Citing Apple's decision to roll out a second interim upgrade with their iPhone 7, tech buffs are going berserk anticipating what will the Cupertino tech firm come out with next.
Regardless of whether the purported smartphone arrives bearing the iPhone 7s, iPhone 8 moniker or is simply dubbed as the 10th Anniversary iPhone, at least one of the models is bound to boast an OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display and be quite large, according to Mac Rumors.
The report alludes to Barclays Research, whose analysts had a word with sources in the company's supply chain amid a trip to Asia.
Furthermore, Barclays Research analysts claim that the iPhone 8 will feature a curved, bezel-free design. Apple is reportedly gearing up to debut a 5-inch and 5.8-inch display variant, which is comparatively bigger than the recently launched 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus series.
Not too long ago, KGI Securities' Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo spilled the beans about a mammoth iPhone for 2018. The purported smartphone was said to feature a 5.8-inch OLED display. He also claimed that the iPhone 8 will boast a never before seen design and will be housed in a glass body. There's hearsay that Apple will get rid of the Home button in the upcoming version of the iPhone.
Meanwhile, Apple is leaving no stone unturned in their bid to make wireless charging actually wireless. In order to achieve this, Apple has collaborated with Energous.
Apple iPhone 8 will reportedly feature a receiver which will link to a transmitter that is plugged into wall socket in order to charge the smartphone. Users will need to bear in mind that the device will stop charging wirelessly if they move outside 15 feet of the transmitter, according to The Indian Express.
Although it's still too early to hazard a guess about the iPhone 8's display size and other features, mounting evidences suggest that Apple is indeed moving to curved edges and larger screen sizes.
