Specs and features

According to reports, and rumors mentioned by The Mirror, the makers are planning to ditch the Touch Id fingerprint scanner in iPhone 8. In display terms, the phone will have a 5.8-inch display with the A11 processor. The phone is likely to be more advanced than the iPhone 7s and 7s plus. One of the most popular rumors about iPhone 8 is that the firm is planning to ditch the home button and come up with secure unlocking on their device.

Edge-to-edge display

In terms of design, the phone might possess a glass body and Edge-to-edge display. It will be moving away from its usual aluminium body which was seen in the iPhone 5, 5s, 6, 6s, 7, and SE.

The glass of the phone will be built around a polished stainless steel design that's similar in design to the Apple Watch.

From the camera perspective, the phone may have a 14-megapixel camera along with full 4K video capabilities as well as 3D filming. Also, the vertically-aligned cameras would offer a better viewing experience.
