With 10 years of iPhone iterations under its belt, there's immense pressure for Apple to deliver an iPhone 8 with a new design and revolutionary features that'll truly blow people away. 。
One persistent rumor that we keep hearing about is a redesign. The latest supply chain checks from DigiTimes suggest Apple might "adopt a stainless steel forging process" for the iPhone 8's frame to go with its new glass back.。
SEE ALSO:Everything we think we know about the next iPhone 。"The metal bezel will be made of stainless steel using a forging process to enhance its sturdiness and reduce costs and manufacturing time," the report reads. 。
Though not confirmation by any means, the report seems to corroborate previous rumors that claimed the iPhone 8 will hark back to the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S's iconic "glass sandwich" design. 。

Increased durability is cited as the main reason Apple might switch from one metal to another.。
In late September, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has reliable track record when it comes to Apple rumors, said he believed the iPhone 8 could sport a glass back to match the front display and incorporate a stainless steel frame to hold them together. Lower-end models, however, could stick with aluminum. 。

Other potential iPhone 8 features that have bubbled up include a new model with a 5-inch screen that'll sit between the 4.7- and 5.5-inch models, an OLED screen for increased brightness and better color reproduction and a display with curved edges that might resemble the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. 。
But there's more. Apple might also introduce a new red finish, some type of wireless charging (possibly over the air) and maybe an augmented reality element to round out the iPhone 8. 。
