iPhone will be turning 10 years and for every anniversary with success, there will always be a pinch of extra surprise. Just recently, the newest iPhone 7 has been released in the market, making every iPhone addicts clap both hands and feet of its high-end features like never before. But as they turn 10, rumors says iPhone 8 is also coming with an all OLED Display.

KGI Securities' Ming-chi Kuo, leaks this rumor, describing iPhone's upcoming most coveted design, having a luxurious combination of stainless steel and glossy glass.

Kuo added that Cupertino-based Apple was happy with the features of iPhone 7, this leads to the possibility of developing an upgrade to iPhone 8 next year, Apple Insider reported.

A leak from an insider in Israel said that iPhone 8 will have an edge-to-edge, full-front display, Business Insider said. This will make the Touch ID fingerprint sensor and front camera remove. In short, there will be no home button.

Having the glass display from edge to edge needs a flexible OLED rather than an LCD, where it would surely achieve the thinner device at the same time would save power and a better display with higher contrast ratio and more true to life colors. It may also give a more edgy feature with its curved edges, although everything is still rumor.

Rumors also suggest that the next iPhone will be moving out from its aluminum body used from previous models; iPhone 5, 5s, 6, 6s, and SE, and will adopt the glass body similar to iPhone 4, confirmed by Apple supplier Catcher Technology.

On its inner features, the upcoming iPhone is said to be built with a 10-nanometer A11 chip for a faster and more efficient iPhone 8. Rumors also added that it might also use long-range wireless charging and biometric add-ons like iris or facial scanning.
