If reports are to be believed, then Apple is currently working on a larger display version of the iPhone 8. The iPhone 8 will be the tenth anniversary iPhone as the first one was released in 2007.

According to a report by the Indian Express, Apple is planning to introduce the iPhone 8 in 3 different size options -- 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones with TFT-LCD panels and a 5.8-inch one with an AMOLED display.

The report also stated that rival Samsung will be the exclusive supplier of AMOLED displays for the new iPhone series. The global shipment of the 5.8-inch iPhone 8 is estimated to be at 60-70 million units.

According to some sources, since Samsung could be the AMOLED supplier to the new range of iPhones, there is also the speculation that Apple has placed orders for Samsung to produce curved-plastic OLED displays, which will be wrapped around the edges to create a bezel-less design.

iPhone 8 will sport a wireless charging system similar to the one on Apple Watches and the expected glass body of the iPhone 8 will help achieve faster speeds in wireless charging, believes Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

There are also rumours that Apple will skip the s branding this time.
