Apple is going to celebrate its ten-year anniversary with its iPhone devices next year, and as such, there are reports saying that the Cupertino tech-giant will mark the special occasion with the unveiling of the anticipated iPhone 8. Rumors say that the new device is going to have a complete make over, with the phone emerging as a completely redesigned device.

According to the University Herald, the iPhone 8 is going to be the most impressive iPhone released yet, crafted in such a way that befits the ten-year celebration for the device. After all, for the past three years, Apple retained the design for its iPhones, starting with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and the current iPhone 7.

However, the iPhone 8 — once it gets released in the market — will allegedly be unlike anything tech enthusiasts have ever seen before.

Some rumors also indicate that the next iPhone will be like a clear pane of glass equipped with the next generation of OLED screens. The iPhone 8 could even be popped into a headset packed with an eye sensor that enables the device to have a higher frame rate and polygon count as compared to a PC equipped with the Nvidia 1080 GPU on it.

Another rumored feature of the iPhone 8 is its next-generation 3D sensor from Primesense, an Israel-based 3D sensing company bought by Apple. It is speculated that at least 600 engineers are working for the company just to make the sensor, making it the first product to be introduced in the company's new headquarters.

Meanwhile, according to Mashable, the iPhone 8 will come in three variants: a 4.7-inch, a 5-inch, and a 5.5-inch model. This is actually the first time that the company will release a 5-inch model for their iPhones, and as fans can remember ever since the iPhone 6, Apple has only released two "flagship" iPhones during fall.
