What you need to know about the iPhone 8
The iPhone 8 is less than 7 months from launch, but there's no shortage of leaks, rumours, and news. Here's what we know about the iPhone 8 release date, specs, features, and of course the price.The iPhone 8 may be a long way off, but the rumour mill waits for no man. In fact, it's already been mooted that the iPhone's components – like the A11 chip and OLED display – have already been finalised. So it already seems clear that 2017's iPhone 8 is going to bring in some significant changes.
Ming-Chi Kuo, a reputable industry analyst at KGI Securities, has already given us some clues about the new phone. Probably the most interesting titbit is that the phone may feature a new 'all-glass design'. Meanwhile, a Barclays analyst recently speculated that the iPhone 8 will finally add wireless charging – that would be a first for Apple phones.
Fortunately, we don't need analysts to get a rough idea of what the iPhone 8 will look like. The smartphone industry is cyclical (and thus predictable) so we're already fairly confident about what's in store for Apple fans this year. And Apple is expectedly optimistic the handset too, as outlined by CEO Tim Cook:
“iPhone is an essential part of our customers’ lives, and today more than ever it is redefining the way we communicate, entertain, work and live. iPhone set the standard for mobile computing in its first decade and we are just getting started. The best is yet to come."

iPhone 8 Release Date UK & US – When will the new iPhone 8 come out?
While we can’t pin down an exact iPhone
8 release date just yet, it doesn’t take a crystal ball to predict a
launch window with reasonable accuracy. Apple tends to launch flagship
phones in September, usually leaving about a week-and-a-half gap between
the announcement and release.
Here’s a look back at previous iPhone launches:
Here’s a look back at previous iPhone launches:
- iPhone 7: Revealed on September 7 (Wednesday), released on September 16 (Friday)
- iPhone 6S: Revealed on September 9 (Wednesday), released on September 19 (Saturday)
- iPhone 6: Revealed on September 9 (Tuesday), released on September 19 (Friday)
- iPhone 5S: Revealed on September 10 (Tuesday), released on September 20 (Friday)
- iPhone 5: Revealed on September 12 (Wednesday), released on September 21 (Friday)
Based on those dates, we’d expect
Apple’s iPhone 8 event to take place on either Tuesday, September 12, or
Wednesday, September 13. In 2017, obviously. And the iPhone 8 release
date would likely fall on either Friday, September 22, or Saturday,
September 23.
Of course, we won’t know for sure until much closer to the date. Apple generally announces its launch event a couple of weeks prior to the big day, so keep an eye out in late August or early September.
Interestingly, an Apple staffer recently revealed to Business Insider that Apple is developing hardware for the iPhone 8 in Herzliya, Israel. The site is reportedly responsible for producing chips, storage, cameras, and wireless technologies. Of course, we can't verify this information, so take it with due caution.

iPhone 8 Features – What’s new about the iPhone 8?
Despite the iPhone 8 being months away,
we’ve already seen a significant volume of rumours about the handset.
Enough to warrant this article, anyway. So what’s expected to change?
Here are a few of the rumoured features:
A new report claims that Hon Hai Precision Industry – better known as Foxconn in the west – is working on a “glass casing” for Apple, in a bid to replace the standard metal chassis. Taiwan’s Foxconn is a key supplier of metal chassis for Apple already, and aims to develop the new glass body to “boost weakening demand and to see off stiff competition from rivals”, according to a new report by Japan’s Nikkei news agency.
- All-glass design
- Wireless charging
- OLED/AMOLED display
- 5.8-inch screen
- A11 chip
- Intel 7360 LTE modem
- iOS 11 software

Unfortunately, analysts at KGI
Securities believe some of these new features – like the OLED display –
could be reserved for a select variant of the iPhone 8 Plus.
