The story of honey is older than most of us realize: an 8,000-year-old cave painting in Spain depicted honey harvesting, and it's been used for food—and for medicine—all over the world ever since.
But honey isn't about humans. It's the natural product made from bees, one of our planet's most important animals. Honey bees visit millions of blossoms in their lifetimes, making pollination of plants possible and collecting nectar to bring back to the hive
Lucky for us, bees make more honey than their colony needs, and beekeepers remove the excess and bottle it. It’s delicious, yes, but honey has more to offer than just sweet flavor for tea or on top of yogurt. According to nutrition expert Dana Angelo White, MS, RD, honey packs plenty of powerful nutritional perks.
Natural Cough Suppressant
Honey has been used for centuries to help alleviate symptoms of the common cold, and now research confirms this approach for children ages one and older. According to Angelo White, honey is an effective and natural alternative to over-the-counter cough medicine. A spoonful of honey can help relieve the irritation, though it’s important to note that time is the most important healer of a sore throat.
Key Ingredient For Sports Nutrition
Honey is a natural source of carbohydrates, providing 17 grams per tablespoon. This is ideal for fueling muscles, says Angelo White. Carbohydrates are the primary fuel the body uses, and honey can help maintain muscle glycogen. This is effectively stored energy for muscles, which gives athletes a boost in performance when they need it most. Honey can also be used as part of exercise recovery meals and snacks to replenish tired muscles and energy stores following a workout.

The buzz around Nokia-branded TVs coming to India has been prevalent since a month or so and now we have the official date of its launch. The Nokia-branded TVs will be launched in the country on December 5 in partnership with Walmart backed-e-commerce major Flipkart, which will be the exclusive seller for the new product category from Nokia .

This partnership between Nokia and Flipkart was announced earlier in November. Under the partnership, the e-tailer will facilitate manufacturing and end-to-end sales of Nokia-branded TV. The first Nokia-branded TV will feature sound quality powered by audio brand, JBL. “The partnership is backed by Flipkart’s consumer insights, which found that poor sound quality and experience is a major pain point for customers purchasing televisions,” said the company in a press statement.

Last week, it was suggested that Nokia will launch a TV in 50 inch-plus size. It is likely to sport 4K ultra-HD panel. The LED TV is said to run on Android 9.0 operating system and support Google Play Store. The same week also saw certification of the Nokia TV from Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for a Nokia TV with model number 55CAUHDN. The BIS certification confirms that the TV will be of 55-inch size.

As per online reports, Nokia smart TV will come with Intelligent Dimming technology. The technology is said to result in better contrast and deep Black levels. In other words, it optimises picture contrast quality in real time to offer better contrast.

Last week, the company announced on Twitter that it is going to launch a new phone in December this year. The company, however, did not reveal the name of the upcoming device. According to some online reports, it is expected that the firm may launch Nokia 8.2. The speculation is based on the last year’s December 5 event where the company unveiled Nokia 8.1.

People who increased their red meat intake over 8 years had a higher death risk in the following 8 years than people whose meat intake stayed the same. Conversely, decreasing meat intake and replacing it with more healthful alternatives reduced death risk.


Eating red meat can raise the risk of premature death.


These are the main takeaways of new research that investigators have just published in the journal The BMJ . Yan Zheng, a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, is the first author of the paper.



Frank Hu, Fredrick J. Stare Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology and chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, MA, is the senior author of the study.


Prof. Zheng and colleagues used data that was available from the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.


In total, the researchers examined 53,553 women and 27,916 men who had no cardiovascular disease or cancer at the start of the study.


The team examined whether changes in red meat intake in 1986–1994 correlated with mortality risk in the subsequent 8 years, covering 1994–2002.


They also looked at whether changes in red meat intake between 1994–2002 predicted mortality risk between 2002–2010.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone range will be unveiled on Wednesday February 20, 2019 at the Galaxy Unpacked events in London and San Francisco. Online pre-orders for the devices are widely-tipped to go live seconds after the curtains close on the presentations, although the new S10 handsets won't be available in stores worldwide until March 8, 2019.
Ahead of the hotly-anticipated unveil, Samsung mobile chief DJ Koh has hinted that the upcoming Galaxy S10 range will feature "very significant" design changes, and “amazing” new colours. So, it sounds like there's a lot to look forward to with the next iteration of the flagship Galaxy S series.
Folding Samsung Galaxy X release date, price, leaks, 5G
Of course, that makes a lot of sense given that this new Samsung-branded smartphone will mark the
tenth anniversary of the wildly-successful range.
Like the iPhone X, which signalled the tenth anniversary of Apple's popular smartphone range, we not only expect Galaxy S10 to boast a new industrial design, but a steep increase in price, too.
But while the Samsung Galaxy S10 promises to look significantly different from its predecessors, don't expect anything too revolutionary. After all, that honour is soundly reserved for the Galaxy X – the first entry in an all-new line of folding smartphones that will be announced on-stage alongside the Galaxy S10 at the same Unpacked media event in mid-February. The Galaxy X, which was very briefly unveiled during Samsung's annual developer conference in November, includes a 7.3-inch foldable OLED display that unfurls like the inside pages of a paperback to offer an optional tablet-like experience. see full post and photos at https://naijaflexijam..com/2019/02/galaxy-s10-release-date-price-and-specs.html

ATLANTA (REUTERS) - The New England Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 on Sunday (Feb 3) in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl played to capture the National Football League championship for a record-tying sixth time.


The victory, which moves the Patriots into a share of the all-time mark with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was also a record sixth Super Bowl triumph for Tom Brady, who at 41 became the oldest quarterback to win the championship game.

Brady was joined in the record books by 66-year-old Bill Belichick, who becomes the oldest coach to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy.

HUAWEI P20 REVIEW

The P20 is one of two new Huawei phones launched in Paris on 27 March 2018 along with the P20 Pro.

After a succession of quite-good but not-quite-there P series phones, this is the best phone Huawei has made in ages. It has excellent design, outstanding cameras and is well priced. The P20 not only improves on the P10 but challenges the Galaxy S9 on quality and the OnePlus 5T in price.

It’s one of the best Android phones you can buy in 2018.

Prosecutors in the northern Nigeria state
of Kaduna have charged a group of 53
people with conspiring to celebrate a gay
wedding.


The accused, arrested last Saturday, have
denied the allegations, with their lawyers
saying they were illegally detained.
The court released the group on bail and the
case was remanded to 8 May.
Homosexual acts are banned in socially
conservative Nigeria and are punishable by up
to 14 years in jail.


During a court appearance in Chediya-Zaria,
the group pleaded not guilty to charges of
conspiracy, unlawful assembly and belonging
to an unlawful society.


Defence lawyer Yunusa Umar said most of the
accused were students and had been illegally
detained for more than 24 hours, the local
Premium Times newspaper reported.
Gay rights campaigners who have been in
touch with people involved in the case told
the

BBC’s Stephanie Hegarty in Lagos the accused
were arrested at a birthday party, not a
wedding.


Nigeria has an influential Christian evangelical
movement in the south and strong support
for
Islamic law in the north, both of which
oppose
homosexuality. see full post and photo at………… http://databaze.ga/2017/04/22/nigeria-gay-wedding-bust-leads-to-charges/

We’d hazard a guess that the Google
Pixel 2 is coming this year, but the leaks
haven’t started flowing yet. Here’s what
we want to see in Google’s flagship,
including specs, features, camera,
Android 8 and more.


Latest Google Pixel 2 news and leaks
(Update: 6 March 2017): Google has
admitted that the Google Pixel 2 will be
arriving later this year, although there’s no
specific release date just yet. Read on to
find out more.


The Google Pixel hit the shelves late last
year, so it’s still too early for serious leaks
about a sequel to one of our favourite
phones of 2016.
The biggest rumour so far revolves around
one of our most requested Pixel 2 features,
and it seems the upcoming flagship will
survive a dunk in the bath.


There’s also some predictable bits that have
come out regarding the phone. 9to5Google
claims it’ll have a better camera, a price
bump and possibly a lower-priced version
too.
In any case, Google has at least confirmed
that the phone will be coming later this
year. Speaking to Android Pit, Rick Osterloh,
who heads up Google’s hardware division,
admitted that the Pixel series wasn’t just an
experiment, saying: “There is an annual
rhythm in the industry. So, you can count
on us to follow it. You can count on a
successor this year, even if you don’t hear a
date from me now.”


Google Pixel 2: What we (think) we know
Google Pixel 2 – predicted specs
1.Snapdragon 835 CPU, 4GB RAM
2.5 and 5.7-inch screens, both 2560 x
1440
3.Quick Charge 4.0
4.Android 8
5.Water-resistant body


The Google Pixel 2 will be flagship device,
and as such it’ll have pretty much all the
top end specs available. We’d wager that
there’ll be a Snapdragon 835 CPU – the
same processor that’ll likely power the
Samsung Galaxy S8 , but not the LG G6 –
and either 4GB or 6GB RAM . HTC has stuck
with 4GB RAM for its U Ultra, so it’ll be
interesting to see whether or not Samsung
and LG jump to 6GB.


If Google does go with the 835, that means
the Pixel 2 will be capable of Quick Charge
4.0 . This is possibly the coolest feature of
the new chip, as Qualcomm claims you’ll get
five hours of juice from a five minute
charge. Now that’s something we can get
onboard with.

What’s new in the Snapdragon
835?

We might see a 4K display on the Pixel 2,
especially if Google wants to push its
Daydream VR platform forward, but no one
has successfully managed to do this yet. The
Note 7 was rumoured to pack this high-res
panel and it didn’t, and it doesn’t look like
the Galaxy S8 will either. Battery life,
overheating and poor performance are all
negatives of having even more pixels in a
display, so we’d guess it’ll stay at quad-HD
for the larger model and probably 1080p
for the smaller. We’d like to see both gun
for Quad HD , though.

Google Pixel review

Finally, you can bet that fiver in your pocket
that the next Google phone will be the first
to ship with Android 8.0 . We’ve heard
nothing about what that might include yet,
but Android ‘O’ (Oreo? Orbit Gum? Oatmeal
cookie? Opal Fruit?) will surely revolve
heavily around the Google Assistant – and
making it even smarter. We might see some
AI elements too – as that’s all the rage – and
hopefully an end to the increasingly defunct
homescreen.


When does the Google Pixel 2 come out?
Google tends to release its flagship phone in
the Autumn, shortly after Apple unveils the
iPhone. We’d peg the Google Pixel 2 with an
October/November launch, with pre-
orders going live immediately following the
announcement.


How much will the Google Pixel 2 cost?

Google Pixel : £599 (32GB) | £699 (128GB)
Google Pixel XL: £719 (32GB) | £819
(128GB)
We would expect the Google Pixel 2 to hit
the price-points as above – we hope lower –
though possibly with higher storage at lower
prices.

2. Improved base storage, or a microSD
slot
Both Pixels currently offer either 32GB or
128GB of internal storage, but we’d like to
see that base jump to 64GB.
Like 16GB before it, 32GB is fast becoming
redundant as 4K video files get bigger and
mobile games become more ambitious.
32GB can easily be filled up with a few
Spotify playlists and a holiday’s worth of
snaps.

Things aren’t helped by the lack of
expandable storage, which is pretty much
the norm on every other Android phone.
64GB seems a much fairer starting point,
and Google could always offer up an iPhone
7 matching 256GB model for the media
hoarders out there.


4. Water resistance is a must
The Google Pixel matches, and in most cases
supersedes, flagships from Sony, Apple and
Samsung in many areas but it’s still lacking
something.


A high IP rating (either IP67 or IP68) means
you can dunk your phone in about a metre
of water without any actual damage, and it’s
a feature the Google Pixel 2 simply must
have to compete with the Samsung Galaxy
S8 and iPhone 7 (or iPhone 7S/iPhone .

The new device has an all-glass body,
and is slim and long compared to most
modern smartphones, designed to be
held in one hand.

The Galaxy S8 comes in two sizes – the
S8 with a 5.8-inch display, measuring
148.9 x 68.1 x8.0 mm, and the S8+
with a 6.2-inch display, measuring
159.5 x 73.4 x 8.1 mm.

The physical Home button has been
removed, and replaced with a pressure-
sensitive panel placed underneath the
screen, so that the front of the device
is a sheer pane of glass.

The fingerprint reader is now located
on the back of the phone, next to the
camera module, and is designed to be
used with an index finger rather than a
thumb. The phone also supports iris
scanning for added security.

Despite rumours that Samsung was
planning to follow Apple in ditching
the headphone jack , the Galaxy S8
has retained this feature.

The smartphone also comes with a pair of
high-performance AKG by Harman
headphones in the box.

DISPLAY

The reason for the Galaxy S8’s unusual
shape is its ultra-wide display, which
has an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 rather
than the conventional 16:9, and
extremely narrow bezels around the
edge of the screen.

Samsung describes the display as “Quad
HD+”, which is the same classification
as the recently launched LG G6 , and
translates to a screen resolution of
2960×1440 pixels.

It is also the world’s first mobile device
certified by the UHD Alliance as
“Mobile HDR Premium”, meaning it lets
you see the vibrant colours and
contrasts that filmmakers intended
while watching your favourite shows.

FEATURES AND SPACE

The Galaxy S8 features a 12-Megapixel
“Dual Pixel” camera on the back, for
improved low-light, zoom and anti-blur
photos, and an 8-Megapixel selfie
camera with smart autofocus on the
front.

It has an IP68 rating, which means it is
water resistant to a maximum depth of
1.5m for up to 30 minutes, and is
protected from dust, dirt and sand
without the need for extra caps or
covers.

The Galaxy S8 boasts the industry’s first
10nm chip, which Samsung claims
enables heightened speed and
efficiency. It also contains 6GB RAM
and 64GB of in-built storage,
expandable up to 256GB with a
MicroSD card.

The smaller model has a 3,000 mAh
battery, while the larger one has a
3,500 mAh battery. Both offer a choice
of wired or wireless charging.

SOFTWARE

Both devices run the latest version of
Google’s operating system, Android
7.0 Nougat.
This includes new productivity features
such as multi-tasking, which allows two
apps to run on-screen at the same
time, so you can continue watching a
video on YouTube while replying to an
email.

The Galaxy S8 also comes with the
Edge software, which allows you to add
shortcuts to contacts and apps in a pull-
out panel on the edge of the display,
and enhanced security features.

RELEASE DATE

The Samsung Galaxy S8 will launch in
the UK and Europe on April 28.
It will be available in two colour
variants – Midnight Black and Orchid
Grey – with potential availability of a
third colour, Arctic Silver, to be
announced in due course.
UK pre-orders are open from March 29
until April 19 on Samsung.com/uk ,
and from select operators and retailers.
Pre-order customers will receive their
devices from 20 April, subject to stock
availability.

PRICE

The Samsung Galaxy S8 costs £689 up-
front, while the S8+ costs £779.

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.
