Apple will announce the company's latest iPhone lineup in September or October. This year's offerings are likely to be significant because 2017 is the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone, which was launched in June 2007. Here are the latest iPhone 8 rumors. Come back often for updates.
One year, four new iPhones?
Last updated Jan. 12, 2017
For the first time in history, Apple could announce four new iPhones at the same time. These handsets could differ by screen size and materials used plus offer differing internals.
"iPhone 8"
First among these could be a 5.8-inch iPhone 8 model featuring an OLED display. According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, this model will include an "active screen area" of between 5.1 and 5.2-inches.
Key components:
- All glass design
- 10-nanometer A11 chip
- Edge-to-edge display from Samsung
- Camera and Touch ID integrated with the display
- Long-range wireless charging
- First new iPhone design since iPhone 6 launched in 2014
- "Unprecedented" sales numbers expected
Parts for the iPhone 8 could be manufactured in the United States. Apple is said to have bypassed usual supplier Foxconn and placed orders for forged stainless steel iPhone casings from U.S.-based Jabil.
"iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 7s Plus"
Apple typically releases "s" iPhone models in odd years. This naming convention should continue with the release of the "iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 7s Plus." Because of the simultaneous release of the iPhone 8, however, these handsets will play a less significant role than past "s" models.
The 4.7-inch iPhone 7s and 5.5-inch iPhone 7s Plus are expected to be very similar to the current-generation models and feature aluminum bodies. The only visible change: Apple might introduce a Red version to go along with the current Space Gray, Jet Black, Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver options.
5-inch 2017 iPhone model
In late December 2016, the rumor mill suggested that Apple was also prepping a new 5-inch iPhone. This handset could have identical specifications to the 2017 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones. Unlike the other two, however, this model may feature a vertically-designed camera.
Back in October 2016, Nikkei Asian Review said a 5-inch iPhone for iPhone 7 was a possibility. Until this latest report, we've heard nothing further on the subject.
