iPhone 8 | Features that you are probably unaware of

ABOUT iPhone:

 iPhone (/ˈaɪfoʊn/ eye-fohn) is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. They run Apple's iOS mobile operating system. The first generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007; the most recent iPhone model is the iPhone 7, which was unveiled at a special event on September 7, 2016.

     The user interface is built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and can connect to cellular networks. An iPhone can shoot video (though this was not a standard feature until the iPhone 3GS), take photos, play music, send and receive email, browse the web, send and receive text messages, follow GPS navigation, record notes, perform mathematical calculations, and receive voicemail. Other functionality, such as video games, reference works, and social networking, can be enabled by downloading mobile apps. As of January 2017, Apple's App Store contained more than 2.2 million applications available for the iPhone and other iOS devices (SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA)

Marking its tenth anniversary of iPhones, Apple has a major iPhone redesign planned for 2017, with full glass body featuring an edge-to-edge OLED display that includes an integrated Touch ID fingerprint sensor and front-facing camera.  IPhone 8 is believed to have some awesome specs and with high-end features.  Apple is now concentrating on the OLED display. The new iPhone may be sold alongside upgraded (but standard) 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhones.

  EXPECTED FEATURES
  
  

Glass body

Camera and Touch ID integrated in display

No Home button

Wireless charging

Three models - One OLED, two standard

WATER RESISTANCE:

• IPhone 8 is considered to feature the iP68 water and dust resistance as similar to the current Samsung Flagships. The iPhone 8 might be able to withstand 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes while also offering full dust protection. That means it will continue to hold up to splashes and brief immersion in water, but customers should still make an effort to avoid water as Apple's iPhone 7 warranty does not cover water damage and it's likely the iPhone 8 warranty will also exclude water damage.

Processor:

• All iPhone models coming in 2017 are expected to use Apple's A11 chip, including the OLED iPhone 8 and the more modest 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhones (which could be called the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus).

• Volume production on the A11 chip, built on a 10-nanometer FinFET manufacturing process by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), is expected to begin in April, with an aim of hitting a production capacity of 50 million units by July. The A11 chip is expected to be both faster and more power efficient than the current A10, manufactured on a 16-nanometer process. It could introduce speedier performance and better battery life.

  

DISPLAY:

• DigiTimes, citing sources within the Taiwanese supply chain, has also predicted Apple will adopt a glass body with a stainless steel frame for improved sturdiness in the iPhone 8. The iPhone 4 and 4s, made with a glass back, also used a stainless steel frame. Bloomberg, a site that often has knowledge of Apple's plans, has confirmed Apple's plans to use steel-framed glass for the OLED iPhone.

• There are two possible outcomes based on the rumors we're hearing: Either we get three iPhones with glass bodies and wireless charging, with extra features to set the OLED model apart from the standard models, or we get a single OLED model with a glass body sold alongside two standard aluminum devices.

• At least one iPhone 8 model is expected to include a flexible OLED display and Apple has already signed a deal with Samsung to produce OLED displays for devices set to debut in 2017.

 Wireless Charging:

• Early iPhone 8 rumors suggested Apple was working on long-range wireless charging technology that could be implemented as soon as 2017, but more recent information and speculation suggests that instead of long-range wireless charging techniques, Apple will instead use an inductive-style wireless charging solution (similar to the Apple Watch) for the device.
• Apple in February joined the Wireless Power Consortium, which is committed to the open development of the Qi wireless charging standard that's widely used in devices like the Samsung Galaxy line, and Apple has filed dozens of patents for inductive charging. Dozens of hires with expertise in wireless charging have also joined the company in recent months.
• Apple is rumored to have at least five different groups in its company working on implementing wireless charging technology in the next iPhone.

 3D TOUCH:

• With Apple implementing glass bodies for the iPhone and introducing at least one OLED display, new 3D Touch technology may be required. According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will need to use a new 3D Touch module with "additional graphite sheet lamination" for heat reduction.

 Release Date:

• As the trend suggests, Apple iPhone 8 is believed to be launched somewhere between September of 2017.
  
  
  
  

 BATTERY LIFE:

As far the rumors goes, we’ve heard few rumors on the prospective battery life of the iPhone 8, but one rumor from Fast Company says the device will include a "far bigger battery," which could result in improved battery life. A larger battery could also be implemented to power features like an OLED display or new biometric features that are rumored, though, so longer battery life is not a guarantee.

Apple is said to be planning to use a stacked logic board design that will support longer battery life. With the improved logic board, the iPhone 8 will be able to offer the same battery life traditionally available in the 5.5-inch iPhone in a device the size of the 4.7-inch iPhone. An L-shaped two-cell battery pack with a capacity around 2,700 mAh could be included.

Battery life could be further improved through the use of a more energy efficient OLED panel.

 

 RAM:

• Like the iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 8 is rumored to include 3GB RAM. While one rumor suggests only the high-end OLED model will include 3GB RAM, 

 STORAGE:

• One rumor has suggested the iPhone 8 will include increased storage space, which could make the device more expensive than previous-generation iPhone models, and another rumor says it will be available in 64 and 256GB capacities.

 CAMERA:

• IPhone 7 had a rear camera of 12MP but the new iPhone 8 is believed to have a camera of 12.4mp and some software improvements which will heavily improve the camera on the phone

 more powerful Siri:

• Apple is said to be taking advantage of technology it acquired when it purchased AI startup Turi in August of 2016. It's not clear if improved Siri capabilities will be introduced in iOS 11 and available for multiple devices or tied specifically to the iPhone 8

IOS 11:

• With the new release of iPhone 8, IOS 11 is also believed to be introduced.

Only limited apple devices are considered to run IOS 11: 

• iPad Air 1, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch
• iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4
• iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus
• iPod touch (sixth generation)
  
  
  It is only our prediction on IOS 11 as it went on IOS 10:
  
  

• The following devices were able to install and run iOS 10:

• iPad 4, iPad Air 1, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro 9.7-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch
• iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 4
• iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus (the latter two not listed below, of course, because they hadn't come out by this point)
• iPod touch (sixth generation)

• Here are some of the rumored features that are probably included in IOS 11:

• Dark Mode
• New Snapchat-like video app
• New Messages features
• Contact Availability Status
• Updated TV and Music apps
• Handoff for media
• IPad-specific features
• Finger-detecting dynamic keyboard
• Multi-user FaceTime calls
• In-camera augmented reality
• Improved Maps
• Multiple user accounts
