I phone 8

 APPLE'S IPHONE 8 LAUNCH - it's tenth anniversary of  the iPhone - is now just weeks away. And it looks like there are barely  any surprises left to reveal at the big launch, except the price.  The iPhone 8, tipped by some to arrive as the 'iPhone Edition' or  'iPhone X' will be Apple's 10th-anniversary smartphone and looks set to  be the first to debut wireless charging tech, a curved AMOLED display  and an unusual vertical dual rear-facing camera. If rumours are to be  believed, the so-called 'Edition' will launch alongside the  less-impressive iPhone 7S and 7S Plus.  

 Release date
The iPhone 8 will be unveiled on 12 September, according to a report at Mac4Ever. 

However, some reports claim that it might not be available  to buy until the fourth quarter, noting that the iPhone 8 may be  available in limited quantity only. A note by analyst Timothy Arcuri  from Cowen and Company has added weight to this and claims that  production could be delayed due to issues with its Touch ID sensor. Another report suggests the iPhone 8 may not arrive until 2018. A research Deutsche Bank, picked up by Business Insider, claims the smartphone won't make it onto shelves this year due to supply chain issues and "technical challenges". As if just to confuse matters more, Digitimes is reporting that mass production of the iPhone 8 is on schedule and that the smartphone will see a release in October. Price
If it's anything like Apple's new MacBooks,  next year's iPhone will be more expensive than this year's release, and  some are claiming that the highest-spec model will be the first iPhone  to cost more than $1,000.
