If rumours are to be believed then Apple could follow its annual September tradition of releasing its phones. Apple’s tenth-anniversary phone, the iPhone 8, is expected to release on 12 September.

As per the report, the details of the launch have already been shared with people involved with the marketing of the device, as well as inventory. As per previous reports on various leaks, Apple is expected to launch the **iPhone 8** along with **iPhone 7s and 7s Plus** . As per earlier tip offs, iPhone 8 **will come**  in 64 GB and 256 GB variants. Another leak by Weibo suggests another variant of this phone would come with a 512 GB storage. Apple’s much anticipated tenth-anniversary phone is expected to come with a wireless charging technology. In early June, at a shareholders meeting, Wistron chief, Robert Hwang,  **in a slip of tongue** had revealed that the new phone would be waterproof and have wireless charging. Wistron which is Apple’s iPhone’s assembler, thus indicated that they may have to change the assembly process for the new additions. The new iPhone will come with iOS 11 which was announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference this year. A number of reports also suggest that the new iPhone will feature an OLED screen and a bezel-less design. With the iPhone 7, Apple introduced optical image stabilisation (OIS) for the regular iPhone. It was a much-needed feature that took its time getting to the smaller iPhone. The Plus model introduced a dual-camera system with a wide-angle and normal lens (Apple calls it telephoto, but it’s only a 56mm equivalent lens), but the latter lacks OIS. While a new and “improved” camera is expected, no one is expecting much from the system other than  OIS for the normal lens, says MacRumours.
