Apple will also integrate the Touch ID sensor into the front panel of the iPhone 8. Report claims that the iPhone 8 will be using an L-shaped battery to improve its battery capacity by 30 percent.

As per WCCFTech, the wireless charging feature will be available for the iPhone 7S, iPhone 7S Plus and iPhone 8. A JPMorgan analyst also predicts that the iPhone 8 will be bundled with Apple's latest AirPods. All three smartphones are expected to be revealed this coming September.

The iPhone 8's edge-to-edge display is a similar approach to Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. The OLED touchscreen panel of the iPhone 8 will be coupled with its edge-to-edge display. Apple's flagship phone will also have a dual-lens camera on the rear. The iPhone 8's waterproofing feature and speakers are also improved.

Some rumors claim that the iPhone 8 might also sport an iris scanning feature and a 3D recognition sensor to improve its security. As for now, the Cupertino-based company has not made any official announcements regarding the exact release date and specs about the iPhone 8.
