IPhone X, iPhone 8 names appear in Apple software codes

Clarence Schmidt | 10 September, 2017, 10:44

Information like Bluetooth connectivity will appear briefly in an animation on one side of the notch, backing up earlier reports that the iPhone 8's status bar will be contextual in specific situations.

September is the month when Apple's launches the upcoming iPhones to the world and this time it gonna be more special as it is being held at the Steve Jobs secret Theatre in the new Apple campus. Tim Cook will be on stage, and the location will be Apple's brand new campus in Cupertino.

According to 9to5Mac, the iOS 11 GM leak gives a peek into the iPhone 8 and other Apple devices ahead of Tuesday's launch.

The OLED iPhone is also expected to totally ditch the concept of a Home button if favor of a full screen experience and a dynamic area denoted by a line at the bottom of each app.

In addition to the new naming convention for the 10th anniversary iPhone X, the report also discovered what appears to be the official brand name for the widely rumored face-based security feature: "Face ID" (possibly replacing Touch ID as a means to unlock the iPhone).

In the meantime you can catch up on the latest speculation in our iPhone 8 rumours article.

The timing, however, is in sync with Apple's annual launch of new iPhone models and comes as rivals field fresh champions powered by Google's Android.

They will naturally be introduced to the production team later, but with analysts saying that they might come in 2019, Apple might have to charge a premium for future iPhones too. A number of different iPhone names have been floating around for Apple's OLED device, including iPhone Edition, iPhone Pro, and iPhone 8. The sensor would allow the system to identify the user, and could customize functionality accordingly, for example by restricting which TV channels can be viewed when an authorized child is using the remote. Revisiting the Home Button The whole concept of a Home button is going the way of the dodo bird with the iPhone 8.

Flicking or swiping gestures could replace the home button function, enabling the handset face to appear nearly all-screen. Today Apple is seen as needing a fresh spark, whether from the phone itself or from services or other devices like the Apple Watch. Now Apple is using this tech in its iOS for facial recognition.

Besides, the presence of iPhone X was once more stressed upon in a separate leak, where Dutch telecom provider KPN revealed a retail box of the upcoming phone.
