The next Apple smartphone is expected to arrive in September 2017 if Apple follows its usual schedule. It should be marketed in the days that follow. Bloomberg, however, reported a possible delay in production that would shift the marketing date to October or November. In fact, the glass slab ... Apple would not dismiss the plan B which consists of adopting an aluminum plan, as on the iPhone 7, if that does not work. Another persistent rumor: Apple would only release an improved version of its iPhone 7 in 2017, according to a Deutsche Bank analyst quoting the ValueWalk financial site. The iPhone 8 would therefore wait 2018. Information confirmed by three employees of Foxconn on Reddit.
Price of iPhone 8
Here again, all is speculation. Apple had decided to keep the prices practiced usually when it released
its iPhone 7. Will it do the same again? The iPhone 7 is sold, for recall, 769 euros in its version 32 GB, 879 euros for its version 128 GB and 989 euros for its version 256 GB. Add 140 euros for the iPhone 7 Plus to each version. A rumor nevertheless lends the intention to Apple to increase the price of the smartphone to make it cross the symbolic bar of $ 1,000, as part of a 10 year anniversary edition. A Goldman Sachs analyst, Grace Simona Jankowski, also believes that this psychological threshold will be reached.
The MacOtakara website claims that the base of the wireless recharge would be sold separately from the iPhone at a price of around 70 dollars.
IPhone Features 8
We finally expect two versions: two iPhone 7S and 7S Plus but also an iPhone 8 premium. It is almost a certainty that the latter will carry an Oled screen with edges slightly curved at the level of the glass as is the case on the iPhone 7. Apple would intend to integrate the Home button (deleting the physical version ) And the fingerprint sensor below the screen.
This last step is according to analyst Timothy Arcuri. Very problematic. This is due to the slow pace of technology used since the Authentec acquisition in 2012. Several options are available to the apple brand. Wait 2018 to take out this Oled screen, put the fingerprint sensor on the back of the smartphone or abandon it to turn to facial recognition.
However, the apple brand has already filed a few patents to obtain details on the integration of the fingerprint sensor under the slab of the device.
Options have already been discussed in other media. For IDrop News, Apple would rather be tempted by the prospect of placing this fingerprint sensor on the back of the device, not satisfied with the results obtained with the sensor placed under the screen. Still according to the site, the back of the iPhone 8 would be covered with metal, not glass.
Apple could be tempted to resume the design of the very first iPhone, which we will celebrate 10 years. A rumor relayed by the Korean site ETnews which evokes the reappearance of the silvered back chrome-plated or even the plastic bottom.
The Wall Street Journal evokes the temptation of a "flexible LCD screen" developed by Japan Display. A technology that according to the advanced negotiations could be present within the iPhone as early as the iPhone 8.
Another innovation announced by the Nikkei Asian Review, the output of a wireless charger. The technology already equips many smartphones of the market among which Samsung. Apple has so far only recourse for its connected watch, Apple Watch. But the recruitment of engineers specialized in technology suggests that the firm at the apple will finally take the step for its smartphones.
