Make no mistake: the iPhone 8 is still well over a year away from launch. But rumours are already arriving, so here’s everything we know about the iPhone 8, including the iPhone 8 release date, specs, features, and price.
A new analyst report out of China claims that Apple is planning to introduce wireless charging with the iPhone 8 next year.
Apple’s next iPhone is due to arrive in September 2016, but the rumour mill waits for no man. In fact, we've already heard reports that the iPhone 8's A11 chip design has been finalised, and that manufacturers are "retooling" their factories to build a boatload of OLED screens for the next iPhone. That’s why we’re already looking forward to 2017’s iPhone 8, and it seems we’re not the only ones.
Ming-Chi Kuo, a reputable industry analyst at KGI Securities, is already dropping bold claims about the iPhone 8. Perhaps the most interesting tip is that the phone will feature a new ‘all-glass design’. Another market analyst from Barclays recently speculated that the iPhone 8 could finally incorporate wireless charging, a feature previously missed on all Apple handsets to date.
But we don’t need to depend on analysts to get a good idea of what the iPhone 8 might look like. The smartphone industry is very predictable, so we’re pretty confident about what’s in store for Apple fans in 2017.
Here’s what to expect:
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:
- 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.
