Apple CEO Tim Cook will unveil the new iPhone(s) on Tuesday 12th<\/sup> September at 6pm UK time<\/a>. The launch will take place at the Steve Jobs Theatre, which is located on Apple\u2019s brand new Cupertino campus.<\/p>\n In previous years, Apple have released the new iPhone on a Friday a couple of weeks after the launch event. Based on that, this year\u2019s likely release date is Friday 22nd<\/sup> September \u201d\u201c although some sources suggest it could be a week earlier (Friday 15th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n However, persistent rumours suggest the flagship iPhone will be delayed until October or even 2018 due to production issues.<\/a> \u00a0Even if it does come out in September, stock may be extremely limited. Only time will tell.<\/p>\n Following a major leak<\/a> (that someone will almost certainly lose their job for), it’s almost certain that Apple will launch three devices: the iPhone 8, the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X, a brand new flagship device celebrating the iPhone’s 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n Almost everyone in the tech press had been calling the flagship device the \u201d\u02dciPhone 8\u2019. However, the leak has confirmed that it will be called the iPhone X.<\/p>\n After numerous leaks, including an icon in Apple\u2019s HomePod code and an unfortunate slip-up by McDonalds<\/a>, the iPhone X\u2019s design is the web\u2019s worst kept secret.<\/p>\n The leaked HomePod icon<\/em><\/p>\n It now seems certain the iPhone X will have an all-screen front with no bezels (apart from an already controversial \u201d\u02dcnotch\u2019 housing the front camera and speaker). The screen is likely to be OLED and will measure around 5.8 inches \u201d\u201c the biggest iPhone screen to date. Despite this, the iPhone X will be smaller than the iPhone 7 Plus thanks to its lack of bezels.<\/p>\n Image credit: iDrop News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n With the screen dominating the front panel, the Home button is likely to disappear entirely. Most of its functions will be replaced by virtual buttons and gesture controls, although it\u2019s not yet clear what will happen to TouchID.<\/p>\n Some rumours suggest that Apple will replace it entirely with facial recognition<\/a>, while others suggest it will move to the power button or the Apple logo on the back of the device (like the Galaxy S8). One option that can almost certainly be ruled out is a fingerprint scanner embedded under the screen, although we\u2019re happy to be proved wrong on that one!<\/p>\n The iPhone X is likely to have a glass back panel to allow for wireless charging, replacing the aluminium design of previous models. Four colours are rumoured: Black, Space Gray, Jet Black and Blush Gold, a copper-like combination of Gold and Rose Gold.<\/p>\n The iPhone 8 & 8 Plus will probably retain the same design as the iPhone 7, although there are rumblings that they too will switch to a glass back panel for wireless charging. Screen-wise, expect the usual Apple dimensions: 4.8 inches for the iPhone 8 and 5.5 inches for the iPhone 8 Plus.<\/p>\n Oh, and the headphone jack is unlikely to return for either model despite last year\u2019s backlash. Sorry!<\/p>\n Apple always introduce a new chip with their new iPhone and this year should be no different. Unless Apple decide to throw out their naming conventions again, this year\u2019s chip should be called the A11.<\/p>\n The A11 is rumoured to be Apple\u2019s first 10nm chip, which means they\u2019ve managed to pack even more transistors into the chip. That will improve the performance of each device and, crucially, improve battery efficiency too. All three devices will probably have 3GB of RAM too.<\/p>\n The one thing almost every source agrees on is that the iPhone X\u00a0will be the most expensive to date. Most rumours point to the 64GB model costing around $999 in the US<\/a>, with higher capacity models breaking the $1,000 mark significantly.<\/p>\n Based on the current exchange rate, that is around \u00a3760 in pound sterling. However, Apple are unlikely to translate the price directly due to VAT and the weak pound. Tech Radar reckon it will cost around \u00a3879 although others suggest a \u00a3999 price tag over here too.<\/p>\n Either way, you\u2019ll need a lot of spare cash if you\u2019re planning to upgrade. Why not get an instant price for your iPhone<\/a> with us today and see how much you could make?<\/p>\n If that sounds too steep, the iPhone 8 will most likely retail at a similar price at around \u00a3599 (the same price as the iPhone 7 at launch).<\/p>\n With so many changes elsewhere, Apple will probably stick with the dual lens camera set up introduced on the iPhone 7 Plus. However, they may include optical image stabilisation on both lens rather than just the wide angle lens this time.<\/p>\n The iPhone X’s front and back cameras will almost certainly have a 3D sensor too. This sensor will detect depth and location, which is essential for augmented reality apps.<\/p>\n Apple introduced ARKit, a toolset for creating AR experiences, with iOS 11 so we\u2019d be amazed if the new iPhone didn\u2019t take advantage of it.<\/p>\n There are already a few AR apps in the works, including apps to measure your home and see what a Tesla would look like in your drive, and the public is almost certainly ready for augmented reality after the massive success of Pok\u00c3\u00a9mon Go<\/em>.<\/p>\n If the iPhone X has a glass back as suggested, wireless charging is a certainty. It\u2019s the only real reason for Apple to go back after years of using metal. Adding further fuel to the fire is the fact Apple joined the Wireless Power Consortium in February this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n Early rumours suggested wireless charging would only be compatible with the iPhone X but it\u2019s now believed that it could extend across all three new iPhones.<\/p>\n Wireless charging may not be available from launch, though. Sources suggest that Apple are holding it back until the iOS 11.1 update, which tends to arrive a few weeks after the iPhone is released. You may also need to buy a separate wireless charging pad because this is Apple we\u2019re talking about (although it\u2019ll be totally worth it).<\/p>\n Sell your iPhone<\/a> with musicMagpie!
