       The iPhone 8 is going to be a special release, as it is the 10th
       anniversary of the iPhone. As a result, Apple is expected to
       make sure that the next iPhone will come with major changes.
       Rumors are also supporting this, claiming that the new iPhone
       will be a game changer, whether or not you are an Apple fan.
       Current rumors suggest a release date of September 22, while it
       will be announced on the 12th. The iPhone 8 is expected to cost
       $1000.
       The iPhone 8 will likely be announced alongside the iPhone 7S,
       7S+, a new Apple TV, and a new Apple Watch. The iPhone 8 will be
       released slightly later, to give the 7S/7s+ some time to sell
       and to fix all of the problems and shortage of supply with the
       iPhone 8.
       The iPhone 8 was supposed to have Touch ID integrated in the
       display, complications caused Apple to ditch the feature.
       Instead, it will most likely have Touch ID in the enlarged power
       button, or the back. There are also rumors pointing towards the
       removal of Touch ID in favor of Face ID, which will most likely
       happen whether or not Touch ID is removed. An interesting change
       in the iPhone is the possible vertical camera. It is unknown why
       Apple decided to change the orientation of the lens. There will
       also be a change in materials, having a glass back and stainless
       steel sides.
       The iPhone 8 is also expected to come with a 3D front facing
       camera, for a better augmented reality experience, as well as
       wireless charging. Wireless charging sold separately. It will
       also have a better screen-to-body ratio, almost gone from all
       those nasty bezels. Since there will only be a small bezel, the
       home button will be gone in favor on an on screen one called the
       function bar, working similarly to a touch bar. The display may
       also be True Tone and 120Hz.

       The 3 iPhones will also come is a new color called blush gold.
       The 7S will have a 4.7in display, the 7S+ will have a 5.5in
       display and the iPhone 8 will have a 5.8in display. All 3
       iPhones will come with the A11 chip, which may be a 10nm chip.
       The dual lens option may become available on 3 models of the
       iPhone, or it may just be on the two more premium models. The
       telephoto lens will now support optical image stabilisation. All
       3 models will now include a lightning to USB-C cable.
       The display will be curved and have rounded edges. In addition
       to that, it will also support the Apple Pencil. Storage options
       are getting bigger once again, as you can now choose from 64GB,
       256GB, or 512GB. The phones will have an IP68 rating, making it
       even more water resistance. The new iPhones will come in black,
       silver, gold, and blush gold. The audio will improve in this
       revision of the iPhone, and it may include AirPods, which will
       be helpful seeing a lack of a headphone jack and a lightning to
       3.5in jack. The 7S and 7S+ will get 2GB RAM and the 8 will have
       3GB.
       Apple will have to make a decision soon since the Intel modem
       doesn't support Gigabit LTE, and Qualcomm does. This is forcing
       Apple to purposely slow down the Qualcomm modem to be on par
       with the Intel modem.
