The iPhone 8 is the spectacular sequel to the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7S . On this page you will find everything about the device, the new features and the release. Below you will find the most important facts and read all you need to know.
This page is regularly expanded with new information. As soon as we know more, you will first read it on iPhoned.
In September, the official release of the iPhone 8 will also be available. However, since the unveiling of iOS 11 and Apple's own leaked information, we have encountered numerous innovations and rumors. At the time of writing, the new iPhone has not yet been revealed, which is likely to happen during a special event in early September.
We can expect this from the iPhone 8
The rumor flow around the iPhone 8 came noticeably early on. Even before the iPhone 7 was unveiled, the first stories about the 8 opened up. An analyst soon predicted that Apple would first hit the S Series and after 2017, iPhone 7 would immediately release the new iPhone by 2017.
This has two reasons. First of all, Apple did not get a sales record for the first time in 2016. iPhones in the S Series are often less popular because they look different and make less prominent improvements. Maybe it's smarter for Apple to get through the iPhone 8 right away. However, in addition to the (extra pricey) iPhone 8, an iPhone 7S would appear. This is cheaper, but also seems more on the iPhone last year.
On the other hand, Apple seems to have a great list of major changes in the 2017 model. After the relatively little innovative iPhone 7, Apple will take major steps this year. For example, a completely new enclosure, and Apple wants to first equip the iPhone with an oled display . Other rumors talk about wireless charging, the disappearance of the home button and face recognition. Here you can read more on this page.
The latest iPhone 8 price rumors
According to the latest rumors, the iPhone 8 price would start from a thousand dollars. You get the 64GB model at home, which means you pay more for the 256GB and 528GB model. About the euro nothing is known yet, but to give you an estimate, we set the starting price of a thousand dollars next to the iPhone prices last year. Then we determined the European prices on the basis of that. If the iPhone costs 8 thousand dollars, this is expected to be Euro prices:
§ iPhone 8 64GB: 999 dollars → 1139 euros
§ iPhone 8 256GB: $ 1099 → 1249 euros
§ iPhone 8 512GB: $ 1199 → 1359 euros
What you need to know if you are going to buy an iPhone 8
Do you already know that you're going to get an iPhone 8? Then there are a few things you can prepare yourself for. On our special iPhone 8 purchase page, you'll find practical tips on buying an iPhone 8 with subscription , or purchasing a loose iPhone 8 . Because Apple did not officially reveal the phone at the time of writing, it is questionable whether the Netherlands is in the first group of countries. If this is not the case, you are likely to buy the iPhone 8 in Germany .
We must also take into account serious shortcomings according to earlier rumors. Due to the amount of new technologies, production would be relatively slow, which would lead to limited inventory until the beginning of 2018. On iPhoned, we will keep you posted on all iPhone 8 pre-order info. That way, you're sure to be in the queue to get a copy.
iPhone 8 too expensive? This is the iPhone 7S
With an entry price of around a thousand euros, the iPhone 8 is the most expensive iPhone Apple will ever bring. We can therefore imagine that this is too expensive for some people. Also, the company from Cupertino seems to see this and, on September 12, it presents the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus with iPhone 8 . Although these two do not get the same new design, it seems to be worthwhile upgrades. Thus, both devices can be charged wirelessly and both the 7S and 7S Plus are equipped with the new A11 chip and 3 GB of working memory. This makes them a lot faster and more reliable than last year's iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Because the S versions look comparable to their predecessors, you can assume a similar price.
When is the iPhone 8 release?
The big question is when Apple presents the new iPhone and when we can buy one. The rumors about the iPhone 8 release follow up at a rapid pace, and some things are happening. For example, Apple would unveil the device with the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus in September, like the Cupertino company that has been doing for years. Then the three new devices will be in stores a week later. However, please note that there are serious deficiencies, as the amount of new features and techniques has reportedly caused production problems.
Apple would release the iPhone 8 in three colors this year: silver, black and the new blush gold. This color (as you can see in the picture below) appears to be a blend between gold and rose gold.
iPhone 8: The innovations in a row
Although the iPhone 8 has not yet been officially revealed, we can figure out all the rumors of rumors (and Apple's own leaked info) about the innovations that the phone introduces. We are still fighting for the poor, but in the list below we have put together the most persistent and credible features. Is it enough for you to order the new iPhone on day one?
Refreshed screen with oled panel
Apple has joined hands with Samsung to make the iPhone 8 oled screens. This new screening technology is the logical successor to the LCD displays that Apple now uses for the iPhone. Oled is more energy efficient, better flexible and shows more beautiful black tones.
The company is also in touch with Chinese BOE Technology to produce additional oled screens. Due to the amount and reliability of the rumors, it is likely that the iPhone 8 will get such a screen. Below we have listed the reasons why that is good news.
Completely new design
We had already hoped for the iPhone 7, but this year Apple will finally give the iPhone a new design. That also has a practical reason. By giving the iPhone 8 a glass back, the device can charge wirelessly. In addition, the oled screen already creates a new face. The front edge can therefore be completely out of a screen, thus eliminating the sharp screen edges at the top and bottom. This also means that the classic home button disappears.
Wireless charging
A feature that iPhone users have been asking for years is charging wirelessly . Charging your phone without cable sounds futuristic, but is something Android devices have been able to do for years. So the big question is how Apple wants to make this feature feel like new.
One of the possibilities is that Apple is committed to making wireless charging longer. This would allow you to be able to power the device in theory when you enter the living room. Additionally, wireless charging is useful because you do not need the Lightning port to charge the battery again. This allows you to listen and listen to music simultaneously.
Face Recognition
Due to losing the home button, Apple had to find a way to process the Touch ID sensor elsewhere. Initially, the intention was to stop the fingerprint sensor under the display, but this would not have been successful. Instead, the company makes a drastic decision: Touch ID disappears and allows for face recognition.
Through the firmware of the Home Pod speaker we have already come to know something about this. For example, the iPhone 8 can recognize a face and unlock it or open an app based on it. The dual camera lens allows a 3D scan of a face to be made, which benefits safety. Also, the lens would have a large angle, allowing a face to be scanned if the iPhone is still on the table. We spoke with a face recognition expert to discover how this technique works and what the pros and cons are.
New possibilities with augmented reality
Apple's new augmented reality platform ARKit is already a big success in the run-up to iOS 11. With the technology, the iPhone camera works with the software so that digital objects can be displayed in the real world. This also works on older iPhones, but because the iPhone 8 gets specially enhanced camera lenses, this would be the ultimate way to use all ARKit apps . For example, the camera lens is turned a quarterback on the backside and there is a dual camera on the front.
Patents and HomePod software provide renewal fees
By the end of 2016 several patents were published that confirm that Apple is investigating an iPhone without screen edges. We also learned that Apple was looking for a way to process the Touch ID sensor on the screen. The light sensor can also be processed in a smart way with the various screen layers. This makes it ever more likely that Apple's next phone has a screen without large edges on the top and bottom.
However, leaked firmware information for the HomePod speaker would reveal that Apple is depriving a fingerprint scanner on the screen. No clues were found for this. There may be a virtual home button on the screen , which can be hidden if the situation asks for it. This button can also reduce and enlarge itself.
Also, Apple would play the idea to add a third iPhone version . In addition to an iPhone 7S and 7S Plus, there is an additional model that has a screen with curved edges for the first time. Comparable with Samsung's Galaxy Edge series, which has curved screen edges for a number of years. Will this be the iPhone Pro that was discussed before?
Additionally, rumors about a premium iPhone. It would be the only one to get a stainless steel frame together with a glass back. The information is from Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst who has been considered very reliable for years when it comes to Apple rumors.
Does Apple make three models in 2017?
This coming fall, we finally know what Apple's precise plans are. Does the company still charge the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus, followed by the iPhone 8? Based on recent rumors, the latter is the most expensive of the three, showing what Apple has in the field of technical innovation. With it's oled display, wireless charging and a fingerprint scanner processed this is the blueprint for the iPhone of the future.
