The smartphone, tipped by some to arrive as the 'iPhone Edition' or
'iPhone X', will be Apple's 10th-anniversary smartphone and looks set to
be the first to debut wireless charging tech, an edge-to-edge AMOLED
display and an unusual vertical dual rear-facing camera. If rumours are
correct, the so-called 'Edition' will launch alongside the
less-impressive iPhone 7S and 7S Plus.
Release dateThe iPhone 8 will be officially unveiled on 12 September. Apple has sent out invites (below)
to a launch event in its newly-built Steve Jobs Theatre on its new
campus, where it's also expected to unveil the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus.
Naturally, Apple will stream the event on its website, and it's expected to kick off at 6pm UK time.
PriceIf it's anything like Apple's new MacBooks,
next year's iPhone will be more expensive than this year's release,
with some analysts claiming that the highest-spec model will be the
first iPhone to cost more than $1,000.
More recently, Twitter tipster Benjamin Geskin has claimed
that the entry-level 64GB iPhone 8 will fetch $999 (around £775), while
256GB and 512GB variants will fetch $1,099 (£850) and $1,199 (£930).
