Only a few days separate us from the big event, the Apple conference to announce the iPhone 8, but a surprise happened today, as the latest version of iOS 11 has been leaked, which is the GM version released by Apple on the day of the conference, and this version definitely contains a lot of information about what it will announce. About Apple at the conference, but discovering this information is not easy because developers have to search between the codes for new and features that Apple has not announced. Here is what has been discovered so far...
New wallpapers
16 new wallpapers have been discovered, and it seems that there are exclusive backgrounds for the iPhone 8, the special version, which illustrate the beauty of the colors in the OLED-quality screens, and in some of these backgrounds Apple used the colors of its old logo.
These wallpapers are not animated but rather static wallpapers, most of them are flower, moon, globe and colorful backgrounds.
You can download all wallpapers from the website 9to5mac
IPhone 8 features
The code name of the iPhone 8 is D22, and some features have been discovered in the leaked firmware codes ...
New features in photography
It seems that photography in the iPhone 8 will adopt a greatly improved camera as well as advanced lighting (flash) and can simulate cameras of the quality of DSLR as many patterns were discovered to change the lighting in portrait mode.
The camera's ability to shoot video with great accuracy and a large number of shots was also discovered, such as.. 1080p HD at 240 fps and 4K at 60 fps.
iPhone 8 screen
It was discovered codes indicating that the screen of the iPhone 8 will be of the quality of OLED categorically and will carry the (True Tone) feature provided by Apple before in the iPad Pro, which adjusts the contrast of white color to be more suitable for the surrounding environment. It was discovered that the screen resolution will be 1125 x 2436 pixels. It has also been confirmed that the design of the device will be similar to what was previously discovered in a previous leak of firmware for Apple's home speaker.
The disappearance of the home button
There has been more than one evidence of the disappearance of the home button, and a line has been observed at the bottom of the screen in some applications, and as expected, you will be dragging from this line to get to the home page.
Face ID
Apple will call the face recognition feature (Face ID) and it will be an alternative to the fingerprint ID (Touch ID), where the fingerprint ID will be completely dispensed with. IOS 11 has downloaded an educational video on how to train the facial recognition feature, as it will be similar to the steps for fingerprint recognition, but the user has to look at the device and turn his head to the right, up, left and down, and after the face recognition is completed, he will recognize you alone from any angle, Also, there will be smart features such as turning off the screen lighting when you look away from it and also not turning off the device while looking at the screen.
Side button
As we previously knew that Apple will increase the size of the power button, and it seems that its name will be the power button in the iPhone 8, but rather it will become the side button, and it will not only be used to close and unlock the device, but there will be several uses for it, for example Pressing twice in succession opens the Apple Pay and Cards service, and a long press opens Siri, pressing with the volume up button at the same time activates the emergency system (SOS), and pressing with the lower volume button shuts down the device. An image has been discovered that illustrates some of these properties.
XNUMXD optical sensor
It was discovered that there is a very complex optical or laser sensor for transmission and another for reception, this technology will be the selling point of the iPhone 8, as this sensor will be very advanced in technical terms and Apple will work to employ it in more than one field, including face ID and of course in technology Augmented Reality. This sensor will create a three-dimensional image of the objects.
Animoji
An animated XNUMXD emoji has also been found, and it is believed that it will be used with the Apple Messages application and will allow the user to send an animated emoji by simulating the user's face.
There will be a limited number of emoji for this feature, and this image shows the emoji used with this feature.
Black is the color of the screen
There is certain information that the front screen of the iPhone 8 or the edges will come in a black color only, regardless of the color of the device, whether gold or black. The reason for this is the XNUMXD light sensor that requires the front screen to be black and also for the iPhone to have an edge-to-edge screen appearance.
The new generation of Apple Watch
There are unquestionable indications that Apple will announce at its next conference a few days later the new generation of the Apple Watch, and photos have been found to confirm this.
It is believed that the new generation of Apple Watch will contain 4G data service and it appears that the location of the antenna is the red dot on the watch button. You will also be able to make phone calls directly from the watch without the need for the phone to be connected to it (note in the picture above the presence of the call button in the watch), but the watch will get the same phone number for the iPhone and that is through telecommunications companies. It seems that Apple has made agreements to prepare the matter with telecom companies from a technical point of view, so it is expected that these features will work initially in some countries only.
An improved version of Apple's wireless headphones
It seems that Apple will launch an improved version of the AirPods, as it has been noted that a new version number of the headset (AirPods1,2) and also from the headphone image appears that Apple has placed the charging light outside and not inside the headphone box.
So far, this has been discovered in simple hours, and it is expected that more will be discovered in the coming hours.
