Apple fans are not yet over with iPhone 7, but reports are now circulating in the internet on the features and design of the next Apple smartphone, the iPhone8.
Even though the release of iPhone8 is quite far, a report by Daily Mail claimed that it will have a drastically different design from all the previous iPhones. In addition, iPhone8 is expected to come with a far better camera.
The publication disclosed that an Apple employee at its site in Herzliya, Israel revealed significant details about the next handset in the series.
Even though the information is scarce, it is speculated that it could be true as it has come from someone who works at the site where the hardware components of the handset are manufactured.
Apple's iPhone 8 would be the 10th anniversary phone, therefore, speculations are high that the company may decide to do things differently in 2017. The phone is expected to have a curved screen, bigger size, smooth texture and rigid sturdiness.
Several reports indicated that iPhone will directly compete with Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in terms of styling, performance and features. The launch of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge took place in February 2016.
Typically, each iPhone in the series is followed by its "S" version. However, the unnamed Apple employee continuously referred the next phone as "iPhone 8." Therefore, speculations are high that the company may directly launch iPhone 8, and skip the release of iPhone 7S altogether.
Meanwhile, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Ku believed that Apple may switch to "2.5D glass" from "3D glass" in iPhone 8. The 2.5D glass has a special curvature that enables it to remain more scratch-resistant and durable than 3D glass, according to BGR.
Apple, on the other hand, has not released any official statement regarding the launch of iPhone 8.
