Apple has launched recently its latest iPhone 7 but is now on the plans of creating the next version iPhone 8 soon. Next year iPhone will celebrate its 10 years anniversary and with this achievement it will be a great milestone for the company. It is tipped that Apple is to skip the “s” upgrade of iPhone 7 and will directly move to iPhone 8. The rumours about iPhone 8 is running all over and according to rumours the major change is to be seen in the design that would feature a bezel less curved display.
Tip on the changes
The latest information or change in design on iPhone 8 was informed by Blayne Curtis and Christopher Hemmelgarn, both analysts from Barclays’. They cited the same to multiple resources on their onsite visit to Asia. The analyst from Barclays’ are the first to give some design insight of upcoming iPhone 8 who claim that overall size of the phone will remain same but there will be significant change in the size of the display screen. The Apple phone will have bezel less display with an expected increase of the display screen to up to 5.8 inch.
OLED display panel for iPhone 8
During their Asia trip, both the analyst gave some significant information and also said Apple is all set to integrate in its latest iPhone 8 OLED display. The new OLED display will most probably have better power saving and hence will reduce consumption of battery. It is also to provide more accuracy in the scheme of colours, deeper blacks and greater contrast. The OLED change will give the phone curved edges on all sides and the OLED panels is as of now only an expected decision for iPhone 8 Plus models. The OLED display screen models are also to be manufactured by LG and Samsung. Sharp has plans to manufacture OLED display but now until 2018.
Conclusion
The analyst also tipped that Apple’s 3D touch technology might not be there in iPhone 8 but will be replaced by solution which is film based. Right now iPhone 7 uses PCB technology to integrate the 3D technology but iPhone 8 is expected to see change. It is also indicated that iPhone 8 is also to have wireless charging which enables one to charge phone from a distance of 15 feet. The user might not even require the charging plate for charging it. It is also expected to sport back made of glass in combination of A11 processor along with touch based ID system.
