Everything You Need to Know about the New IPhone 8 before Its Release ...

Numerous publications have been referencing 'Apple expert' (what that exactly means, we're not sure) Benjamin Geskin's tweets which show a leaked idea of what the iPhone 8 will look like.

As you can see, these images suggest there'll be no Home button on the new phone (?!), and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner will be embedded within the display. Whaaaat.

The handset will also reportedly have a new OLED display that will stretch across the whole front of the phone.

Rumors say the iPhone 8 will be the biggest one yet at 5.8inches - with the iPhone the iPhone 7 Plus coming in at 5.5-inches. So yeah, it'll be pretty huge.

Apparently, Apple are hoping to introduce 3D scanning that will be able to see people's faces, a "function area" at the bottom of the large screen allowing easy access to certain features - much like the new Macbook Pro's touch bar, and extra display places for things like photos, The Independent reports.

It's thought it'll also have a storage update (yaaas), as well as the ability to float on water, according to Tech Stuff. They say Apple previously filed a patent to create a phone with shock absorbers - and a mechanism which means the phone floats - in a bid to prevent cracked screens and water damage.

A report in Bloomberg also suggested the iPhone 8 will have wireless charging abilities.

After the revolutionary introduction of the dual camera and portrait mode on the iPhone 7 Plus, are all our selfies going to get better and better from now on? 9to5Mac think it'll remain exclusive to the bigger of the iPhone models in the future - which is great news for iPhone 8 users.

There's also talk of a "revolutionary" new selfie camera that uses infrared technology to detect the location and depth of objects in its field of vision, and a 3D camera system for 3D selfies, face and iris recognition.

Instagram game, strong.

Apple traditionally release the latest iPhones during the first two weeks of September, so following that pattern would mean between September 4-17th.

But with that said, this year marks 10 years since the original iPhone first came out - with Tech Trader Daily questioning whether that means it'll come out on the same date 29 June, or sooner that the usual September.

According to the Fast Company, who say "a source with knowledge of Apple's plans" leaked the price plan to them, report that the iPhone 8 will be the most expensive yet, exceeding the $1,000 mark for the first time. Oh good.
