The launch of Apple's iPhone 8 has been marred with production delays but a tipster revealed the gadget will finally be on sale Sept. 25. Design leaks making its way on the internet also showed the latest smartphone will have a bezel-less front display.
Benjamin Geskin, who usually posts renders and schematics of unreleased devices on his Twitter based on speculations, was the source of the leak. He said Apple will put the iPhone 8 in the market on Sept. 25. He also revealed in a Twitter post that Apple will introduce this during a keynote speech on Sept. 17.
The dates make sense to Apple fans because September 2017 will be the 10th year anniversary of when the gadget first hit the market. Previous rumors, however, say the iPhone 8 will not be out until 2018 because the smartphone's new design posed "technical challenges" that affected production.
This will be the first iPhone with a bezel-less design. Additionally, the phone's front camera will not be set under the display screen, but it will be featured in a cutout where details like date, time and phone signals are also indicated.
Observers say that the iPhone 8 could be the most expensive smartphone yet. The alleged new design should drive the price of the upcoming release.
Meanwhile, another leak showed the iPhone 8 case vis-a-vis the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to compare the difference. The new device looked bigger than the iPhone 7 but not as big as an iPhone 7 Plus. The said video, found at the end of this report, was apparently sourced from iPhone cases Alibaba obtained, according to NDTV.
Apple, as always, has not addressed whether these leaks are true or not.
