iDropNews Is This The iPhone 8? By Elijah Waeterling iDrop News has taken every piece of reliable information available today to create a vision of the world’s most advanced smartphone, the iPhone 8. View our complete iPhone 8 gallery at the bottom of this page. Apple is world-renown for its keen ability to design and produce some of the tech industry’s most stunning products and most user-friendly operating systems; best of all, everything “just works.” No company integrates its products as seamlessly as Apple does, and when you buy into the Apple ecosystem you know that you’re receiving something truly special. Another interesting facet of Apple Inc. is the company’s secrecy. No other company receives more prying eyes than Apple, as consumers insist on being on the forefront of the company’s technological advancements. While Apple is a lockbox of surprises, information does come floating to the surface allowing us to assemble the most realistic expectations for what Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone 8 will look like and the newest technologies it will possess. Based on tangible data from previous versions of the iPhone, current implementations, leaked information, and market expectations, we can make accurate predictions concerning the next generation of Apple’s iPhone, the iPhone 8, which we are expecting to be the biggest change to iPhone since its inception. 1. New White iPhone 8 Color Option Apple’s iPhone has been available in a variety of color schemes for years, most recently adding Rose Gold and Jet Black into the mix; and with that in mind, it’s safe to say Apple’s highly-anticipated iPhone 8 redesign will in fact introduce a new color option for selective consumers to choose amongst. Considering Apple borrows design elements from other devices to create design harmony, and based on confirmation coming from semi-reputable sources, we can say with near certainty that Apple will release a pure white color scheme for the iPhone 8, not unlike the gorgeous white ceramic Apple Watch Edition. A white iPhone 8 will certainly satisfy the tastes of modernists and nostalgists alike, considering Apple’s legacy iPhone 4 and 4s devices, which featured an all-white glass body, are widely regarded as two of Apple’s most aesthetically-pleasing products ever created. 2. Bezel-less OLED Display No one can deny the iPhone 7’s display is gorgeous, however like everything in life, there’s always room for improvement. Apple’s iPhone 7 uses a wide color gamut LCD display that produces color accuracy and warmth that’s nearly unbeatable. While the screen that the iPhone 7 currently deploys is great, OLED displays offer similar quality, offering darker blacks, and at the same time consume less power. Consumers have, time and time again, reported that battery life is the most important factor when purchasing a smartphone. Apple is well aware of the importance of stellar battery life and switching to an OLED display is one of the most crucial steps Apple can take to conserve the iPhone 8’s battery. It hasn’t yet been confirmed the iPhone 8 will employ an OLED display, however market trends and recent announcements from Sharp, Apple’s most prominent display manufacturer, suggest the aforementioned company will invest $588 million dollars into its OLED display business over the next few years, seemingly confirming the majority of this investment will be used to satisfy the needs of the iPhone 8’s production.
