As MWC 2017 ends, it cannot be said the same for the Apple iPhone 8 rumours. So here are some more rumours about the 10th Anniversary iPhone that is coming this September 2017.
As previously speculated, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that there will be three iPhones coming instead of the standard two; with the one extra being a little bit special because it will come in OLED display. He also mentioned that the new iPhone series will retain the Lightning connectors, but adding a new USB-C port for quick charging purpose. Here's what he has to say about it:
"New 2H17 models may all support fast charging. We believe all three new iPhones launching in 2H17 will support fast charging by the adoption of Type-C Power Delivery technology (while still retaining the Lightning port). A key technical challenge lies with ensuring product safety and stable data transmission during a fast charge. In order to achieve that goal, we think Apple will adopt TI's power management and Cypress's Power Delivery chip solutions for the new iPhone models. We note the OLED version may have a faster charging speed thanks to a 2-cell L shaped battery pack design.
Just so you know, the iPad Pro already has the technology, so it was only a matter of time that the iPhone series will adapt it. But do take this with a grain of salt, as many rumours about this year's iPhone are contradicting to each other in some ways.
