L’iPhone 8, which should be revealed at the start of the next school year if the
Cupertino company follows its usual schedule, is a model eagerly awaited by
the tech industry and especially users who wish to renew their
machine.
According to a new analyst report from BlueFin Research Partners
which cites sources close to the production chains,Apple
would start iPhone production much earlier than years
previous ones.
The Cupertino firmwould plan to start the assembly of
the iPhone from Junenext. But be careful, we must not conclude from this
as long as the iPhone 8 will be released earlier this year! Maybe it's
simply the means chosen by the Apple firm to havemore than
stockin order to be able to supply sufficient requests from the
launch. We are indeed experiencing the usual September shortages,
October and sometimes longer, which follow the releases of new
devices…
Especially since we can anticipate, for this anniversary model with the new
design, aparticularly sustained renewal cycleof
from many users. Many have ignored the last ones
models and expect a different design from that seen now for 3
generations. Without forgetting the technical improvements that could make
their appearance.
According tothe latest rumors,
the iPhone 8 would offer an all-glass design on the front and back, a
Edge-to-edge OLED display, steel chassis, and integrated Home/Touch ID button
under the screen.
Wireless charging could also be included, but we don't know
not yet in what form, as recent rumors suggest recharging
by induction as seen on the Apple Watch, othersa long-distance charging solutionthanks to a
technology from the Energous company.
We will monitor this carefully, knowing that if production starts
anticipated way, thefirst hardware leaks should also
arrive earlier.
