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.
