Ten years ago, in January 2007–The late Steve Jobs introduced Apple’s venture into mobile telephony with the iPhone and has seen over 15 products including the current line-up -The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus.
With September being that time of the year where the Cupertino based company does their main launches –There are three phones expected to be launched –Those being the iPhone 8, 8 plus and the anniversary edition –iPhone X besides the launch of iOS 11.
Here are eight rumors to keep most looking forward to the new device.
1. Face unlocking (Face ID)
With iOS 11-The Touch ID sensor/Home button is most likely going to be replaced by face recognition unlocking through the front camera for which Apple had filed a patent for 3D facial recognition and mapping .
2. Capacitive Home button integrated into the screen
With this, Apple mostly will be getting rid of a physical home button and integrating a capacitive home button within the screen that came be used contextually in iOS 11, this is a feature which have been earlier implemented by many android smartphone makers earlier.
3. Bezel less OLED display
This one is what most people are looking forward to with better color output, better utilization of screen space for multimedia content and better power utilization with Apple’s migration from LCD to OLED technology expected with the bezel less /Infinity OLED display which had been earlier implemented by Samsung through its S8, S8+, LG and home grown manufacturers like Micromax.
4. 1000$ price tag
The anniversary edition or Apple iPhone X is one set peoples tongue wagging with an expected price tag of US dollar 999, which has been doing the rounds over the last four months with Apple migrating to new technologies like OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), the new A11 fusion chipset, and dual front and back camera set-up likely to justify the price of Anniversary edition device.
5. Dual Camera set-up
Continuing with the dual camera setup last seen in the I-Phone 7 plus, this is likely to continue the tradition of dual real cameras to help one get the portrait effect, but the most likely twist to all this includes dual front cameras to aid with Face ID unlocking, portrait effect with the front camera.
6. AR and VR support
With its AR kit and VR kit available to software developers–Apple has let people know that these new devices are most likely to incorporate Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) within its devices so that software developers can make products that will be able to create content that make use of the devices hardware to the best for which Apple have already applied for patents with regards to 3D depth, facial and gesture recognition.
7. iOS 11
iOS 11-The most recent Apple operating system for phones which was launched at Apple WWDC conference in June, which is more gesture and professional fluid tablet like interface for apple iPhone and iPad devices.
8. New Processor, Same RAM specs, Glass panel back and increased storage capacity
One of the most touted addition would be the introduction of the new A11 Fusion chipset which is likely to be a six Core processor for high end video rendering and gaming with two high performance cores and four low power processor cores to handle background processing.
This has also been another rumor making the mark that people would have a glass panel back going back to the I-Phone 4s days, but also a lesser touted rumor is that of increased base storage capacity for all the models being 64 GB, which is unlikely as Apple increased its base storage limit to 32 GB across all models just last year.
Get your wishing hats ready and be ready to ping your friends and relatives abroad to get these devices once its launched. But with the delays in production OLED screen and chances are the anniversary edition might have limited production numbers, the devices might take as late as November or December to reach India while its predecessor started retailing in India within by October 2016.
