The launch of the iPhone 8, from design to price

The rumor that the home button, the symbol of the iPhone that has been flowing continuously, will disappear seems to be almost certain.
The latest release of related patents and renderings is open to the public.
As for whether or not to remove the home button, opinions have already been in favor and against it.
It is also reported that a curved all-red display similar to Samsung's Galaxy series will be installed.
I will summarize release information for Apple's upcoming release this month.

Separated from the symbol of the iPhone, home button
It is almost certain that Apple will remove the physical home button, which was the symbol of the iPhone, and replace it with a touch-sensitive digital button.
In fact, the complete physical home button has already been removed from the iPhone 7, but the independent home button, which is separate from the display, is expected to disappear completely on the iPhone 8.

Apple Insider recently released a patent on the iPhone that shows how to integrate a touch ID into the screen to discard the home button.
The patent is known to Apple for fingerprint recognition using acoustic imaging technology.

Rumors that the home button will disappear
This technique does not require a finger optical image.
Instead, when the acoustic transducer under the glass senses an impact, it transmits a piezoelectric signal through the phone, which triggers the wave transmitted through the screen.
Each fingerprint has a unique acoustic pattern, so it is said that the user will judge and access the actual user.
China's Storm reports also report that it will be equipped with a virtual home button on Apple's next iPhone, and it is encouraging rumors that the home button will disappear.
But some foreigners, including forbes, pointed out that the iPhone would be equipped with a thin software bar instead of a home button, much more complex and less intuitive than a home button.

Leaked Rendering
In the meantime, IT industry designers around the world have been constantly speculating about Apple's plans.
Among them, Marek Weidlich released a very interesting video about Apple's next work.
The public image shows the iPhone without the bezel and home button.


Leaked Rendering and Drawings

The new rendering and drawings leaked by Waybo user KK show the next iPhone with a curved screen covering the entire front of the device.
According to this figure, the thickness of the display bezel is only 4mm, and the curved glass width on both sides of the screen is only 2.577mm.
The device itself is 137.54 x 67.54mm, almost the same size as the iPhone 7, but the screen is about 5.768 inches, much like the Galaxy S8.

Leaked New Interface

The drawing also shows the front of the screen with a front camera, speakers and other sensors and a narrow earphone.
Leaked rendering suggests that these components are hidden under the screen.
However, it is not clear how these things will actually work.

MacRumors said KK did not know the reliability of the leaked new image, but KK has shared accurate information about the old device several times.

Curve All Red Display

Curved all-red display expected

Mirror in the UK predicts that the iPhone 8 will show at least a sophisticated curved all-red display similar to the bezel used at Samsung's Galaxy S7 edge.
There is no reason for the iPhone to functionally curve the screen, but recent smartphone sales such as the Galaxy series are on the rise.

Apple contracted with Samsung for All Red panel

In March last year, Nikkei announced that Apple plans to discard its LCD display by gathering opinions on an all-red screen as it launches its first all-red iPhone in 2017.
In April of this year, DigiTimes caught the attention of Apple announcing a two-year deal with Samsung to supply all-red panels.

The deal, which was rumored to be worth $ 9 billion Mirror, reported that Samsung will ship 92 million all-red panels to Apple this year.
It accounts for 30% of all iPhone devices expected to be sold in 2017.

Model name, size and color?

Expected Apple's 2017 iPhone

According to traditional Apple plans, the 2017 model should be the iPhone 7S, but rumors that Apple is likely to release the iPhone 8 on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the iPhone are dominant.
There is even a rumor that Apple can release the iPhone 10 or iPhone X on its anniversary.

Leaked model color

It is rumored that Apple will release the iPhone 4.7-inch iPhone 7S, the 5.5-inch iPhone 7S Plus and the 5.8-inch iPhone 8.
Thinking about a 5.8-inch iPhone, you might think it's huge, but the device itself seems to be smaller than the iPhone 7s Plus, as the screen area grows.
The interest in color of iPhone 8 is also high.
Wei Boo recently unveiled the iPhone 8 in three colors, described as white, jet black, and champagne gold.
The gold color is closer to the copper color and is similar to the Rose Gold iPhone 7 that Apple has introduced.

Release date and price
Apple source Mac for iPhone (Mac4Eve) expects to release iPhone on September 22.
Pre-bookings will also be available on Friday, September 15, and will be available through stores or online from September 22.
The Wall Street Journal also cited Apple's credible sources as a separate report and said that September 12 was the final day of Apple's next work.
It is almost certain that the next iPhone will be announced, as Apple has actually sent an invitation to the event at its new Apple office on September 12th.

IPhone 8 seems to be announced on September 12

The price of the iPhone 8 is likely to be as high as the previous Apple did.
In particular, Mirror cites the latest reports and predicts that Apple's next film will be the most expensive product, surpassing $ 1,000 for the first time.
Pricing has been leaked through Fast Company, which is known to be a useful source for Apple.
