New features and specs of iPhone 8

As one of the most expected phones in 2017, iPhone 8 has been attracting the public’s attention ever since the announcement of iPhone 7 as the 7 didn’t bring much surprise as people had expected. And rumors about iPhone 8 have been floating about for a long time. Details about the iPhone 8 keep being unveiled to the public. Although those rumors have never been proved to be real, we can still learn a little bit about what Apple’s planning to bring to the new generation of iPhone.

Below are several leaked features of iPhone 8:

  • The Home button is canceled and the TouchID fingerprint will be integrated into the screen.
  • 5.8 inch OLED full screen.
  • Support for wireless charging, and battery life increased.
  • Front camera hidden.
  • The front and rear of the phone are 2.5D cambered glass.
  • Ultra-narrow bezels, which means the physical borders plus screen black border add up to less than 4mm.

The change of Home button has been rumored to be true which comes along with the brand new 5.8-inch borderless display. It's reported that the fingerprint sensor would be built into the screen thus eliminating the necessity of a physical Home button in the front. And Apple seems to have been working on wireless charging for more than two years and it's very likely that they would roll it out this year. Also the iconic design of iPhone 4 might come again on the iPhone 8 as it's reported that iPhone 8 might be using 2.5D glass on both the front and the back of the phone.

About the hardware, iPhone is likely to be featuring an A11 chip from and the RAM is unlikely to be upgraded to 6GB.
