Apple Inc. is rumored to be developing the most innovative Smartphone same as that was seen during the early stage of iPhone development i.e. during the introduction of iPhone to the tech market which changed the whole mobile industry. Enthusiasts are expecting exactly similar in the development of Phone 8.

The upcoming iPhone 8 has already seen a bunch of rumors and speculations, the latest being that the device could have an all-glass front and back held together by a stainless steel frame.

According to Digi Times, it is reported that the new iPhone 8 will leave way of it current aluminum cover design. It will move towards a new design which includes two reinforced glass panes and a metal frame in the middle.

The new rumor of the expected iPhone 8 design matches KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's report way back in April 2016. It stated that Apple will not use aluminum or plastic in 2017.

"The next-generation iPhone is expected to abandon its conventional aluminum back cover design and will adopt a new design using two reinforced glass panes and a metal frame in the middle. The metal bezel will be made of stainless steel using a forging process to enhance its sturdiness and reduce costs and manufacturing time."

It is also reported that the new components would be ordered from Foxconn electronics US-based Jabil - firms who worked with Apple in creating the iPhone 4, reports 9To5Mac. Based on the order, it can be predicted that the new iPhone 8 chassis will be made of forged stainless steel which involves squeezing a metal alloy between two halves of a mold to form a finished part.

It is also mentioned in the report that the resulting component has a better structural rigidity than other manufacturing processes. The steel frame forging process would be 30-50 percent cheaper than the current unibody CNC machine process.

Apple iPhone 8 is expected to embrace Octa-core processing for the first time along with the upgraded RAM either to 3 GB or even 8 GB and no rumors are yet on the storage. There are chances that Apple might stick to the same 256GB storage.
