Speculations spread regarding the changes and innovations related to the highly anticipated iPhone 8 over amid the sluggish sales of iPhones in this period.
Relatively, Apple announced its plan to lessen the production of iPhone 6s and iPhone6 plus by 30 percent after its recent quarterly earnings report due to the expected slow down of sales.

Are we expecting an all glass iPhone 8?
Apple is expected to turn back on its glass backed design for its next iPhone. An infamous tech analyst strongly claimed that the tech juggernaut will dispose the legendary aluminum casing.
The analyst explained that the company will be more strongly motivated to use non-aluminum casings in 2017 in a bid to enhance the competitiveness of iPhone by offering an all new form factor design.
Aside from the all glass enclosure, the new model of iPhone is believed to have an Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode or AMOLED display panel. The shipment of the smartphones with AMOLED display has increased by 54 percent.
“A glass casing may be slightly heavier than an aluminum one of the same thickness, but the difference is so small that the use of the thinner and lighter AMOLED panel will compensate for that” the analyst added.
A senior director of IHS Technology revealed that since the interest of Apple with AMOLED, other companies such as Japan Display and Sharp disclosed their plan to invest in this type of display technology by 2018.
