Presentation of iPhone 8 September 12, 18 00. Main and front cameras

The first thing you want to pay attention to is the design. Here Apple follows the general trend of making screen frames as inconspicuous as possible and expands the workspace. True, there is one nuance here. It is technically not so easy to create a continuous screen from edge to edge, so here we see a compromise in the form of a cutout at the top. It is where the front camera, speaker and sensors are located.

True, on the sides of this cutout there are places that look like ears. What exactly the benefit will be from them is still unclear. Based on some leaks, you can guess that this is where information from the status bar will be transferred - charge, signal and battery levels. At the same time, leaks reported that the color of the front panel will always be black so that the “pocket” does not stand out.

This is what the status bar might look like.

It is expected that the design will be very different from what we are already familiar with iPhone view. Largely thanks to the frameless display and increased work space. The size so far varies from 5.2 to 5.8 inches diagonally. The company abandons the aluminum body in favor of strong reinforced glass.

What screen does the iPhone 8 have?

By the way, iPhone 8 is the first Apple smartphone with an OLED display. This means higher contrast, more realistic colors and wider viewing angles. Plus, battery consumption will not be “horrible”.

What's wrong with the Home button and scanner on the iPhone 8?

There is an opinion that the “Home” button will be on-screen, and there will be no scanner at all, but this is a hypothesis. I wonder what decision the designers ultimately came to in the final sample.

Another new feature we are expecting is an iris scanner and facial recognition - as a new means of protecting the device.

About the iPhone 8 camera

One of the most important features of the device is the camera. According to available information, it will be dual, with optical stabilization in both modules and four times optical zoom.

The main difference from previous models is that the camera is located vertically, not horizontally. Insiders claim that this arrangement is necessary to support virtual and augmented reality, which can be worked with on new devices.

Processor, battery, memory iPhone 8

We know only one thing about the processor for sure - it will be the Apple A11 chip. They promise that it will be distinguished by its energy efficiency. It comes with a dual L-shaped battery with a total capacity of 2700 mAh and 3 GB random access memory. Yes, by the way, the RAM has not been increased compared to the iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone 7 had one gigabyte less. There is also an opinion that there will still be 4 GB of RAM, but this is not at all certain. But the built-in memory breaks records, the maximum volume will reach 512 GB.

Estimated size iPhone 8 compared to last year's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Waterproof iPhone 8

Now with the new iPhone you can easily take a bath in the bath, because finally the smartphone will be protected according to the IP68 standard, which allows immersion under water. The seventh iPhones are weaker in this regard; they use the IP67 standard, which allows short-term contact with water.

Wireless charging iPhone 8

The iPhone itself should receive wireless charging functionality, but a charging dock is unlikely to be included in the package.

In addition to wireless, iPhone 8 and other smartphones in the series will receive fast wired charging. The new “feature” will allow you to charge the device even with a large battery in just an hour and a half.

What will be shown at the Apple presentation?

First of all, new smartphones: iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, which is commonly called the “eighth”. Apparently, we won’t see the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus - in 2017, Apple is celebrating the anniversary of its most popular device, so they decided to abandon the usual scheme.

In addition to iPhones, the presentation will most likely show a new model of Apple Watch 3, wireless headphones AirPods 2, iPod Touch 7 and iOS 11.

What's new in iPhone 8?

New Apple smartphones are equipped with the new generation A11 processor and use new design- the iPhone 8 (or iPhone X) is expected to have a screen that covers the entire front panel, with the exception of a small “overflow” at the top edge.

Because of this, the new iPhone will not have a “Home” button; it will be replaced by an on-screen Home, which will be able to perceive not only clicks, but also gestures. As you know, Apple abandoned the physical button back in the iPhone 7; in the current model, under the screen there is a round platform with a fingerprint sensor, pressing which simulates the Taptic Engine vibration motor.

The iPhone 8 will also not have a fingerprint sensor or a headphone jack. The ultrasonic facial recognition system of the owner is rumored to be responsible for safe unlocking.

The smartphone promises to revolutionize and lead the market mobile devices first class, users can expect new advanced features and improved design.

Next year, Apple's line of flagships celebrates a milestone: it marks 10 years since the release of the first generation iPhone. The Cupertino company plans to celebrate this event on a large scale.

There is less than a year left before the start of sales of the Apple iPhone 8, the scale and plans of the company can only be imagined, the Internet is already full of rumors about the new flagship model. Many analysts are predicting a transition to Oled technology, and this fact is quite real.

This will allow the iPhone 8 to become much thinner, more convenient and lighter than its predecessors; new technologies will allow it to consume less energy, with significantly greater graphics performance and image quality.

Appearance, design of iPhone 8

According to leading analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, in 2017 Apple will abandon the usual aluminum so that the new flagship model is distinguishable from its predecessors.

Although, if you consider that the lid will be made of glass Gorilla Glass latest generation, there is no need to worry about durability. New OLED panels will reduce the thickness and weight of the device, which will allow the introduction of glass.

The same opinion is shared by Allen Horng, head of the Catcher Technology holding center, which is the official supplier Apple products. Both analysts are confident that one of the models will definitely receive a glass case, or rather its rear insert.

According to our estimates, Apple will once again release two versions of the flagship, but there is no official data on the size of the displays and the materials the case will be made of. It's possible that Apple will keep the usual 4.7 and 5.5-inch models, but if you take into account the company's grandiose plans, you can count on a complete redesign.

iPhone 8 Specifications

The company plans to completely update the iPhone 8 hardware, equipping the flagship with an Apple A11 processor made with 10nm technology. This will improve performance and reduce power consumption.

The device will receive a long-distance wireless charging function, and a new biometric function that allows you to protect your smartphone - a retinal scanner and facial contours.

Screen (Display) iPhone 8

Some reputable foreign analysts suggest that the iPhone 8 will be equipped with an OLED display; in 2016, Apple entered into an agreement with South Korean competitor Samsung to produce the corresponding parts for eighth-generation smartphones. The timing of the release of the device itself depends on the settings of the subtleties of the production process.

As you know, screens of this quality do not need the backlight function used in earlier iPhone models, this innovation will make smartphones lighter and thinner.

In addition, OLED displays are flexible, which could make it possible to create an iPhone 8 with a curved screen.

The screens of the Korean giant are currently the highest contrast on the market, have the best viewing angle, and lower power consumption. But this technology also has its disadvantages, namely a shorter service life than LCD panels.

There are rumors that the younger model of the eighth iPhone will receive a 5.8-inch display instead of the usual 5.5 inches.

A11 processor and M11 coprocessor

The production of new chips will be carried out by TSMC as before; at the end of 2016, the corporation completed the process of setting up 10-nanometer technology.

These chips will become an integral part of the flagship, significantly increasing its performance while consuming less power, and is scheduled to be delivered to markets in the spring of 2017.

Main and front cameras

In , the company has completely redesigned and improved the photography processes, making the flagship camera of the junior model the best on the market, and photographs taken by the plus model are equated by many to the quality of expensive DSLRs.

Of course, this technology has a downside, the further away it is located Charger from the flagship itself, the longer the charging process will be. Back in 2015, Apple assembled a whole staff of engineers who work tirelessly on this technology.

Model range, prefix "S" or "Pro"

According to yet unconfirmed information, in 2017 Apple will move away from the usual “S” prefix to the seventh model, new flagship will be called iPhone 8.

The latest iPhone mobile series will look like this:

• iPhone 6S and iPhone 6s Plus updated in 2016 with 32, 64, 128 GB of memory, the 16 GB version has been discontinued.
• 2016 models iPhone of the year 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (Pro) with 32, 64, 128, 256 GB of memory,
