iPhone 8 Said to Have 3GB of RAM and 64GB/256GB Storage Options

The widely rumored 5.8-inch iPhone with an edge-to-edge OLED display will match the iPhone 7 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/) Plus with 3GB of RAM and come in two storage options, 64GB and 256GB, according to Chinese research firm TrendForce (http://press.trendforce.com/node/view/2759.html).

The report, which outlines several already-rumored features, added that the so-called "iPhone 8 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/)" will not have a fully curved display due to production and drop test issues with 3D glass. Instead, the high-end device will adopt the same slightly curved 2.5D cover glass used since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in 2014.





TrendForce said Apple will remove the Home button (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/25/apple-to-eliminate-home-button-in-2017-iphone/) on the iPhone, as widely rumored, and integrate the related functions into the display. If that fact is accurate, it suggests rumored 3D facial recognition capabilities (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/21/upcoming-oled-iphone-camera/) could supplement (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/21/apple-touch-id-facial-recognition-iphone-8/) rather than fully replace Touch ID (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/16/iphone-3d-laser-scanner-facial-recognition/), which could be embedded into the display (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/05/11/2017-iphone-edge-to-edge-display/).





TrendForce itself expects the "iPhone 8" to incorporate 3D sensing technology that can be used for facial recognition and augmented reality features.





The research note said the 5.8-inch iPhone will be accompanied by updated 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models with LCD displays. The 5.5-inch model will allegedly have the same 3GB of RAM as the iPhone 7 Plus, while the 4.7-inch model is said to have 2GB of RAM. Both models are expected to include up to 256GB of storage.





Rumors are generally shaping up to suggest the 5.8-inch iPhone with an OLED display will be a significant upgrade, but the model could cost upwards of $1,000 (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/08/2017-iphone-8-1000-plus/) in the United States. Meanwhile, the new 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch models are expected to be iterative but less expensive upgrades to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.





Last year, TrendForce accurately predicted the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus would be available in 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/01/iphone-7-storage-32gb-64gb-256gb/) storage capacities.
