The iPhone 8, which will be launched next year, is said to have some big changes. The shift to OLED screens would be the most exciting. According to reports from MacRumors, Apple suppliers are facing production issues. Hence the Cupertino giant might abandon OLED display plans for all models of iPhone 8 and stick to the premium model.

Four main suppliers - LG, Sharp, Samsung and Japan Display are refusing to produce OLED on large scale to create screens for all new iPhone models that are arriving next year. These suppliers confirmed that production issues may continue until 2018.

Apple will not be able to introduce OLED screens in all the iPhone 8 models in case the production capacity is not met. Apple has signed a deal with Samsung for one million OLED displays but it is not sure whether Samsung will be able to fulfill the demand.

Apple might embed the OLED display in just one premium model while the other models may have to stick to traditional LCD display screens.

It is also believed that the iPhone 8 will sport an all-glass back with an edge to edge curved display screen and it will have a virtual home button.

Apart from this the iPhone 8 will be equipped with advanced wireless charging technology. Hence, the iPhone would be charged without the need for a charging plate. This device may have a new A11 processor and a new touch ID screen.

It was speculated that Apple will launch three iPhone 8 models but the company will give much preference to the 5.5-inch version. It is also speculated that Apple might bump up the screen size up to 5.8 inches for the phablet-sized version.

The iPhone 8 family will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone in 2017. Hence, the company is expected to incorporate some radical changes in the iPhone 8.
