Apple iPhone 8 To Launch Without A Physical Or Virtual Home Button

While, there have been reports of Apple ditching the physical home button in its upcoming flagship the iPhone 8, the latest rumour, claims that the iPhone 8 will be launched without a physical or digital home button. So, Apple may be completely eliminating its iconic home button.

It has further been reported that Apple’s upcoming iPhone 8 might rely on gesture controls for carrying out tasks like navigating to the home screen, opening the new multitasking App Switcher, all of which were previously done via the home button.

In addition to removal of the home button, the iPhone 8 will include a taller OLED screen with rounded corners. The power button on the right side of the iPhone 8 is reportedly longer, for easier access and reach while holding the device in one hand. Apple has putatively opted not to hide the notch area at the top of the display.

Furthermore, the report added that the smartphone will have a stainless steel band around the device which the glass curves into. It stated that the steel band “has small antenna cuts on the corners like past iPhones to improve reception”. The previous leaks suggested that the iPhone 8 will also have facial recognition feature to make up for the loss of fingerprint scanner.

Apple is preparing to debut the redesigned OLED iPhone 8 at September 12 alongside iterative updates to its current smartphone line-up, the iPhone 7s. The iPhone maker is also expected to launch the new Apple TV with 4K support and Apple Watch Series 3 with LTE capability.

Apple iPhone 7s And 7s Plus May Be Thicker With Glass Backs And Wireless Charging

While the rumours surrounding the upcoming iPhone 8 have been plenty, we have not heard a lot about the other two iPhone 7s models. While there have been some leaks of the iPhone 7s models, a new report claims that Apple might compromise on size to accommodate new features such as wireless charging into the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, making them thicker than the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus.

Rumours are that the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus will be “slightly bigger in every dimension.”, meaning that the newer iterations could be wider, taller, and thicker than the previous iPhone 7.

The dimensions of the iPhone 7s will reportedly be 138.44 mm x 67.26 mm x 7.21 mm, slightly larger that the iPhone 7’s current dimensions – 138.3 mm x 67.1 mm x 7.1 mm. The marginal size difference might go unnoticed by the users. Meanwhile, the iPhone 7s Plus’s dimensions are reported to be at 158.37 mm x 78.1 mm x 7.41 mm, whereas the size of the iPhone 7 Plus is 158.2 mm x 77.9 mm x 7.3 mm.

Both the devices have the similar haptic TouchID home button at the bottom, volume buttons on the left and the power button on the right. Much like the previous iPhone 7, the 7s and 7s Plus will have sensors placed at the top of the screen . The iPhone 7S Plus is reported to feature a dual camera setup, whereas the 7S will have a single lens camera. Apple will most likely upgrade the iPhone 7S variants with the A11 Fusion chip and increased RAM.

The iPhone s series is expected to launch in three colors: black, silver, and gold.s on 12th September. Aside from the smartphones, a new model of the Apple Watch and a 4K Apple TV are expected to be unveiled at the same event.

Apple iPhone 7s And 7s Plus Will Still Have Significant Bezels

Apple is expected to launch the new iPhone 7S models alongside the iPhone 8. Though the redesigned iPhone 8 has had its fair share of leaks, but we haven’t seen a whole lot of information for the iPhone 7S and 7S plus. Newly surfaced CAD images offer a pretty close look of the yet to be revealed iPhone 7S and 7S Plus.

Both the devices have the similar haptic home button at the bottom, volume buttons on the left and the power button on the right. The iPhone 7 iteration has the sensors placed at the top of the screen and so does the the 7s and 7s Plus. According to the leaked images, the iPhone 7S Plus will feature a dual camera setup, whereas the 7S will have a single lens camera.

Sticking with same LCD panels used by Apple, the 7s and 7s Plus will feature the Apple logo at the back. Not much is expected to change on the design front, apart from the few tweaks like a glass back on the 7S.

The S models are known to receive internal upgrades and same applies to the iPhone 7S iterations. Apple is expected to upgrade both iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus with the A11 Fusion chip and hopefully increased RAM. It is widely reported that Apple’s long awaited wireless charging feature will be arriving with the next iPhone lineup. But for now, Apple seems to be sticking to the same size display on the front with the thick bezels on the top and bottom.
