While some users are eagerly awaiting the official release of the iPhone 7, which according to information is scheduled for September 07, 2016, Apple seems to be already thinking about the iPhone 8 that will be launched in 2017. According to some reports, there are confirmations that this may happen, this is already in a broader report focusing on new mobile payment features designed for Japan.
According to an expert familiar with the matter, Apple is already working to carry out a major overhaul of the iPhone that will launch in 2017, the company has decided to concentrate heavily on inserting a screen that will not need the usual Home button. The future iPhone 8, will undergo a complete overhaul of its design, with a flexible edge-to-edge OLED display, which ends with the top and bottom panels, where features like the fingerprint sensor touch ID and front camera are attached.
With this change, the functionality of the Home button, including Touch ID, can be placed directly on the display. Apple's chief design officer Jony Ive has already commented that it plans to build an iPhone that looks like a single glass slide for several years. From what everything indicates in 2017 is that the brand will celebrate its 10 anniversary of the iPhone, and that is when it can happen.
