iPhone 8 it will be released in the fall of this year, and almost all the rumors that have appeared so far suggest that its screen will have a diagonal of 5.8 inches. The rumors appeared a few months ago and were most likely based on Apple's desire to generate interest in the iPhone 8, so it began to divulge some details regarding the future of its smartphone.
Although many have said that the iPhone 8 screen will be 5.8 inches, there have been voices that have said that it will actually be 5.7 inches, and a new sketch that appeared today seems to suggest the same. You can see that it measures the diagonal of the screen from one edge to the other, having 143.77 millimeters, or 5.66 inches, and that's about what we can expect from the iPhone 8 screen.
If the diagonal of the screen will be this, then Apple will present the iPhone 8 screen as having a diagonal of 5.7 inches and not 5.8 inches, those 0.1 inches being able to count for the experience. If the iPhone 8 screen will be 5.7 inches, then it will be smaller than that of the Samsung Galaxy S8, and this will matter in many comparisons, but not much for use.
iPhone 8 - here's what diagonal the screen will have
You can notice that the iPhone 8 screen will have very curved edges, but it will be cut in the upper part in the area where we will find the front camera, proximity and ambient light sensors, plus the speaker. Although it will be cut in that portion, Apple will present the iPhone 8 screen as still having 5.7 inches, and this should be a change that you should get used to by now.
Now if you are wondering how the experience of using iPhone 8 will change with a 5.7 inch screen and screen ratio of 18:9, then the image below should give you an answer. Practically, the iPhone 8 screen should display images on a longer length, a change in resolution also being necessary.
Basically, we will see on the iPhone 8 screen more images in applications regardless of how we use them, and if you have used a Samsung Galaxy S8, then you know what to expect. Of course, at first the applications will have black space displayed in the upper/lower parts of the iPhone 8 screen, as it happened with each diagonal increase, but things will be resolved in time.
These are the big changes that the iPhone 8 screen will bring us, but everything depends on what Apple has prepared.
