IPHONE 8 PRICE, RELEASE DATE, SPECS AND RUMORS

Since the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8, more and more rumors and supposed leaks are starting to emerge about the Apple iPhone 8. The market is buzzing with the possibility that Apple might be releasing not just two, but three different models. The rumors surrounding an "anniversary" iPhone 8 are especially interesting. The news is that the iPhone 8 may feature a rear-facing 3D laser for autofocus and augmented reality.

Apple iPhone 8: price and variants

Let's talk about the price. The Apple iPhone 8 will cost a pretty penny. The model created for the tenth anniversary of the Cupertino firm phone leaves the "normal" iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus as alternatives. While the two "normal" iPhones are expected to follow the current pattern of prices, it is expected that the iPhone 8 approaches the threshold of $1000. Here is what the price distribution may look like:

Apple iPhone 7S: from $750
Apple iPhone 7S Plus: from $900
Apple iPhone 8: probably over $1000
Apple iPhone 8: release date in September
In recent years Apple has presented its new iPhone in September, placing them on the market shortly after. Even the iPhone 8 will probably be presented to the ninth month of the year, but the wait to have it in your hand be a bit longer than usual. BGR reported that Apple has been choosing components for the iPhone Anniversary model that will be completely new, and this will ensure that there will be an adequate inventory of the iPhone 8 only in October or November (even if there is even talk of January 2018).

Meanwhile, there are contradictory statements about the future availability of the iPhone 8. Some rumors say that the anniversary iPhone won't be sold until 2018, Digitimes from Asia announces that there are no problems with the suppliers and the new iPhone will go on sale just after its debut. The release date and availability of the iPhone 8 is an open ended question.

Apple iPhone 8: technical specs

There's no truly reliable information out there about the iPhone 8's technical specs. It is assumed that the new Apple smartphone will be equipped with a more powerful processor, probably called the A11. The anniversary model should also have more internal memory, up to 256GB.

Apple iPhone 8: camera

Apple might also be experimenting a bit with its camera setup. The dual camera orientation might be switched from horizontal to vertical on the iPhone 8 to improve the image quality. In addition, Apple's latest smartphone might also feature a dual-lens dual camera on the front of the phone. If you want to learn about the advantages of a dual camera, check out this article.

Apple iPhone 8: display

All the experts agree, the screen of the iPhone 8 will be the strong point of the new Apple smartphone. Just like the Samsung Galaxy S8, Apple will also greatly reduce bezels around the screen for the iPhone anniversary. While the display resolution is still unknown, it is almost certain that Apple will equip the iPhone 8 with an OLED panel, while the 7S model will keep the LCD display. Fingerprint reader, speaker, camera and sensors might be integrated behind the glass.
