News regarding the release of the iPhone 8 are varied. While some analysts claim that the phone will be released in September 2017 along with the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus, others claim that this won’t be the case considering that this iPhone will be the most high-end phone ever developed by Apple, and that it will change the course of the iPhones forever.
Experts that believe that the iPhone 8 will be released soon think that supplies will be very limited (more so than usual), consisting of only 2 or 4 million devices available for purchase.
While there’s not a lot of information available, there have been several leaks that have people talking. If these bits of information turn out to be true, fans of Apple will finally get something they’ve been looking for in the previous versions of the phone; innovation.
3D Face Scanning Technology
A piece of code published on Twitter has people believing that the new iPhone will recognize your face, which can mean several things. If your phone is ringing or has any notifications, it will stop as soon as you look at it, because it’ll know that it has your attention.Â

This technology is accompanied with the rumored infrared face unlock, which is the next form of biometric security where you won’t even have to interact with the screen to unlock the phone. This technology allows you to unlock your device just by looking at it, like those banks from Charlie’s Angels and Mission Impossible. Due to these new security measures, it’s believed that the iPhone 8 will have two frontal cameras and an infrared sensor.
A Sleeker Look & Design
Other leaks claim that the phone will have a back glass plate, which aside from looking very cool and fancy, can also mean that the phone will be able to charge wirelessly.
The home button is another feature that is rumored to change. Always subject to a lot of controversy, leaks and experts believe that it will be removed completely from the iPhone 8, which leaves us with a highly interactive, very expensive piece of black or white glass. Is it the future yet?Â
