In new releases, Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities (nicknamed "Apple's best analyst on the planet") and Mark Gurman of Bloomberg have come back on no less than 25 new features of the iPhone 8. It is However interesting to note that this information is not only relevant to the iPhone 8, but also the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus - improved versions of the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, which will be launched at the same time As the iPhone 8.

Here is the list, divided into two categories:

The iPhone 8 will surely beat sales records, so Ming-Chi Kuo warns that iPhone 8 stocks will be very limited until mid-2018.

However, neither Ming-Chi Kuo nor Mark Gurman mentioned the increased resolution expected on the iPhone 8, the new function area of iOS 11, nor even the explosion of prices of the range. A final point that may prove difficult to swallow if, indeed, the Touch ID is permanently abandoned.

Apple finally makes efforts and intends to present an iPhone 8 beyond anything we could dream, hope, see before in the market. After three generations of almost identical models, for many fans, it could no longer wait ...
