What People Are Saying About the iPhone 8
Release date: It is speculated that iPhone 8 will be released by September 2017 with a totally new design. This date was picked because previous series were revealed between 7th -12th of September and released between 16th-21th of September. The iPhone 8 is not expected to be different.
