<\/a><\/p>\nAs ever, people have been studying Apple\u2019s invitation for clues; the most plausible theory so far is that the three colours represent the three new phones. They could just be messing with us, though.<\/p>\n
\n
The name<\/b><\/h4>\n
For months, the tech press has reported that Apple\u2019s new flagship device will be called the iPhone 8 and the two other devices will be the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus.<\/p>\n
However, according to a report by 9to5Mac, Apple will likely call the main device the iPhone X or iPhone Edition instead.<\/p>\n
Prominent phone leaker Evan Blass (who is generally accurate when it comes to these matters) claims it will be the iPhone X, which makes a lot of sense given the 10th anniversary theme.<\/p>\n
However, 9to5Mac reports that case makers at last week\u2019s IFA event in Berlin have opted for the iPhone Edition after talking to sources at the Foxconn facility in Shenzen, China. While not as catchy or obvious as iPhone X, Edition (also used for the top-of-the-range Apple Watch) would suit the new iPhone\u2019s high-end design and price.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, the mid-range iPhones \u201d\u201c long rumoured to be the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus \u201d\u201c may actually be the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Previous rumours have suggested both phones will represent a bigger technical leap than the standard \u201d\u02dcs\u2019 model so it\u2019s plausible \u201d\u201c but only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Siri is moving<\/h4>\n
The new iPhone won\u2019t have a Home button, a change that left everyone\u2019s favourite personal assistant in limbo (unless you feel comfortable saying \u201cHey Siri\u201d\u009d to your phone in public).<\/p>\n
Luckily, Siri will have a new home on the power button. That\u2019s according to developer Guilherme Rambo, who has been meticulously digging through Apple\u2019s HomePod code over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n
According to other rumours, Siri will also be able to sync across devices for the first time and translate English into five languages.<\/p>\n

Wireless charging<\/strong><\/h4>\nWireless charging has been at the top of many Apple users\u2019 wishlists for a long time. It looks like it\u2019s finally happening, with Japanese tech site Macotakara the latest source to apparently confirm it<\/a>.<\/p>\nHowever, Macotakara\u2019s report has a sting in the tale: Apple devices will only charge with Apple-approved charging pads (read: expensive extra accessory) and the charging power will be restricted to a slower than average 7.5 watts.<\/p>\n
\nThe price<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn a recent piece<\/a>, The New York Times suggested that the iPhone 8\/X\/Edition price will be around $999 \u201d\u201c a significant $1 short of that magic grand mark (although we\u2019re guessing that figure is for the base model).<\/p>\n$999 is around \u00a3770 at the current exchange rate, but the chances of it being that cheap this side of the pond are slim to none.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because Apple base their prices on the strength of local currency compared to dollars (hence a price increase last year after the value of the pound fell following the EU Referendum vote) and because of VAT.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, there\u2019s a chance the new iPhone will cost around \u00a3999 over here too. Best get trading in that old iPhone!<\/p>\n
