Render concept of the wrap-around display

Once again, rumours of the Apple iPhone 8 is floating around on the internet, all thanks to the similar iPhone design for the past three years, which has heavily implied Apple will make a huge makeup haul for the 10th Anniversary next year. Today, we take a look at a new render concept of what it could potentially look like based on the speculations, and as well as the dual rear cameras.

According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he said that Apple is looking to adopt AMOLED display on the iPhone 8. That's nothing new, as numerous Android smartphones have already adapted that, however, what Apple is thinking not only installing AMOLED display but also to come up with a completely new look with a wrap-around display, which can be seen in the render concept above.

Another rumour is that the AMOLED iPhone 8 will be using 5.2-inch display, serving as the middle child between the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models. Although it's 5.2-inch on paper, the measure is 5.8-inch diagonally since it will be a wrap-around display type.

In another report of his "findings", he also mentioned that the new dual-camera iPhone 8 will support dual optical image stabilization (OIS) next year.

"We believe Apple will add OIS function to the telephoto CCM in order to enhance the selling points of next year’s new iPhone. We think photo quality and optical zoom range may both improve as a result.

We expect the telephoto lens will be redesigned to support OIS in the telephoto CCM, with challenges likely coming from: (1) the need to increase the image circle of the telephoto lens, which will lead to longer calibration time and a more complex assembly processes; and (2) a redesign of the telephoto lens, as an increased image circle will result in degraded photo quality around the corners."
