A report from TrendForce affirms some previous rumors we’ve been hearing. The report says Apple will go with a 5.8-inch OLED display and will not be doing a curved display due to yield issues. The physical Home button will go away and will be replaced by more screen real estate.
TrendForce also says that the device will feature 3GB of RAM, the same as the iPhone 7 Plus, and will be available in 64 and 256GB storage configurations. Noting that 3D sensing features will be used for facial recognition and augmented reality applications.
For a while, the iPhone 8 was rumored to have a curved display. TrendForce says the idea was on the table for a long time, but was shelved due to the fragility of the curved edges being cracked. However, the phone will still feature a new display making the transition from LCD to OLED.
The report also restates that this model will be much more expensive than its predecessors. Being $100 ‘or even higher’. The phone will be available in 64 and 256GB storage configurations. It’s unclear if the both models will be above $1000, or just the 256GB configuration. It seems like Apple would want to hit the magical $999 price point for the 64GB model, but this is purely speculation at the moment.
Digitimes reports that Apple is working on its own custom “built-in” fingerprint sensor for its next-generation iPhone. This implies that the company will have the sensor built into the display as the iPhone 8 is rumored to have no bezels whatsoever. Rather than relying on Synaptic or Qualcomm for the technology, Apple will be building the sensor…
