Facial recognition in addition to fingerprint scanner. Laser sensor for gesture recognition. Find the best Apple deals. When is the i. Phone 8 release date? Phone 8 launch date: September 2. The latest rumours say that Apple is struggling to develop two of the major features for the i. Phone 8, and this could delay it by at least two months from the expected release in September.

First, a report by Mac. Rumours says that one Hong Kong- based firm thinks the Touch ID will move to the back of the phone. Supposedly leaked images (which you'll find later in this article) also show this, but if true it means there won't be the breakthrough fingerprint scanner that works through the screen that we'd heard about in earlier rumours. Also, there are reported production delays with the anticipated glass OLED screen which mean it could be tricky to get hold of an i. Phone 8 in 2. 01.

According to analysts at Deutsche Bank, . Following tradition it should actually be the i. Phone 7s, but other sources have speculated on simply 'i. Phone' and 'i. Phone X' or 'i. Phone Edition'. Originally there was talk that the 'i. Phone Edition' could be a special anniversary edition announced alongside the i.

Phone 7s and 7s Plus, but now it seems fairly obvious only two i. Phones will be announced. How much will the i. Phone 8 cost in the UK? The i. Phone 7 price jumped up to . However, the 'anniversary' model's bill of materials (or BOM as it's called) will be a lot higher because of the OLED screen and supposed 3. D camera system. UBS analyst Steven Milunovich reckons even the 6.

GB model could cost $8. GB version will be the first i. Phone to cost four figures at $1. At least one other report claims it will be $1,0. US. Since UK prices are generally the same as US prices (bearing in mind the US figures don't include tax) we would expect those to translate to . Could we see the biggest queues ever? A combination of design and hardware changes will make the i.

Phone 8 the most radical new i. Phone to date, if we are to go by the rumours and leaks. Instead of listing every leak here, we're going to stick to the biggest and most important ones and point out what's been leaked multiple times, making them more likely to be true. Design. BGR claims to have the world exclusive on what the i. Like A Boss. Phone 8 will look like in real life. The photos are, however, a mockup rather than the real thing.

See what you make of a couple of the shots. The technical drawing below has been leaked by @On.

Leaks and appears to confirm what other leaks have shown: Apple is rotating the camera assembly (from the i. Phone 7 Plus) 9. 0 degrees so it's vertical. The left- hand image shows the front of the device with thin bezels, a big screen- to- body ratio and no physical home button. The only break in the screen a the slot at the top for the earpiece. Below is a render from /LEAKS which is based on the images above.

Yet another analyst has weighed in on the situation and predicts that the i. Phone 8 will have an edge- to- edge display, dual- lens cameras, better waterproofing, enhanced speakers and a free pair of Air. Pods. When it comes to the 7. S models, they will reportedly use glass rear covers.

Screen. 5. 8in. 28. OLED technology. A key element that's been leaked over and over again is that Apple will switch to OLED technology for the 2. Phone - like the Samsung Galaxy S7 - rather than the traditional IPS tech Apple has used previously. This would primarily mean better contrast and colours. Probably more interesting, and more obvious, is that the i.

Phone 8 will have a larger 5. It will be 'edge- to- edge' and slightly curved so Apple's comparatively chunky bezels might soon be history. Note the 'slightly' in that description: we're not about to see a curved screen in the same sense as that on the Galaxy S8.

However, the patent below suggests we might. It also points towards an integrated home button. The OLED screen looks like a dead cert as Apple has reportedly ordered 7. Samsung. However, it also says that the OLED model will be 5. LCD technology without curves. The touted resolution is 2. Phone. Apparently, a deal for Samsung to produces the screens has been reached.

It more unclear whether the screen will be curved at the sides in a similar way to the Galaxy S7 edge, with conflicting reports on the subject. The most likely outcome seems to be a subtle curve that doesn't add any extra functionality.

This concept image via Conceptsi. Phone shows what an edge- to- edge OLED display i. Phone might look like if it has literally no bezels. A more recent video from the same source seems much more believable, however, showing a very slim bezel top and bottom.

This video is in line with other reports of what is said to be Apple's final design. Phone 8 Touch ID home button. A huge change needs to be made to the 2.

Phone in order for the screen to get a lot bigger without the size of the handset increasing. While others put fingerprint scanners on the back or even the side, Apple has another solution. If rumours are true, the i. Phone 8 will have the Touch ID sensor embedded into the screen.

It's possible there will be a 'function area' at the bottom of the screen where this is housed and acts slightly like the Touch Bar on the Mac. Book Pro. However, the latest leak from i. Drop News claims that a source who spoke with a Foxconn employee (the company which manufactures the i. Mankracht: Part 3. Phone for Apple) said that the Touch ID will be moved to the back, just like Huawei's phones.

Apple has reportedly been having difficulty with this integrated fingerprint scanner, so this may be a workaround for now. Here's a concept image, which also shows a vertical dual- camera arrangement. The follow render from Engadget also shows a very similar design making use of a glass back and the same virtical camera arrangement.

If you're thinking this sounds a bit far fetched then we have some proof that it can be done via a company called Goodix. It's biometric technology is already being used in numbers of devices from the likes of Huawei, Xiaomi, Asus and LG. We met up with the Chinese company at MWC where it showed off a working example of a fingerprint sensor integrated into an AMOLED display - a world first and it seemed to operate very well, just like a dedicated sensor. Goodix wasn't able to share any clients with us but did say we could expect to see devices with this technology this year.

Via Tech. Times, he says that Apple will make a few power- management tweaks to enable the battery to be charged faster when using a Lightning cable. Phone 8 all- glass design. Jony Ive has wanted to introduce an i. Phone which resembles a single sheet of glass for a long time and the 2. Phone could be the one.

It's rumoured that at least one i. Phone in 2. 01. 7 will use a glass body, according to Apple supplier Catcher Technology. Glass on the front and back would make it like a hugely updated version of the i. Phone 4. S. This, combined with the rumour that the i. Phone 8 will sport an edge- to- edge OLED screen makes things rather interesting. Allen Horng, chairman and chief executive of Catcher Technology, a key supplier said: . Although Foxconn - the manufacturer of i.

Phones in China - has been experimenting with building a glass chassis for around a year, it is likely too early to put it into mass production. Current tooling is all for aluminium chassis and that's where the expertise and investment is.

A switch to glass - or ceramic or some other material - would be such a massive change that there would be far more leaks backing up these rumours. Put simply, we don't believe that the i. Phone 8 will be an all- glass machine, and i. Drop News's report also refers to this: . Apple’s current i. Phone Edition prototype features a . Apple’s decision to switch to metal over glass was authorised due to the tendency glass has to shatter when dropped.

He says it will also be more secure, which could lead to more companies - including banks - supporting Apple Pay. This theory is backed up by Kuo of KGI Securities whose latest report, via 9to.

Mac, says Apple will put an enhanced front camera and an IR sensor in order to build up a 3. D model of the user's face.

A patent filed by Apple shows that the firm is looking into depth maps for smart facial detection. It's based on infrared tracking and can detect how close or distant someone is. Whether or not it will be part of the i. Phone 8 remains to be seen but it seems unlikely with the focus on the 3. D camera mentioned above, but that's not to say this can't be a feature as well. The Japanese site claims the smartphone will come in an additional red colour which will join the existing Black, Jet Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold options. We now know that a red version of the i.

Phone 7 and 7 Plus was announced in March 2. Apple's 1. 0- year partnership with AIDs charity (RED). It is not known whether this colour will be a permanent feature in Apple's i. Phone line- up, or whether the source had simply got the wrong i.
