everyone Android phone, even the younger entry-level models have a one-piece design aluminum housing. Apple needs to differentiate itself again. And according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is going to do this by returning to the era of iPhone 4/4s models, where the body was made of glass. This means that both the front and back panel was made of glass. I personally liked this design and thanks to the much more solid Gorilla Glass, it is quite possible that Apple will be able to recreate a similar design in new devices, which at the same time will not be as fragile as the iPhone 4.

Another positive factor side effect glass design is that glass panels could also enable the concept of wireless charging. Kuo also predicts that in more expensive models iPhones could even use a frame made of stainless steel instead of aluminum.

Is it possible that there will be three models??

Numerous rumors suggest the possibility of releasing three different iPhone 8 models - with screen sizes: 4.7, 5 and 5.5 inches. It's also possible that the OLED screen will only be available on the premium model.

Display

There are many different reports regarding the display of the iPhone 8 device, in which the level of absurdity varies with varying degrees. But this is what most of these rumors unanimously point to.

The screen will be from edge to edge. There will be no Home button. Touch sensor The ID and front camera will be integrated into the screen. Yes, it's a little far-fetched, but again, we're counting on Apple's ability to make the impossible possible in real devices.

There are also rumors that the screen will be OLED.

Some reports also suggest that the screen may have curved edges, like in Samsung models Galaxy S7 Edge.

Perhaps the model will appear in a new color - red

Japanese Mac site Otakara believes that Apple will update the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models in terms of performance and introduce new model red. Possible name for this model: “iPhone 7s”.

CPU

It is expected that Apple will use the A11 processor, manufactured using 10nm technology exclusively by TSMC. The size of the chip will be significantly reduced and it will have much lower power consumption parameters.

Wireless charging technology

Apple is rumored to be working on wireless charging technology. long distances. And using this technology would make sense for Apple if it introduces this feature in the iPhone 8 with a glass back.

Improved biometrics options

Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the iPhone 8 may include additional advanced biometric measurement features such as iris scanning or facial recognition features. Let's see if these features can be integrated into the new iPhone 8 device.

Cameras

According to Kuo, iPhone models with screen sizes of 4.7 inches will use a single camera. He believes that in models with dual camera finally there will be an optical image stabilization function.

iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are the last of their kind. This latest models iPhone with huge frames and Touch ID. The replacement for this model was the new iPhone XR. So is it worth upgrading your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus for the brand new iPhone XR? Or is it better to stick with the old smartphone for another year? Below we will give answers to these questions.

iPhone 8 is the latest 4.7-inch smartphone from Apple. It has now been replaced by the new 5.8-inch iPhone XS. Should you buy an iPhone XS if you currently have an iPhone 8? Obviously, the new smartphone has more functions, but even after iPhone year 8 left good smartphone. Below we will help you make a decision.

The new iPhone models have an amazing camera. It is quite possible that this best camera among all smartphones. If you have a new iPhone, you can be sure that at any time you can take it out of your pocket, take a photo, and it will turn out beautiful. This is possible thanks to the high-quality image processing of the Apple system.

As Apple celebrates the tenth anniversary of its flagship smartphone line in 2017, the company will apparently try to keep the official release date of the iPhone 8 a secret. It is thanks to the incredibly strong interest in the expected device that so many rumors appear on the Internet talking about its impressive features and functions. But let's talk about everything in order.

At this stage of development, the Cupertino team has 10 iPhone 8 prototypes in its possession, so it is not known for sure which of them will be officially presented next year. We expect him to receive absolutely new design with an edge-to-edge screen with built-in front camera and a fingerprint sensor. This means that engineers will abandon the Home button.

As for the materials from which it will be made iPhone case 8, Cupertino may return to the glass back and front panels, as in the iPhone 4. At least one of the upcoming 2017 iPhone models will receive such a body. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is also confident in this, but he also indicated in one of his reports that the frame will be made of aluminum.

When will iPhone 8 come out?

For the last few years, Apple has been introducing its new smartphones at the same time period - in September. We have no reason to believe that anything will change this time. An official event will take place in the first days of autumn, which will take place on the company’s new campus. In a week or two, everyone will be able to pre-order the iPhone 8 in Russia, and the device will be delivered by the end of September.

For example, the current generation iPhone smartphones It was possible to pre-order on September 16, and already on the 23rd the first customers began receiving their newly announced phones. Apple suppliers are reportedly already preparing to begin mass production of components for the iPhone 8.

iPhone 8 Specifications

Apparently, the Cupertino team is planning to equip the premium iPhone 8 model with a completely new production screen Samsung. Apple is expected to switch to OLED panels instead of LCD in 2017. No changes are expected in the remaining models in the display area. There is reason to believe that Apple is preparing three iPhone models: 4.7, 5.0 and 5.5-inch. It is the average 5-inch model that should receive an OLED display, different from LCD is the best contrast, energy efficiency and more.

Brief list of features:

• All glass design
• Long-range wireless charging
• Flexible OLED screen (at least in one model only)
• A11 Fusion processor
• iOS 11
• Without a Home button, but probably only on the iPhone 8 with an OLED panel
• Taptic Engine new generations
• Improved cameras
• Availability of new biometric technologies

iPhone 8 price

In this case, the cost of the 4.7-inch model may decrease significantly, since the new premium iPhone 8 with an OLED panel will become the middle model of the series. The price of the iPhone 8 with a 5.5-inch display should not change compared to its predecessor.

One way or another, there is a possibility that Apple has decided to name the smartphones next iPhone generation 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, but many analysts are confident that Cupertino will skip the iPhone iteration with the “S” prefix, because, as I already said, in 2017 flagship line smartphones turn 10 years old.
