Apple's iPhone 8 is coming and this time it will be special.
Every year, tons of mock ups surface and claim to look like the final version
but Apple surprise us with their ultimate reveal. Similarly, this year's iPhone
has been leaked frequent times.
However, all these laugh at ups will go to rest in a few
days from now. Apple will be conducting the launch event of the next generation
iPhone on September 12. The occasion will be held at the newly build Steve Jobs
theatre in Apple's new Apple Park which is also in its final stage of
completion.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10am on September 12 in
Cupertino, California which translate to 10:30pm for the Indian listeners. The
iPhone 8 is also expected to be accompanied by a new version of Apple Watch
during the event.
What can be expected of the event?
The biggest and almost certain publication will be that of a
new Apple iPhone 8. Apple updates since iPhone 6 have been more evolutionary
than ground-breaking and this year all eyes will be on Tim Cook to exhibit
something radical.
Other than the iPhone 8, Apple is expected to launch two
milder updates for this years' iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7. The iPhone 7s and
iPhone 7s Plus will give Apple enough padding for the risks it will take with
the iPhone 8. If the rumours about iPhone 8's exorbitant prices are to be
believed, many Apple fans might not end up buying these devices. These plans
will feature LCD display panels, unlike the OLED panels in iPhone 8.
Apple will also be introduction an Apple Watch during the
event. The update to Apple Watch has been long overdue since last years' Watch
saw more of an incremental update to the first gen device. The new edition
Apple Watch is expected to occupation independently as it will be capable of
carrying a SIM card. This standalone product can give Apple an edge in the
wearable segment.
What can we expect from iPhone 8?
The bigger change will be in the form of display on the
iPhone 8. The display is predictable to be bezel-less with the maximum screen
to body ratio ever to be found on a smartphone. The device will feature OLED
displays which are being manufactured by Samsung. These OLED displays will cost
Apple double the price for what they used in iPhone 7 Plus LCD panel.
Apple iPhone 8 launch on September 12: What does Tim Cook
have up his sleeve?
Apple might place the fingerprint sensor under the screen or
in the rear panel. There have been a few reports that also suggest that Apple
might ditch the fingerprint sensor for an alternative like face-recognition.
Analysts suggest that Apple might go for a 3D facial admiration system instead.
The camera will use dual lenses and is expected to house larger sensors. This will
help iPhone compete against the current flagships in the low-light segment. The
front facing snapper might be placed in the small serration on the top of the
OLED display.
The iPhone 8 is expected to feature a bigger 5.8 inch
display. However, the device's overall foot-print should reduce considering the
bezel-less display.
When will the device go on sale?
The new iPhones will be available for pre-booking by
September 15 and will start delivery by September 22. According to a report by
TechCrunch, Apple will begin pre-bookings for iPhone 8 but will only be
available later in the year whereas, the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will be
available few days after the administrator launch.
