All you need to know about the upcoming iPhone 8
The main speculation and reports are Apple may launch three iPhones: one that's redesigned, and two updates to the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Analysts have suggested several names for the redesigned iPhone, including "iPhone Pro," "iPhone Edition," "OLED iPhone," and "iPhone 8," which we're calling it. This report will focus entirely on the iPhone 8.
Speculation on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
The model that has received the most attention is the redesigned iPhone. Also, it's expected to have an edge-to-edge, curved screen with much smaller bezels than the current iPhone 7. The screen uses a newer kind of display technology called OLED that promises to use less power and provide darker blacks.

Also this bigger screen aims to have a resolution of 1125 x 2436, according to Apple's code as well as a forecast from KGI Securities. They are little tidbits in the OS suggesting upcoming iPhone will have a 3x screen at 1125x2436. Hard to gauge what that will mean for devs
Receiving the most attention on the iPhone 8 is the front camera with 3D sensing and modeling functions, allowing it to not only take photos but also manipulate them. The front-facing camera will be used for facial recognition, either to replace the Touch ID fingerprint sensor or to supplement it.
It was confirmed by Apple code that references face-unlocking and a so-called BiometricKit.

The new iPhone 8 is expected to get other things that aren't in the public previews of iOS 11, like augmented-reality features that let the camera change photos.
Another speculation and report is that Apple is already integrating augmented-reality features into Clips, the fun camera app it released earlier this year.
This means iPhone owners would not have to plug in your iPhone to charge it anymore — Apple is said to be adding wireless charging to the models coming out this fall, though the rumored Apple Watch-style charger may be sold separately. Apple has also officially joined the Wireless Power Consortium, suggesting it's serious about the technology.We all know the redesigned iPhone won't be cheap — some analysts and reports have speculated it could cost $1,000 or more.
