In a note sent to investors and collected by 9to5Mac, reliable KGI Securities analyst said that the tech giant “Apple will debut three new iPhones in 2017: one major redesign (colloquially dubbed “iPhone 8″) and two iterative updates to the existing 4.7-inch iPhone 7 and 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus”. Kuo Ming-Chi, known for his impeccable knowledge on issues of Apple, said the Cupertino giant will sell between 120 million and 150 million units of the iPhone 8 in the second half of 2017, a figure that would mark an unprecedented milestone in the history of Apple. The analyst says the tech giant Apple will generate these record sales thanks to new products and features to be included in their new phones. Kuo Ming-Chi said that the iPhone 8 OLED display will be the main engine to reach this rumored Apple lawsuit because it is a type of display ever seen on any Apple phone. However, the other two phones will keep the LCD screen, despite having the same design of OLED display and metal that will have the iPhone 8 in August, says Kuo Ming-Chi. The reports also suggest that “wireless charging will feature on all models, making the “less-exciting” devices still very compelling for consumers. The iterative devices will look similar in design to the iPhone 7 but replace their aluminium body with a glass casing, potentially including new cameras and the usual CPU/GPU upgrades”. While the ability to charge wirelessly will be present in all three models, none could be loaded in this way without a base load to be sold separately, according to Kuo said in an earlier report.
What it will be, an iPhone 8 or iPhone 7S ?
Information and differences between the three iPhone that Apple will release in 2017 begin to take shape. According to Kuo, the iPhone 8 will be the phone with more interesting design, because its screen will be OLED, will not have bezels or Home button and will have a higher screen size 5.8 inches, unlike the iPhone 7 Plus it is the largest Apple phone available currently which has a 5.5-inch screen. The two iPhone 7S will also have the new design similar to the iPhone 4 glass, but its internal specifications will not be improved too much. An increase in the number of megapixels, as well as increased power in the GPU and CPU, are some of the expected features.
