The 8 roumours on iphone 8 or speculations

iPhone 8 may cost above $1,000


According to a report on Fast Company website's website, Apple iPhone 8 smartphone could sport a price tag of well over $1000. Citing sources close to the company, the report claims that this is because OLED displays are said to cost the Cupertino-based company almost twice as the LCD displays used in the current-generation iPhones.

All-glass design


The upcoming Apple iPhone 8's design is claimed to be completely different from that of the existing iPhone 7/iPhone 7 Plus. Rumours claim that iPhone 8 could sport an all-glass body. The device also showed up in an alleged leaked video recently. The camera positioning, front panel and the overall build are said to get a refreshing change.


Curved OLED display


Several reports claim that the smartphone will have a 5-inch flexible OLED display, built by Samsung. The entire-front panel is rumoured to be covered with 2.5D glass coating. The front camera is said to be camouflaged behind the screen. Speculations also suggest an increased screen-to-body ratio.

Vertical camera position


Apple is also expected to make some changes in the camera department in iPhone 8. The rumoured smartphone, besides sporting more number of megapixel and in-camera specifications, could sport a vertical dual-camera positioning instead of a vertical positioning. This means that the smartphone will better recognize foreground and background when placed horizontally in a VR headset.



Runs on A11 processor


Apple iPhone 8 is likely to run on the company's faster A11 processor. The processor is said to be made using 10nm FinFET manufacturing process, same as Qualcomm's 835 is made on. TSMC or Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is reportedly to begin the production of A11 chipsets this month. A better processor could also result in a better battery life. As for the RAM, the iPhone 8 could sport 3GB RAM. While some reports say that only iPhone 8 will feature 3GB RAM, some say that the iPhone 7s and the 7s Plus may also sport 3GB RAM.



3D technology


Another highlights of the rumoured iPhone 8 is said to be the inclusion of 3D sensing technology. For this, Apple is reported to be working with a company called Lumentum, which develops 3D sensing technology. However, so far there are no details on how Apple plans to implement the technology in its upcoming smartphone.

Screen-embedded fingerprint sensor


iPhone 8 is speculated to have finger-print sensor embedded right into the screen. With this, the display is expected to stretch to the lower part of the front panel, which may be called 'Function Area'. The Touch ID-embedded Home button too is said to be replaced by a fingerprint sensor embedded in the display.


Augmented reality


The iPhone 'Edition' smartphone could also feature augmented reality (AR) features. Supporting the rumour, a Bloomberg report recently claimed that Apple has assembled a team including experienced hardware and software developers to push its AR efforts. The team is led by a former Dolby Laboratories executive and includes formers members from Facebook's Oculus and Microsoft's HoloLens divisions.

Moreover, plans above Rs 149 will offer Jio Prime members more data and extra validity on the first recharge. However, customers who have already subscribed to the Jio Summer Surprise offer will not get this extra data and added validity. Reliance Jio has also trimmed the postpaid plans from the original seven plans announced at launch, to three plans with denominations Rs. 309, 509 and 999 respectively.
