The iPhone 7 is expected to be out by September though it has been advised by critics to save their money for the iPhone 8. The reason behind that is belief that the iPhone 8 will be the smartphone carrying major changes though such is not likely to stop Apple buyers to still get one.
A quick rundown on the iPhone 7 shows minimal changes that will cover an expected more powerful processor, a slightly tweaked design and the probably inclusion of a dual-lens camera module (though it is believed this will be for the iPhone 7 Plus version only). Aside from those, there is not much to look forward to.
So how about the iPhone 8? Rumors are coming in left and right on what the next Apple flagship for 2017 will carry and leading the pack is a rumored AMOLED display. This is somehow tied up to the fact that Apple is negotiating with Samsung on AMOLED technology which spurs up the chances of the iPhone 8 coming with an AMOLED screen.
Aside from the display, the iPhone 8 could come out with a new waterproofing technology as well. This may have something to do with a filed patent (20150326959) or something referred to as the “Liquid expulsion from an orifice”.
If this patent gains steam, it means that the iPhone 8 will be able to dry itself by simply pumping liquid out through the speaker grilles of the smartphone.
Inside, there will be big bumps in the internal specs as well. The iPhone 8 is rumored to be coming with a powerful A11 processor that will be backed by 4 GB of RAM. Aside from that, a DSLR-like camera could be another perk it may carry plus better (lithium-air) battery life aided with wireless charging capability.
On the outside, the iPhone 8 will also come out in an all-glass design per Allen Horng, the CEO of Catcher Technology.
“Apple will make its 2017 iPhone using a glass casing. Breaking down the radical shift, Horng said using a glass chassis would prove expensive and that Catcher requires “advanced processing technology” to pull it off. He also explained that the chassis would need to be reinforced by a metal frame.”
There will be plenty more features likely stressed before the iPhone 8 becomes official but before all that, focus is on the iPhone 7. But again the question remains, should you hold off getting the iPhone 7 and wait for the revolutionary iPhone 8?
