It's a fiction.

We think that Apple has to show us something great after the Galaxy S8. Let's see how is it going to look like:


everybody thinks the next iPhone's going to be a huge step. half true, half false. next year Apple expands the iPhone line, deeply separates iPhones following the target audiences, and releases a complete new quaternary series to celebrate the 10th anniversary: entry-level, main users (two sizes), and business users. There must be some well communicable improvements for every iPhone, but the question is still with us: what is the game-changer feature of the decade?

Studio_20170401_153211.png


entry-level iPhone: stays fancy but not the smartest one: similar construction, improved features (camera, processor, connections), new functions rarely.

iPhone: Retina 2K, 4.7" 2048*1152, 500ppi, with Home button

iPhone Plus: Retina 2K, 5.5" 2400*1350, 500ppi, with Home button

iPhone-5S-iPhone-5-Buttonless1.jpg

in 2018 the Home button and SIM cards leave the iPhones forever and the new design and OLED screen both arrive to all iPhone already (except the entry-level one). 2019 will be the year of the optimized coherent synergies, and in 2020 everybody will be shocked by the new iPhone S, the world's first 8K capable, AnTuTu-millionaire handy (1000x CPU performance of original iPhone), includes all of these features above.

These renditons are far fetched. All of those features you included will never happen. It's more of a dream list than a reality.

I believe the rumors. 5.8" screen. Minimal to no bezels. Roughly the same footprint as the iPhone 7.

Make the 7S Plus a 5.5 inch bezel less LED screen, which would be the size of a regular 7, and may the 8 the 5.8 inch AMOLED bezel less phone.

iPhone 8 will be amazing, I look over net and if rumors and pictures are true ... they leave you without breath.
All I can say is Time for saving money is should start now if you didn't start earlier.
For me is 4.7" PERFECTION. I know people like bigger phones. But for people who use computers and phone use for other purpose 4.7" is best.

Only you predict it will all be on this years' phone. With phones becoming thinner all the time, how do expect them to fit a proper 5x optical lens?
I said: Some extra (and some exclusive) features are comming annually in the first three model [feature list] [...] and in 2020 everybody will be shocked by the new iPhone X [...] includes all of these features above.

5x optical zoom is not unreal (but not easy I admit it, even with): more than two cameras (3D scanning with IR depth sensor, LightField Camera, ToF sensor, monochrome sensor, color spectrum sensor etc.), thinner modules with improved technology combined (for accuracy) with laser and dual pixel autofocus, better sensors, better lenses, multi exposures (HDR Premium). it's a huge amount of information, and with a superfast ISP and 3.5 years will be enough for realizing up to 5x zoom. smartphone camera technologies are going to evolve for a while.


[doublepost=1491436539][/doublepost]this is my favorite part :

16MP (5120x3200) dual camera (VR 3D), 1/1.6" sensor, 1.6 µm pixel size, f/1.6 aperature

the golden ratio of the smartphone cameras (phi=1.61803398875)

I will not be upset, it's time for iPhone 7s... Why people talk about iPhone 8 first I don't know.
Every year first Special version show up and than next generation. Anyway I see iPhone 7s 4.7"
for us who can't afford iPhone 8 immediately. iPhone 8s will be improved, optimized, better...
I even thought to replace my SE for iPhone 6s, to give my phone and 150 euro for iPhone 6s new.
But I gave up.

There are some leaks if you search. As bigger screen, screen on the side, fully tactile release...
Screen in the side? Fully tactile release?

We are talking about some sort of rumors basically (rather than leaks), right?
