Furthermore, all three iPhone models will be supporting fast charging tech. Unfortunately, users will have to spend extra on the Lighting-to-USB-C cable and wall adapter to make use of the fast charging tech.
iPhone 8 could feature edge-to-edge OLED display unlike the LCD displays in the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus.
A slew of new features of the upcoming iPhone 8 have been discovered from a recently released HomePod firmware. Latest one is the handset's ability to mute notifications when a user is looking at the screen, according to developer Guilherme Rambo.
"What @jsnell talked about on the last @_upgradefm is true: the iPhone will suppress notification sounds if you're looking at it," tweeted Rambo with a couple of screenshots showing the references. There is no word as to how exactly will the feature work.
