Questionable Rumor Claims Apple Will Debut Two iPhones This Year, Not Three

Yes, but the integrated touchid, oled en 3d touch for oled will require quite different controllers en power management and requirements, so i think internals will differ in a lot of area' s, though.
[doublepost=1493209501][/doublepost]But please apple, for the gold, silver and rosegold coloured iphones 8: NO gold , rosegold or silver coloured glass on the back of the iphone, or on the front. Just use plain white or black glass backs, and just colour the alu and stainless steel frames. No distastefull samsung styling of the days of the s6/s7 that is just too tacky.
I would actually like a regular iphone 8 plus with the good old 16:9 5.5 inch display in the new design and shorter chins, that is a perhaps a little thicker. They could shave of about 4 mm of total lenght of the iphone 7 plus with keeping touchid on the front/lower chin.
I guess that is also going to happen to the so called 10.5 inch ipad pro in the same footprint as the 9.7 inch ipad pro. Smaller chins/bezels with the unused area above and below the homebutton " cut off" . So the lower chin will be just as high as the homebutton/touchid and the top chin in the same size, and shrink of the sidebezels. Their new look/design language: Same footprint , bigger screen or smaller footprint, same screensize. More compact...

Apple has never released a new iPhone along with an s version . MY prediction is that there will be no iPhone 8 until next year. This year we will only see a 7S.
Why? So all the reports about the delay are for next year?
I don' t think so....
This year there will be a release of an oled edition iphone. ( release.... but it will be a pain to get one, though) apple has never done that, that is true, they also never released an ipad pro/higher end /more expensive ipad before, they did that. They also updated their imacs each year, etc. They didn' t....
Times are changing....
Will I still have to connect my $ 200 headphones to my $ 900 iPhone via a crappy looking white little plastic adapter or will they re-introduce the headphone jack ?
I did not say that, but questionable rumor is not worthy of an attention unless it comes from reputable source or includes a leak.
Also what do you mean by "absolutely 100% validated rumours"? There is no such thing.
No ,there won' t be a headphone jack.
No ,apple won' t make a new 3.5 inch iphone.
No ,apple won' t make a new iphone 5 based design(perhaps for a newer se, but in doubt it).
No, touchid won' t be embedded in the apple logo.
I also dont think iphone 8 screen will extend all the way to the top with no bezel. The rendering with the OLED cut-out for the front earphone/cam/sensors will not work.
Even the s8 do not have cut round edges but uses a rounded overlay. It was mentioned that it was done this way to prevent screen aliasing (whatever that is). Considering the sharper cut needed for the iphone, it will unlikely to work. The other near full screen phones like c6/xiaomi max can't do it also.
So, I think some here will be in for some disappointment when the actual iphone 8 comes out wrt to the "bezelless"
