The upcoming 2017 iPhone will feature a 5.8-inch display with 5.15 inches of usable screen space according to new predictions shared by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo believes the iPhone 8 will use a 5.8-inch OLED display panel, but that some space will be reserved for virtual buttons.

As has been rumored, the display is said to take up the entire front panel of the iPhone, effectively eliminating bezels, which means Apple will eliminate both the current Home button and the current Touch ID fingerprint recognition technology used in iPhones.

Size wise, Kuo says the OLED iPhone will have measurements similar to the 4.7-inch iPhone, allowing for one-handed operation. Such a size is possible with a 5.8-inch panel because there will be no extra space outside of the display, as can be seen in the mockup below. It will feature a display similar in size to the 5.5-inch iPhone, but in a 4.7-inch package.

Biggest iPhone 8 leak yet offers several surprising new details

updated first post with details. remember, everything is a rumor for now.
I didn't care to go from the 6S+ to the 7 series but I might go for the 8 if any of that is true.
Sidenote: Although removing the headphone jack was laughed at by many (and still is) I think it's the right move, Apple just may have been a bit early on that wave. I use wireless headphones at work and love the convenience of it. I think in the very near future wireless headphones will be the norm and not the exception like it still is in many cases today.

yea I still have a 6 but I mostly use some LG bluetooths for the convenience. I will probably get the airpods when I upgrade to the 8

i know apple wants to get into AR badly which is why they're planning to design its own graphics chip but i doubt AR and the chip makes it to the iphone 8. getting the software and hardware right takes time and apple typically don't rush into a new market without a lot of R&D.

i'm on the S cycle but might upgrade to the 8 if it looks like the sketch

I may sit this one out unless it's a drastic change and intuitive I could end up sitting out until the S drops.
