AT A GLANCE

Apple has a major iPhone redesign
planned for 2017, with a glass body
and edge-to-edge OLED display that
includes an integrated Touch ID
fingerprint sensor and front-facing
camera. The new iPhone may be
sold alongside upgraded (but
standard) 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhones.
2017 will mark the 10th anniversary of
the iPhone and Apple has something
major planned to celebrate the occasion.

We’ve got several months to go until
the launch of the iPhone 8, but because
of Apple’s ambitious plans for the
device, there are already an abundance
of rumors hinting at the impressive
features coming in the 2017 iPhone.

Apple is rumored to be testing more
than 10 prototype iPhone models , so it’s
not entirely clear what we’re going to
see, and because there are so many test
devices in play, rumors are also
conflicting and murky at this time.

Rumors suggest it’s going to be a
radical redesign, with an edge-to-edge
display that does away with the top and
bottom bezels where features like the
Touch ID fingerprint sensor and the
front-facing camera are housed. Instead,
most rumors suggest Touch ID may be
built directly into the display,
meaning there will be no Home button
An alleged leaked design schematic has
suggested that instead of placing the
Touch ID fingerprint sensor under the
glass, it could be located at the back of
the iPhone, but it’s not yet clear if this
schematic is indicative of the final design
of the OLED iPhone.

With an edge-to-edge design, the iPhone
8 may be similar in size to the 4.7-inch
iPhone, but with a display the size of the
5.5-inch iPhone. Rumors suggest it will
feature a 5.8-inch display with 5.15
inches of usable area, with the rest
dedicated to virtual buttons that will
replace the existing Home button.
The display itself is said to be flexible
plastic OLED rather than an LCD,
allowing Apple to introduce a thinner
device that consumes less power and
offers a better display with higher
contrast ratio and more true to life
colors. It may also feature edges that
are curved on both sides like the
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but rumors are
unclear on this point , and it’s looking
more like it will have the same slightly
curved 2.5D display that’s similar to the
display used in the iPhone 7.

As for the body, rumors suggest Apple is
finally going to move away from the
aluminum used in the iPhone 5, 5s, 6,
6s, 7, and SE, instead re-adopting a
glass body that’s similar to the body
that was used in the iPhone 4. At least
one iPhone model coming in 2017 will
use a glass body, according to Apple
supplier Catcher Technology, and
according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the
glass will be built around an aluminum or
stainless steel frame.

Like the iPhone 7, the iPhone 8 is
expected to be water resistant , but it
may have an improved IP68 water
resistance rating. It will continue to be
able to hold up to rain, splashes, and
brief submersion in water. Instead of a
Lightning port, the iPhone 8 could adopt
a USB-C port , but rumors disagree on
this point.

Inside, the iPhone 8 is expected to have
a 10-nanometer A11 chip that will be
both faster and more efficient, plus
rumors suggest it could also include
features like wireless charging and
biometric additions like iris, facial, or
gesture recognition. In higher-end
models with a dual-lens camera, both
lenses are expected to feature optical
image stabilization, and there’s a
possibility at least one model could
feature a vertical dual camera.

The iPhone 8’s front-facing camera may
include 3D sensing capabilities that use
technology by PrimeSense, allowing it to
find the location and depth of objects in
front of it, perhaps enabling facial and iris
recognition.

Apple is said to be planning to position
the OLED iPhone 8 as a ~5-inch
“premium” model that will perhaps be
sold alongside standard 4.7 and 5.5-inch
iPhone models with traditional LCD
screens.

All three models may include glass
bodies and wireless charging (though
rumors disagree on this point), but it is
unclear if the two LCD models will
feature the same edge-to-edge display
rumored for the higher-end device and
what differentiating features will be
included. Rumors suggest the OLED
iPhone is going to be pricy, with multiple
rumors referring to it as “premium” and
one rumor suggesting it could sell for
upwards of $1,000 , which is a good deal
more expensive than previous iPhones.
Other rumors don’t quite agree, though,
so it could be closer in price to the
iPhone 7 Pluse.

iPhone 8 is still under development
and will likely launch in the fall of 2017,
and in the months ahead of its launch,
we’ll undoubtedly learn more about the
specs of the device.
Part Leaks and
Schematics
Early iPhone 8 design schematics
surfaced in April, pointing towards a
device that’s a quite a bit different than
rumors have indicated.

The device in the rendering, which
appears to be from the Engineering
Verification Testing stage of iPhone
development, features an almost edge-
to-edge display with slim bezels at the
top and the bottom, along with a
vertical dual camera and a Touch ID
fingerprint sensor located at the back of
the device.

The rendering also suggests the device
in the rendering is 8.6mm thick, a good
deal thicker than the 7.1mm iPhone 7.
A vertical dual camera and a Touch ID
fingerprint sensor built into the iPhone
8’s casing are rumors that we’ve only
heard once before, and Apple was
rumored to be testing as many as 12
iPhone 8 prototypes, so it’s possible this
is not representative of the final design
of the device.

Most rumors suggest Apple is planning
to put the Touch ID fingerprint
under the display of the device, but
there have also been hints that Apple is
struggling with that particular design, so
it’s also possible Apple was forced to
relocate the Touch ID sensor to the rear
of the iPhone 8.

Given the mixed information, it’s not
clear if this is the device we’ll see in the
fall, but Apple’s design plans should
become clearer as a release date
approaches and we see more design
details and part leaks.

NAMING

Following Apple’s standard naming
scheme, with a numeric increase during
even years to mark external design
changes and an “S” increase during odd
years to denote internal feature updates
only, the 2017 iPhone would be called
the “iPhone 7s.”

Given the major changes Apple plans to
introduce to the iPhone in 2017, it
seems unlikely the device will receive an
“S” name, so there’s a good chance
Apple may decide to skip directly to the
next full number, naming the 2017
iPhone the iPhone 8.
2007 – iPhone
2008 – iPhone 3G
2009 – iPhone 3GS
2010 – iPhone 4 (new design)
2011 – iPhone 4s
2012 – iPhone 5 (new design)
2013 – iPhone 5s
2014 – iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (new
design)
2015 – iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
2016 – iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
2017 – iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 8 is a tentative name for the
device — it has not yet been confirmed
by Apple — but it seems to be the most
logical choice for a major update.

There’s always the possibility Apple will
call it something else or make 2017 the
year it moves away from a numbered
iPhone naming scheme.

Work on the 2017 iPhone is said to be
taking place in Israel, and one report
suggests employees at the facility are
calling the device “iPhone 8,” but it
continues to be unclear as to whether
that’s the official name Apple will go
with.

Apple is also rumored to be planning to
produce a total of three iPhone models
in 2017, further confusing the potential
naming scheme. As two these devices
could perhaps be similar in style to the
existing iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, sold
alongside the flagship OLED model,
some rumors suggest they could be
called the “iPhone 7s” and an “iPhone 7s
Plus.” In that case, we’d have an iPhone
7s, and iPhone 7s Plus, and an iPhone 8
or some other name like iPhone X or
iPhone Pro.

DESIGN

For the iPhone 8, Apple is rumored to be
planning to move away from the
aluminum body that it’s been using since
2012 in an effort to differentiate the
iPhone from the devices that have come
before it. Apple is expected to instead
re-adopt the glass-backed body last used
for the iPhone 4s. Glass is more fragile
and heavier than aluminum, but many
advances have been made in glass
technology and materials like Gorilla
Glass are sturdier than ever, which ma
help prevent breakage.

Multiple rumors have suggested there
will be three versions of the iPhone: a
“premium” OLED model and two
standard LCD devices, with sizes that
may include 4.7, 5.8 inches (OLED), and
5.5 inches. While one model (the high-
end OLED device) will feature a glass
body, rumors disagree on what the other
two models will be made from.

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-
Chi Kuo, who has shared several
accurate rumors about Apple’s
plans in the past, all three iPhones will
feature the same glass-bodied design,
with glass instead of aluminum used for
the body of the device. Kuo also
believes a stainless steel frame will be
used in the higher-end iPhone, while
less expensive models may get an
aluminum frame, but he believes all
three models will use glass.

DigiTimes, citing sources within the
Taiwanese supply chain, has also
predicted Apple will adopt a glass body
with a stainless steel frame for improved
sturdiness in the iPhone 8. The iPhone 4
and 4s, made with a glass back, also
used a stainless steel frame.

The iPhone 4, introduced in 2010
Japanese site Nikkei also believes Apple
will use glass for all three of the iPhones
that are in development, but other
sources have suggested only one — the
OLED model — will have a glass body,
while others continue to use an
aluminum body.

The CEO of Apple supplier Catcher
Technology, Allen Horng , has said “only
one model” will adopt a glass casing in
2017, suggesting other non-glass
iPhones are in the works. Japanese site
Mac Otakara has suggested Apple will
sell a 4.7 and 5.5-inch aluminum
“iPhone 7s” and “iPhone 7 Plus” with a
design that’s largely unchanged from the
iPhone 7 with the exception of a new
red color option, and DigiTimes predicts
a 4.7-inch “iPhone 7s” with an aluminum
body to be sold alongside a 5.8-inch
OLED iPhone with a glass body and a
5.5-inch model of an unspecified
material.

There are two possible outcomes based
on the rumors we’re hearing: Either we
get three iPhones with glass bodies and
wireless charging, with extra features to
set the OLED model apart from the
standard models, or we get a single
OLED model with a glass body sold
alongside two standard aluminum
devices.
Size wise, while the OLED iPhone will
use a larger display panel because it
includes no bezels, it may be similar in
size to the 4.7-inch iPhone. Apple is also
said to be planning to sell a standard
4.7-inch iPhone and a larger 5.5-inch
iPhone.

WATER RESISTANCE

The iPhone 8 may feature an IP68 water
resistance rating , an improvement over
the IP67 certification earned by the
iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus. Like the
Galaxy S7, which is also IP68 certified,
the iPhone 8 might be able to withstand
1.5 meters of water for up to 30
minutes while also offering full dust
protection.

That means it will continue to hold up to
splashes and brief immersion in water,
but customers should still make an effort
to avoid water as Apple’s iPhone 7
warranty does not cover water damage
and it’s likely the iPhone 8 warranty will
also exclude water damage.

MOCKUPS AND CONCEPTS

It’s too early for iPhone 8 part leaks, and
we’ve only seen one alleged iPhone 8
schematic, but many designers have
made mockups and concepts imagining
what the iPhone 8 might look like based
on current rumors.
