5.8-inch OLED iPhone 8 to have a stainless steel frame and glass back, iPhone 7s keeps aluminum

14 February 2017
Today's iPhone rumor goes into some more detail about the chassis materials for the three expected models.

Sort by:

Stainless steel frame will go great with the Apple Watch Edition. Apple is positioning itself to be a force in the fashion world. For once tech isn't geeky.

              It can never match the sexy 'curves' of galaxy edge series. iphone looks ugly nowadays and this one seems like a bigger iPhone 4 with oled display still behind the curved super amoled and wireless charging which is already present in phones since a couple of years.

                Lol looks like the iPhone 8 will be easiest brick able one ever.

                    Only frame or chassis? If chassis is also stainless steel then it'll be a heavy one, and I like that feel . Just saying, as ios is not for me. Hope some android manufacturer makes similar looking phone with Android (with same quality) probably Oppo if so. I once liked iPhone 6 design in 2014 so I bought HTC A9. Though I'd be happier if it had better chipset. I also like looks of other iPhone wannabe like R9 and it actually looks better.

                      We're waiting for other manufacturer to have stainless frame model. Nikoa n97 has this long time ago..

                        Will they release iPhone 7s/7s Plus? // When iPhone 7 already came with IP67, the iPhone 7s/7S Plus will come with IP68. The number 8 is pretty expensive and will cost you another extra $100. LOL
