iPhone 8 Production May Start Earlier Than Usual

[Abazigal]

Wow that's a gorgeous concept though.
I like the "Touch Bar" at the bottom and a very small bezel.
Also wish Apple would allow a grid realignment that would let us choose if we want our apps in a row or in a honeycomb like the Apple Watch.
Something like this:

Good lord no.

I own the Apple Watch and hate the default shapeless blob of apps configuration.

If it has an unecessary new connector then I may stick with my 6+. I must have $200 worth of chargers and Lightning cables between my iPad and iPhone.

they're not introducing a Lightning replacement.

iPhone 8, please be better than all the other phones in the world. Thank you

I've been telling ^^ to everyone (friends, family, co-workers, etc) who ask me about  info and release dates for well over a year (when I actually realized that 2017 would be the 10th anniversary edition). It just makes sense. If they don't call it that, I'm going to be overwhelmingly disappointed. This is the year to get out of the naming rut and make a badass phone with a badass name to go along with it. I mean, (this is a question to everyone, not just OP) when someone asks you what iPhone you have, don't you just wanna be able to say, "It's an 'X'"?

But you'll have to pronaunce it "ten" not "X" for that to make sense

 

[Franshans]

lets hope the design will be far, far away from that ugly mockup and all those silly "bezel-free" desgins.
I want my bezels! Not too thick but also not too thin.

 

[MacBH928]

If they release them on July 2017 , I will be sure to wait until March 2018 to make sure I don't get any of the legendary half-pink/half-green screens.

[gnasher729]

Hope it will get USB-C! (i think)

Why? It will come with a cable that you plug into your phone when needed. And the expensive headphones that you bought for your iPhone 7 won't work with USB-C.

 

[M_Johnson]

Looking forward to see the design of the 8! Hopefully the change will be bigger than the change from the 6 to 7!

 

[Eadfrith]

Yesssss !!! Bring on the Leaks !!

MacRumors quote:

"Rumors suggest the iPhone 8 will include an edge-to-edge OLED display, perhaps with curved edges, with a glass backing, a deviation from the aluminum body used since the iPhone 4s. It's said to look like a single sheet of glass, with a Touch ID Home button built directly into the display."

Uh oh. Looks different from your predictions @Sunnysunnysingh. Time for a refesh.

Never going to happen!! Stop dreaming!! it's a "S" year (same design with some internal upgrades)

 

[WatchFromAfar]

If the rumours of three models are true (7s, 7s Plus and “Anniversary iPhone”) I can’t wait for all the bitching from people on Apple’s yearly upgrade program when they realise they can only upgrade to the 7s/7s Plus models and NOT the fancy expensive “Anniversary iPhone”

 

[BvizioN]

I do think Apple will release a new redesigned iPhone for the 10th anniversary, however I don't get this obsession people have with always wanting something that looks different, the iPhone 7 is a great looking phone.

I totally agree. Apple dos not make drastic design changes to their products (look at iPhones how little they has changed over the years design wise) But I still think (or hope) Apple would do a little more this year. Obviously peoples expectations are always hi-sky, that's why everyone gets disappointed initially, but later they learn to love the product.

Lol you can't seriously think that..

There's a reason they waited till redesigning the phone due to 10th anniversary

There will be 3 phones as rumours have stated..7s, 7s plus and 8

 

[sigma7]

I'm ready!

 

[dtrj787]

Can't wait for this to be released so that (maybe??) the SE's price will go down a little. Alternatively, if they would just offer them refurbished already.......

Sprint is offering the SE for FREE. Got a feeling that it's on it's way out in terms of support soon. It a few models back and Apple generally will stop pushing updates to force people forward.

The SE is not on its way out yet. It's only one model behind, being the same generation as the iPhone 6S. If anything, it has at least four more years of iOS updates before it'll be unsupported by Apple.

That render is ugly. The Samsung Galaxy 8 looks way better than this. Apple needs to step its game up.

May look good but Samsungs OS is terrible, Apple's IOS is much better (in my opinion) also it's not just how a device looks, as I said in a previous post, I don't see why people moan about Apple and other phone companies keeping the same design, personally I'm happy with the iPhone 7 Plus design. They will probably change it with the 8 tho.

 

[jonnysods]

I use them daily while doing web design and yes, they are perfect for that. . .I've not really had any problems hearing others' conversations. One thing I have noticed. . If you use them for phone calls or FaceTime, the battery life is not nearly as long as it is with music only.

Interesting. So the mic is a bit of a drain on it eh? Duly noted. Would it still last longer than 4 hours?

I care about the design of the phone inside and outside. Some people are okay with corners being cut. I am not one of those people.

 

[BaccaBossMC]

I hope the remove the camera bump, although it is still pictured here. The bump is ugly and should not be there. Google did it and still put a great camera there, so Apple should be able to too.

 

[oliversl]

It would the 7S, same design for 4 years. iPhone 8 comes in sep-2018.

 

[rGiskard]

I spent a total of $9.90 to buy two adapters for my 2016 MacBook Pro, which make it compatible with every existing hub, cable, and accessory I already owned for my 2013 Mac.

How is that relevant to the iDevice connector format?

 

[bigjnyc]

There is something beautiful when a screens edge just disappears into its environment, rather then seeing a bezel. When you hold it, it feels like you are holding the internet.

This x 100.... When I had the note 7 for a brief period of time I was amazed at the screen every time I held it up... It's hard to describe how cool it looks but I think you put it in perspective

DEAR GOD! I may have nightmares after seeing that! OUT! OUT YE DEMONS OF EVIL!!!!!
