iPhone 8 Leak: New Leak Reveals Waterproofing And Enhanced Stereo Surround
7th May 2017: Apple's 2017 flagship device, dubbed as the iPhone 8 here on, has been already making headlines with its leaks and rumors. The phone will come with an OLED display and wireless charging.
A recent report by JP Morgan analysts, reveals that the new flagship device will come fitted with an enhanced earpiece that will help in drastically improving the surround sound of the iPhone 8. The said leak also suggests improved waterproofing with more resistance to splashes and dunks underwater.
JP Morgan analysts are analysts that track Apple's supply chain in the Asia-Pacific region. Previous leaks from the team have always proved themselves to be true, hence this one comes with a certain assurance regarding iPhone 8 rumors.
The analysts did not mention any acoustical improvements to the iPhone 8's earpiece, but given the increase in its surround sound quality, it is highly likely that the iPhone 8 will feature a better and louder speaker with richer acoustics than the iPhone 7.
Multiple reports have already suggested that the new flagship Apple device, the iPhone 8 will cost significantly more than its predecessor. The phone is predicted to cost at least as much as a maxed-out iPhone 7 plus.
Given the increase in the price of iPhone 8, we can safely assume that the rumor about AirPods being included with the phone could hold true. JP Morgan analysts predicted this move of Apple including AirPods with the iPhone 8 in the same leak.
Other rumored features by the analysts include a stainless steel and glass design, faster processor, wireless charging, larger battery, and even a face recognition module.
