Reports are that the upcoming smartphone will come with a major redesign. While there are many Android smartphones that are currently using the Wireless Charging upgrade, the feature is totally new in the iPhone line up. The iPhone 7 successor is expected to feature a glass chassis so as to prevent interference while charging through the wireless charging panel. The 2017 Apple iPhone 8 is also rumored to come with a new radical screen design.

This year the tech giant got rid of the 3.5 mm headphone jack in the latest iPhone iteration. It is expected that Apple may get rid of the home button in the upcoming 2017 iPhone 8. The new smartphone is expected to feature a curved OLED display, which will be bezel-less as the home button will probably be integrated into the screen itself.

The next generation smartphone has been reported to hit the market in three models. The first one being an OLED model, whereas the remaining two will feature 4.7" and 5.5" LED screen. Although wireless charging and a glass chassis will be featured in all the above smartphones, the LED model might make the iPhone 8 the cheapest one so far.

Although not much has been revealed about the wireless charging so far, Apple may improve the technology well further by the end of next year. It may also be possible that in the coming time you wouldn't even have to place your iPhone on a charging pad to get it charged.
