'iPhone Edition' Said to Have Polished Stainless Steel Frame Similar to Apple Watch, Vertical Camera for VRApple's widely rumored iPhone with an OLED display will feature a polished stainless steel enclosure sandwiched between front and back glass, says Japanese blog
Mac Otakara. That's the same iPhone 4-like design that reliable Apple analyst
Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities has
expected since last year.

The blog claims the so-called "iPhone Edition" will use an improved version of the Apple Watch's stainless steel enclosure. It also says the smartphone, more commonly dubbed "
iPhone 8" for now, will have a conventionally
flat OLED display with 2.5D cover glass along the edges, as rumored previously.
As seen in a
few renders over the past few weeks, the report claims the "iPhone Edition" will be equipped with a
vertically-aligned iSight Duo camera on the rear for VR shooting purposes. Accordingly, when the iPhone is used in a VR headset, the cameras would be positioned horizontally as is customary.
Meanwhile, the tentatively named
iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus are expected to be slightly thicker than the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, meaning that some existing cases and accessories might not fit the newer models. From a cosmetic standpoint, however, those smartphones are expected to look similar.
