Here Are All the Rumors You Need to Know About the New iPhone
Apple is planning to unveil some news at their September Keynote tomorrow and given that it's the 10th anniversary of the iPhone's debut, the announcement is expected to reveal some big news about the much-anticipated iPhone 8. If you're dying to know that the scoop is, you're in luck. Over the weekend, an unreleased build of iOS 11 was leaked to the press which stirred up some serious rumors as to what the new iteration is going to hold. While, nothing is confirmed, we couldn't help but take a peak at the gossip, and if the announcement lives up to the hype, trust us, it's going to be good. Here's the scoop:
1. There are likely to be three new phones.
Whether there is going to be an iPhone 7, iPhone 7s and iPhone 8 or if Apple is skipping 7s completely and going to iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X is to be determined. Either way, the premium phone will likely be the most advance with facial recognition in place of the fingerprint ID, camera app adjustments and True Tone Display.
Here's a video of someone testing out the Face ID setup:
2. Your selfies are about to get so much better.
According to Gizmodo and 9to5Mac, some awesome new camera features are rumored to be coming including Contour Light, Natural Light, Stage Light, Stage Light Mono and Studio Light. More advanced photographers may also have the ability to manually adjust the camera's flash and film with higher resolution and capture speeds, with the highest being 1080p at 240 fps. Rachel Rothman, Chief Technologist at the Good Housekeeping Institute, says that given Apple's camera history, it's likely that this rumor will hold up. "Every iteration has gotten better, so you can be sure that the new premium phone is going to have top of the line capabilities," she explained.
3. Animated emojis are coming!
They're rumored to be 3D and have the ability to move and make facial expressions.
4. Your home button may be going away.
The physical home button on iPhones as you know them may be disappearing. Instead users will be able to use the entire screen for display purposes.
5. You will have to pay a pretty penny for the new version.
While two of the phones are expected to be more affordable, the flagship phone is expected to be on the expensive side. "The top of the line is likely going to be pushing $1,000, which is high but comparable with other premium phones currently on the market," explains Rothman.
6. There's Apple Watch news, too.
According to rumors, it looks like the new iteration of the watch has cellular capabilities so you can make calls from it. There are also rumors of new colors, including blush gold.
