iPhone 8 Release Date , Features and iOS 11 ( iOS Assistance )

iPhone 8 release date, specs and price, while iOS 11 hints at more powerful camera with AR focus.

YEAH, WE KNOW The iPhone 8 is probably still around five months away but that hasn't stopped speculation and loose-lipped execs spilling details about Apple's next-generation smartphone.
The iPhone 8, apparently set to arrive as the 'iPhone Edition', will be Apple's 10th-anniversary smartphone, and looks set to be the first to debut wireless charging tech, a curved AMOLED display and an unusual vertical dual rear-facing camera. If rumours are to be believed, the so-called 'Edition' will launch alongside the less-impressive iPhone 7S and 7S Plus.
We've rounded up everything we know about the iPhone 8 so far and will update this article as soon as we hear more. 

Release date
The iPhone 8 is likely to be announced in September 2017, marking 10 years since the firm launched its first smartphone. 

However, one report claims that it might not be available to buy until the fourth quarter, noting that the iPhone 8 may be available in limited quantity only. A note by analyst Timothy Arcuri from Cowen and Company has added weight to this and claims that production could be delayed due to issues with its Touch ID sensor.

Another report suggests the iPhone 8 may not arrive until 2018. A research Deutsche Bank, picked up by Business Insider, claims the smartphone won't make it onto shelves this year due to supply chain issues and "technical challenges".

As if just to confuse matters more, Digitimes is reporting that mass production of the iPhone 8 is on schedule and that the smartphone will see a release in October.

PriceIf it's anything like Apple's new MacBooks, next year's iPhone will be more expensive than this year's release, and some are claiming that the highest-spec model will be the first iPhone to cost more than $1,000.
