Apple recently launched its latest flagship iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. However, everyone already seems to be talking about the next model.
There is a lot of speculation regarding the next flagship that is taking the rounds especially given the fact that Apple will celebrating its 10th anniversary with iPhone 8 and the company is planning a major design and speculations overhaul with the launch of the same.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the company will especially be focusing on improving the camera features with the iPhone 8. According to him, Apple will be opting for a dual optical image stabilization along with a significantly upgraded telephoto lens and dual OIS.
‘We believe Apple will add OIS function to the telephoto CCM in order to enhance the selling points of new year’s new iPhone. We think photo quality and optical zoom range may both improve as a result,’ Kuo said.
‘We expect the telephoto lens will be redesigned to support OIS in the telephoto CCM, with challenges likely coming from: 1) the need to increase the image circle of the telephoto lens, which will lead to longer calibration time and a more complex assembly processes, 2) a redesign of the telephoto lens, as an increased image circle will result in degraded photo quality around the corner,’ he added.
If rumors are believed to be true, Apple is planning on launching 3 different iPhone models next year. There is a speculation that Apple may introduce a new 5.8-inch iPhone featuring OLED display as default.
