Everything we know about the iPhone 8 (AAPL)
Martin Hajek
Apple is widely expected to launch new iPhones in September.
There's been a ton of speculation and reports about the upcoming iPhone, including that it'll be redesigned.
The pressure is on Apple, too. It's the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone, launched in 2007, and the company is expected to have some big plans to mark the occasion.
Wall Street analysts hope the new iPhone drives a "supercycle" of sales and propels Apple to become the first trillion-dollar publicly traded company.
Apple rarely comments on upcoming products, but some code from Apple suggests some of the rumors may be accurate.
Here's what you need to know about the upcoming iPhone:
Apple is expected to launch three iPhones: one that's redesigned, and two updates to the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Analysts have suggested several names for the redesigned iPhone, including "iPhone Pro," "iPhone Edition," "OLED iPhone," and "iPhone 8," which we're calling it. This report will focus entirely on the iPhone 8.
The redesigned iPhone is the model that has received the most attention. It's expected to have an edge-to-edge, curved screen with much smaller bezels than the current iPhone 7. The screen uses a newer kind of display technology called OLED that promises to use less power and provide darker blacks.
This rendering of what the iPhone is expected to look like comes from designer Martin Hajek, who posts the files used to make his renders online.
Apple seemingly confirmed the iPhone 8 redesign with significantly smaller bezels in this image included in HomePod firmware that Apple released. The codename for this image? D22.
