Interesting if true:

Apple’s upcoming OLED-based iPhone 8 won’t start shipping out to buyers until October or early November, sources said, adding that its much larger Power button that appears on leaked CAD drawings won’t integrate Touch ID functions as some have suspected.

That’s the gist of today’s report from the fairly reliable Japanese blog Mac Otakara.

According to the machine-translated version of the original article, sources expect the iterative iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus updates to start shipping out to customers in September.

A source who saw iPhone 8’s front display part said Apple may only release the phone in black.

The device may pack in a few new front-facing sensors, including 3D sensors for augmented reality, 3D mapping, advanced facial recognition and other features, while the selfie camera is said to be relocated to the right side.
