In the hands of Engadget were “extremely detailed” CAD-file (or in Russian CAD) of the housing smartphone iPhone 8, and it was obtained from “reliable” sources. File-based authors Engadget managed to create a few renders for reference.
The most conspicuous change is vertical, not horizontal, organization of dual cameras, as well as the fact that the microphone and the flash will now become part of the ledge in the housing, reserved for the camera. While the outlines of the body look familiar, the rear panel, in fact, be made of glass, which allows you to integrate wireless charging. To wireless charging also indicates the structure of the back of the case, not reflected in these images.
On the rendering shows the smaller of the two versions of the iPhone 8. According to Engadget this proves that dual camera and wireless charging will become a standard feature for all models of iPhone 8. As for the diagonals, the younger version of the source attribute 5-inch screen, instead of the current 4.7-inch and the older version of Plus — 5.8-inch instead of the current 5.5-inch. Edge of the display is significantly reduced, but the overall dimensions of the smartphone are still a little increase.
Recall that in 2017, most analysts expected big redesign since Apple will be celebrating 10 years since the release of the first iPhone. As one of the upcoming innovations most commonly mentioned OLED display. Rumor has it that the iPhone 8 will be touch screen in the entire front panel, the hardware Home button will turn into a virtual, in fact, its functions including fingerprint recognition Touch ID will be to perform a portion of the screen. Also report advanced biometric capabilities, improved the mechanism of tactile feedback Taptic engine and wireless charging.
However, there is a version on minor changes in next iPhone. According to sources from Taiwan suppliers, the new Apple smartphones will be the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 7s iPhone 7s Plus. They will be updated versions of the current generation the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, without significant design changes. The main innovation will be the processor A11, and the rumors about the glass case and wireless charging is not justified. Furthermore, it is reported the appearance of additional colour options red. Also, assume the output medium 5-inch iPhone with dual camera, mounted vertically, not horizontally like the iPhone 7 Plus.
Recent leaks, however, predict the emergence of three versions — the Deluxe iPhone 8 or iPhone c X 5.8-inch OLED screen is more expensive than $ 1000, as well as 4.7-inch model with LCD-display under likely called the iPhone 7s and 5.5-inch iPhone 7s Plus LCD, which will receive less differences from current-generation Apple smartphones.
Since the release of the original iPhone in 2007, Apple released the next generation once a year. With the release of the iPhone 3GS in 2009, the company established tradition in even-numbered years to release major update with the following number in the model name and a new case design, and the odd model with suffix “s” in the title and changes, mostly concerning the “under the hood” hardware and software components.
Based on this tradition, the appearance in 2017 models and iPhone 7s iPhone 7s Plus seems logical. However, given the anniversary and the release of analyst reports of low sales of the iPhone 7, the experts tend to expect a much improved iPhone 8 already for next year, not in 2018.The current generation of smartphones, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the company introduced to the public on 7 September 2016. Major innovations steel design with an offset to the edges of the plastic inserts for the antennas, protection against water according to IP67 standard, touch a mechanical button “Home” and a powerful Quad-core processor Apple A10. In addition to everything else, a great modification 7 Plus is a dual camera with optical zoom and blur the background images in the style of SLR cameras. In addition, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus lost a 3.5 mm audio Jack minijack, but in the box with the phone comes an adapter cable to connect headphones to the Lightning port. At the time of the release of the iPhone 7 was the most powerful smartphone in the world.
