Ifwe talk about Apple’s plan for its upcoming iPhone 8, the company is expected to introduced major design changes with its 10th-anniversary edition. The iPhone S8 is expected to get 5.8-inch OLED display, and sensors such as Touch ID and front facing camera embedded into the display to reduce top and bottom chin. Apple is also rumored to introduce a “Function area” right below the display that will offer functionality similar to the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro.
Apple, too, is expected to redesign its handset.
A brand new OLED-based iPhone 8 model should join mostly iterative LCD-based iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus updates. iPhone 8 is widely expected to have its sensors, the front-facing FaceTime camera and Touch ID embedded into the display, resulting in a drastically reduced top and bottom chin.
