Several reports are shaping up the final look of Apple’s highly-anticipated flagship smartphone for 2017: the iPhone 8.
According to Taiwan-based market intelligence company TrendForce, the release of iPhone 8 will come with a storage capacity upgrade. Citing supply chain sources, TrendForce said the iPhone 8 will come in 64GB and 256GB variants. The move was unusual for the company, as Forbes notes, considering the company has been offering storage capacity variants in threes in the last few debuts. Moreover, iPhone 7 was released in 32GB, 128GB and 256B variants.
Apple Insider also reported that instead of a curved display, TrendForce claimed that it will have the same “2.5D” glass found on Apple’s latest devices, including iPhone 7, at 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches. Although Apple indeed has signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Samsung to purchase its OLED panels, production yields and drop-test results on smartphones with curved displays could be the contributing reason why.
Know Your Mobile also cited KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo, who has had a 100-percent track record when it comes to Apple and iPhone predictions, who said that the phone will also come with a "revolutionary" front camera setup, a part of it will incorporate a new 3D sensor to work in tandem with the 2D images to create “3D selfies.” Moreover, the phone will also have facial recognition technology, thanks no doubt to Apple-owned Israeli tech firm RealFace, a leader of this new technology.
It would be interesting to see whether reception for the iPhone 8, once it comes out, will be warmer than the previous flagship phone. For a price of USD1,000+, iPhone 8 will be a real test to Apple fans.
