iPhone 8 release – Apple’s biggest new feature could come at a very high price

All eyes will be on next week when the US technology firm finally reveals its all-new .

This latest device is expected to be one of the most radically different smartphones the firm has ever released.

Along with a stunning new design, fans can expect to see an improved camera, faster processor and the inclusion of wireless charging.

Longer battery life and securtity via facial/iris recognition, which will unlock the phone simply by looking at it, could also be a headline feature.

However, one of the biggest changes will come in the form a huge edge-to-edge screen which will cover almost the entire front of the phone.

Apple is also thought to be upgrading the iPhone 8 from a Retina display to a full AMOLED screen which should make it the brightest and sharpest ever seen on an Apple device.

Although fans will clearly welcome this new display there could be one issue with this latest technology as it may come at a very high price.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, is speculating that the US technology firm is having to pay around $120-$130 (£90) for each screen to be produced.

It’s thought that this is over double the amount that Apple currently pays for their Retina screens.

Clearly this cost has to be passed on to consumers and it could be one of the reasons why the iPhone 8 is expected to be one of the most expensive ever.

Kuo has also speculated that, due to it being tied to Samsung for its screen production, the US firm “is in urgent need of finding a second source of OLED”.

With most of the competition including LG and Samsung now including OLED technology Apple will clearly want to make sure their popular iPhone keeps up with its rivals.

Some experts are predicting the iPhone will break the $1,000 barrier but all will be revealed on Tuesday.
