Apple saw their numbers take a hit at the end of last year, but they are more than making up for it with their upcoming iPhones. The anticipated iPhone 7S and 7S Plus have had plenty of rumors, but the upcoming iPhone 8 could truly revolutionize the look of Apple’s phone.
iPhone 7S, 7S Plus vs iPhone 8 Release Dates
This will be accompanying the other two phones which seems a little confusing, but this is the plan so far. We’re hearing that the iPhone 8 will actually be hitting the street shortly after the 7S comes out making diehard fans either pony up for two phones or grit their teeth waiting for the latest technological advancement.
What To Expect With The iPhone 8
Simply put, this will be as big an upgrade as Microsoft Windows 10. Just without all those frustrating bugs that Microsoft is known for.
Apple looks to be following in Samsung‘s footsteps by going for a larger screen without making their iPhone even bigger. This will include a 5.8-inch edge-to-edge screen that will have no bezel or home button. Sound familiar?
If you’ve seen that beautiful curved AMOLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, that’s what to expect with the iPhone 8. This could also be due to Apple getting the OLED screen from Samsung for this model. So, they’ll be replacing that LCD screen with a flexible plastic OLED which will be a huge improvement.
If smaller is your thing, the iPhone 8 will also be coming with a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screen.
Touch ID Sensor Plus Glass
This will be built directly into the display along with the camera. For years, we’ve heard that the company wanted to introduce a model that looked like a single sheet of glass, so this looks to be it.
Glass is very important for phones that have wireless charging. You can also expect a curved glass back replacing the aluminum one in previous models.
Lose the Lightning But Not The Speed
The USB-C will allow for super-fast charging. This is already available in the iPad Pro that uses a Lightning to USB-C cable.
The iPhone 8 will also get an upgrade with a 10-nanometer A11 chip to enable all these major innovations while also being energy efficient.
Wireless Charging
If you’ve got a Samsung S7 phone, you already know how much easier the stationary charger is. Many of us often forget to plug in our devices, and when you really need it, it’s dead. It’s much easier to just set it down on the round flat device when you get home.

An interesting area that Apple is hoping to include is that if someone steals your iPhone 8, it would be able to get the thief’s fingerprints and photo. This may not be ready for 2017, but all you’d have to do is tap into an app if your phone is stolen, and it will record the person along with showing their location. It sounds creepy, until someone takes your belongings. Then you’re happy it’s there.
