Apple fans and tech enthusiasts were found to be less excited about Apple iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus release as there was nothing new which the handsets offered. Now, after the release, all eyes are set on Apple's 2017 iPhone 8 which will mark iPhone's 10th anniversary. While, Apple is not expected to reveal anything about iPhone 8 2017, especially not this early, rumors about the handset's release date, specs, features and pricing details have already flooded the internet.

According to BGR, an Apple Israel employee has confirmed that work on the highly anticipated iPhone 8 2017 has already been started. He added that the next gen iPhone will be very different from the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 in terms of specs and features. The source revealed that Apple's iPhone 8 2017 will come with a better camera as compared to previous iPhone variants.

Among other specs, the upcoming Apple iPhone 8 2017 is expected to feature an edge-to-edge OLED display without the top and bottom bezels where the front-facing camera and fingerprint sensor are located, reported MacRumors. As per the report, the camera and the Touch ID may come built directly into the display and the handset will have no physical home button. Rumors suggest the Apple iPhone 8 2017 might ditch the aluminum body in favor of a full glass enclosure with glass on both the front and back sides.

Previous rumors suggested that the upcoming iPhone iteration will come packed with a 10-nanometer A11 processor which will be faster as well as more efficient than the currently used A10 Fusion chip. The chip will reportedly support biometric additions such as facial and iris scanning and long-range wireless charging.

It remains to be seen whether or not Apple's upcoming iPhone will feature the headphone jack. As far as Apple iPhone 8 2017 release date is concerned, the handset is expected to get either a late August or early September release.
