This time we have a set of new iPhone 8 render images
that allegedly depict the finalized hardware design for the device.
According to the images, the upcoming model is
expected to pack a 5,8 inch OLED display with minimal bezels (only 4 mm in
size) and no home button obviously. The render of the bottom edge confirms that
the 3.5 mm headset jack won’t make a return in this smartphone, and the
Lightning port lives on (at least for now).
Rumors insist that it will also support USB Type-C
connectivity with fast charging capability and it will have a larger On/Off
button on its side that will host the Touch ID fingerprint sensor we have all
been trying to find its placement.
We also expect the device to run on iOS 11, with
some new design improvements and new placement for the icons on the top of the
display but so far we have no idea where the front facing selfie camera will be
placed. There’s however some bezel left on the top side of the render, so
perhaps they will place it there.
If you are saving money for the upcoming iPhone
flagship then you’d better prepare for a hefty US$ 1100-1200 price for the two
variants of the phone: one with 128GB of storage and another one with 256GB.
