I can believe the bezel less shit and the home button delete (they're a bit late to the game with that), processor upgrade and OLED screen, but the integrated touch Id and far reach wireless charging sound like bullshit.

That image is not possible you still need a space for the camera and the speaker.

>>56267186
>>56267403
>No more bezels (edge-to-edge display)
Apple has absolutely zero experience designing and much less manufacturing smartphone displays. It's probably safe to say that whatever new screen shows up in the Galaxy S8/Note8 next year is going to be very similar to whatever is in the iPhone 8, particularly since Samsung is rumored to be the primary manufacturer for the iPhone OLED displays. Contrary to what Apple fanboys think, Apple doesn't just come out and invent a bunch of shit that doesn't yet exist on the market, nor should they. Their strength is adapting proven technologies within a unified hardware/software experience.

Aside from being a UX nightmare, a completely bezel free display like that is probably not possible currently.

>OLED screen
It's almost certain that Apple will invent the OLED screen in 2017 for use on the iPhone 8.

>Touch ID and camera embedded into the screen
There is no way the camera will be embedded in the screen. I would say with near certainty that the physical home button/TouchID will be axed and replaced with a haptic feedback button that will be one piece with the fused screen but probably not actually embedded into the display. Having a physical home button is a reliability nightmare, tons need to get replaced due to wear and tear, and it also complicates waterproofing. There is the possibility that TouchID could move to a system like Qualcomm's SenseID were it functions ultrasonically and thus can be located below the display surface. This may introduce a problem for the iPhone's UX though by getting rid of one of it's hallmarks, that is the home button.

>Wireless Charging in which the iPhone will not have to be on a mat but can be meters away from the wireless charging station
This is absolutely not going to happen.

>Faster A11 processor
This should be a forgone conclusion. The only thing worth anticipating here is by how much the A11 will rape next year's Snapdragon offerings.

Wow, just like every other flagship phone
>Touch ID and camera embedded into the screen
Literally what? I don't see how that would be possible, moreso the camera aspect.
>Wireless Charging in which the iPhone will not have to be on a mat but can be meters away from the wireless charging station
Makes zero sense, there is no feasible way this is true and would almost certainly cause more problems including health and safety.
>Faster A11 processor
Standard upgrade, wouldn't be surprised.

>>No more bezels
Great, now I either have an unresponsive area of the screen or keep activating shit I don't want just by holding the phone.
>>Touch ID and camera embedded into the screen
Cool, they can now collect my finger prints even easier. There is nothing wrong with that at all.
>>Wireless Charging in which the iPhone will not have to be on a mat but can be meters away from the wireless charging station
Better get rid of regular chargers altogether so we can make it even slimmer so it breaks easier. And once the wireless charging unit is fucked, they can't even charge the phone. GENIUS!

So what happens when your phone craps out and the only way to fix it is to reset the phone?

Or some other bullshit problem that needs the home button. [spoiler]AND THE TOUCH SCREEN ISN'T WORKING[/spoiler]

>>56272484
for those too lazy to read

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention pertains to an integrated sensing display. The integrated sensing display includes both display elements and image sensing elements. As a result, the integrated sensing device can not only output images (e.g., as a display) but also input images (e.g., as a camera).

In the same way, except that you blast kilowatts of energy into empty space so it can be induced into random shit in your house and have your phone pick up 0.5% of it so you can feel cool. Just like regular wireless but with 100 times as much range for 100^3 times as much power.

Hopefully they get rid of the fuckhuge bezels on the top and bottom on the phone.

I'd argue that the back button is more or less unneeded. Most applications have ways to go back built in

>I'd argue that the back button is more or less unneeded.
Spend a week with a dedicated back and options button - it is so much simpler and user friendly.
>Most applications have ways to go back built in
I have an iPhone 6S (work phone) - it is alarmingly inconsistent which applications have a back or cancel button and its placement on the screen.

With android I can just instinctively hit the back or options button without hunting for the back button, or trying to summon a daemon with a weird combination of finger movements.

Take iMail for example - try to add multiple photos at once - you can't.
You have to long press the screen to bring up a tiny fucking menu, click the next page button that is approximately 10px tall and wide, then click insert photo/attachment, browse to the photo and pick only one at a time.

There is a work around, using the photos application, you can select multiple photos to share via email, but that's as bass-ackwards as it gets.

On android I can just click my options button, add an attachment and add as many photos as I want at once.
iPhone usability has really fallen by the wayside.

ffs everyone and their mother is going to get a case, so this "no bezel" gimmick is useless. just like when they make every new model 10% thinner.

You do realize OLEDs now have better color accuracy than LCD right? Most OLEDs look like shit cause the saturation is turned way the fuck up so retards think the colors pop. Thankfully there's sRGB mode.

Also, it's pretty much confirmed that Apple will be using Samsung supplied OLED screens in the 2017 iPhone so I wouldn't shit on the tech too much.

>>56275891
Outdated information is outdated. OLED screens are now the most accurate, second to none. Apple would have to be insane to ignore it any longer.

"Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying."

>>56277250
Why would they be insane to ignore it? It's not like their customer base will switch to something else just because Apple is using an inferior display tech, which they have been for at least 2 years now. Apple could stick with it for another 5 years and Applefags would still say it's the best display even when objectively untrue.

The truth is Apple is switching to OLED simply because OLED manufacturing costs are now at or below that of LCD.

I personally can't wait for Apple to be invent OLED displays in 2017.

>>56277338
>It's not like their customer base will switch to something else just because Apple is using an inferior display
Anecdote time: At work a while back, I was checking our system for some information with a coworker looking in because his iPhone screen is broken. His reaction, unprovoked, was
>Holy shit that's a good screen, maybe I should get one of those
Ultimately he settled on fixing his old phone due to the cost but people are starting to notice. The phone stores are using it as a sales point even.
