Idk I don’t think the 8 will get OLED. I think they were talking about the regular phones and not the iPhone X.
Now what I think the 8 and 8 Plus will get is wireless charging, fAster SOC, fAster gpu, I think it will have higher resolution possibly but probably not. If it does maybe 2160 instead of 1080? Is that possible in LCD?
They gate (turn off parts) of the chip and dynamically clock them down to save power and equally they overclock (well, run above a frequency that could be sustained at least) for brief periods. They do these things to complete work as quickly as possible and return to low power modes as quickly as possible. They are tried and true methods of saving power.
The processor will be better but the rest won't.

I'm not sure if it will work out as bigger than the 7 + if it's using an 18:9 aspect ratio.
As Feenician mentioned, Intel used Turbo Boost.
The whole concept was called "Hurry Up and Get Idle." Use an Indy car, get there, and shut off the engine. Not a Toyota Yaris.
Cores don't really matter to me if it's dual, hexa, or octa. As long as the processor does well, that's all that matters. With Apple, there is very little doubt regarding processor performance. They make superb processors. Big. Little style is nice because it stresses cores less and less.
It is the same core count as the A10X, and that seems to be working well enough for the iPad Pro.
For the X to be priced starting at what the 7 is. They're taking the opportunity to let the soon to be lower 2 tiers rot and pull this "pro" bs tier like theyve done on the iPad.
Not happening this year, maybe next year iPhone 9 and 9+ will have the same design and features as the X.
I know, that's the problem. The year that I kind of need to upgrade, they pull this.
Honestly all I want is the iPhone 7 size with a dual camera. That's all I really want and I know they can do it, but they leverage it as a model differentiating feature. I hate this constant getting bigger junk.
From 9TO5MAC:
As far as RAM goes, Smith says the iPhone 8 will feature 2GB, while the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X will both feature 3GB. For comparison’s sake, the iPhone 7 Plus features 3GB of RAM and the iPhone 7 packs 2GB. As you can see, there’s not a huge difference in terms of RAM specs here but
In terms of camera technology, Smith says the iPhone X will feature a 12MP rear-facing camera with support for 4K video at 60 FPS and 1080p video at 240 FPS. As for the front camera, the device packs a 7MP camera with support for 1080p video at 30 FPS. It was originally speculated that the front camera would also support 4k video, but that doesn’t appear to be the case anymore.

Dang, it did?? I'm still on 5s and it's slow opening messages and maps. Annoyingly slow.
So how bad is the seven? I can hit hard with the hyperbole, so is that what you're doing, or did the 7 really slow down?
GSMArena is reporting,as a rumor, 3GB for 8 and 4GB for 8+

We won't know until the 12th
Slow down? Not Even close. The iPhone 7 run circles around other devices with the A10X processor and runs flawlessly on iOS 10 and even the beta on iOS 11 from reports. One of the most unforeseen and undiscussed features is the speed of the iPhone 7, which has an immense amount of performance.

This iPhone is going to be like when the iPhone 5 came out. A Huge leap in performance and features.
So looking forward to it!

Of course it is. 32Bit support is gone from Apple side.

But not The pattern expected for the A11 processor. What you're not factoring, is the A-10X was a significant improvement, but the A11 processor has been rumored to be a larger leap in terms of raw power. How that will be measured, is what I already indicated through Geekbench scores.
AR will consume it.
Think less of the new iphone as a phone, and start thinking of it more as a base station for an AR headset that is at the centre of your computing experience. Because that's what it is going to become, eventually. Ditto for the ipad.
Apple aren't building crazy powerful mobile processors purely to run traditional mobile applications. However even there, the concept of "race to sleep" means that a faster CPU in the same power envelope can get its work done and go to sleep sooner in order to save battery.
Machine Learning.
One example: the camera app will be able to recognise even more elements on the scene and focus on the right detail, or take multiple shots and find the best one with greater accuracy.
AR apps will need a lot of power to put even great levels of details in the scene, and games will be even better.
But you're right, the 7 is not slow and even my 6s is really fast in everyday tasks and if you're not interested in AR and games iPhone 8 or X won't behave any better than your current iPhone
