iPhone 8 release date, specs news: New iPhone to showcase smartphone's 10th year anniversary

Despite the lack of confirmation from Apple with regard to the release date of the upcoming iPhone 7, people are already talking about what iPhone 8 can offer. According to reports, Apple is planning to release a powerful iPhone model to mark the 10th anniversary of the flagship smartphone.

According to a report by BGR, tech observers expect the upcoming iPhone 7 without many changes from its predecessor. The publication added that the reason for that is because the company will save all the improvements and added features for the flagship smartphone's 10th-year anniversary offerings.

There are speculations online saying that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or USPTO have granted Apple Inc. a new patent, which suggest that future iPhone models will have an all glass design. The device will be wrapped with glass and it will have a flexible display. If rumors prove to be true, the new smartphone will carry super slim bezels and will come with a transparent chassis.

The upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are expected to come out this fall. On the other hand, the iPhone 8 will allegedly arrive in fall of next year. There have been reports suggesting that the iPhone 8 will adopt Samsung's OLED display technology. The new display will cover the entire front of the smartphone, which will come without any home button.

Other features of the handset include a sport wireless charging system and a much-improved camera technology. According to reports, the new device will also have an Enhanced haptic feedback. These are five major changes that Apple is planning to work on for the new iPhone 8.

As of the moment, no solid details have been provided by the Cupertino-based company. However, many fans are expecting Apple to release significant information after they launch the next iPhone iteration, which is the iPhone 7.
