Apple iPhone 8 launch confirmed for September 12

Apple has finally unveiled a date for the launch of their iPhone 8. The 10th Anniversary iPhone is set to launch on September 12. So far, there have been many rumours surrounding the Apple iPhone 8 and its much-anticipated features.
This launch is going to be the first ever event in Steve Jobs Theatre, which probably means that iPhone 8 is a direct tribute to Apple’s founding father, Steve Jobs. Apple has posted on their website about an ‘Apple Special Event’ which leads us to be sure that this will be the launch of iPhone 8.

Apple iPhone 8 Expected Specifications


Since the iPhone 8 is not announced yet and there are many Apple fans eagerly waiting for it’s arrival, the road to its launch has been full of rumours. Here we’re going to highlight the some of the rumored specifications about the iPhone 8.
Starting with the display, the tenth-anniversary iPhone is expected to come with a 5.8-inch OLED panel. We can be sure about this because Apple placed an order for OLED displays a few months back.
Coming to optics, you may get more than just a regular camera on the iPhone 8. While renders show a vertically set Dual camera setup at the back, the iPhone 8 is expected to come with Facial Recognition (FaceID) on the front camera.
At the heart of this iPhone will sit an Apple A11 processor. We can say so because Apple has upgraded the processor to every iPhone, so the iPhone 8 should feature a faster, more refined A11 chipset. Also, we may see 3GB or higher RAM with up to 512GB internal storage on the iPhone 8.
With iOS 11, the Apple iPhone 8 will bring a lot of new features integrated into an upgraded hardware. While we may see the ARKit in play here, the iPhone 8 is also rumoured to replaced the physical button with an on-screen pressure sensitive one. Leaks indicate at a design that stretches the iPhone’s display all the way to the top (like the Essential Phone).

HTC’s glory days are well in the past, but the Taiwanese company is trying to stay relevant in the smartphone world. As spotted by a vigilant Twitter user, the Desire 20 Pro has been certified at NCC and Google Play Support. Previously the same phone appeared on Geekbench and in leaked schematics . The Google Play Support page mentions the same HTC 2Q9J1000 model number we saw earlier. Seeing how this is a Pro there is likely to be a vanilla version in the pipeline as well, but we haven't heard anything about it. HTC Desire 20 Pro certifications When the phones eventually arrive, they will be a follow-up of the Desire 19 lineup that brought us the Desire 19s and Desire 19+ . Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...

IDC: Global smartphone shipments to decline by 12% in 2020

The latest predictions from analysts IDC concerns the global smartphone shipments and they sound properly grim. Total shipments for 2020 are expected to reach 1.2 billion units which would be an 11.9% decline compared to 2019. The new estimate is based on the Q1 shipment results which saw the largest decline in smartphone sales in the history of IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker at -14.5%. Looking at the first half of 2020, IDC predicts an 18.2% decline in shipments due to lowered consumer spending. According to IDC’s Sangeetika Srivastava, the main issue now is a lack of demand on behalf of consumers.
