iPhone 8: Breakthrough leaks?

Special thanks go directly to Apple for this latest iPhone 8 rumor! šŸ˜‰

Bad news is someone or maybe a whole team in Apple is in hot water after the web exploded with the leaks coming from them.Ā Good news is: we benefit from confirmed information! Read on to learnĀ more. šŸ˜‰

Apple leaked iPhone 8 data?

Well, Apple pushed out the firmware for the $349 HomePod surprisingly way ahead of its release in December. (Fun fact: itā€™ll run on iOS 11.0.2, currently two patches ahead of whatā€™s available for the public.)

So far 2 developers took the opportunity to check out the code. Little did they know, theyā€™ll be discovering gold nuggets on the iPhone 8.

What did they discover? ā€œPearl and D22ā€

Face Recognition may certainly be a go for the iPhone 8. Steve Troughton-Smith discovered code name ā€œPearlā€ along with the lines of: BKFaceDetectOperation, settooCloseToCamera and setTooFarFromCamera to name a few. With all of the rumored trouble Apple was having with integrating Touch ID into the iPhone 8 screen, it appears that face recognition will take its place.

He also found mentions itā€™ll be using infrared camera which is more user friendly since it works well in low-light situations, compared to ones used in Galaxy S8 and likes.

While Guilherme Rambo found code name ā€œD22ā€ and rendered the phone icon available for it:

Looks pretty familiar right? šŸ˜‰

 

No new leaks on the price?

Unfortunately, none coming from the horseā€™s mouth on that, although rumors are still at $1,000 to $1,400.

No going back with the $1,000 price range?
