Tons of features of iPhone 8 📱, iPhone X detailed in leaked iOS 11 build

Another iPhone 8 leak ahead of Apple's fall event next Tuesday when it's official expected to unveil its new flagship products.

One incoming feature that could prove popular with iPhone users - especially if it's not limited to only the very top-of-the-range iPhone model - are animated, 3D emoji characters for iMessage which it says are called Animoji (these are referred to as Jellyfish in iOS 11 release).

A camera-related feature apparently coming to the new premium priced iPhone model is a Portrait Lighting mode for creating "dSLR-like shots", using depth by simulating different lighting effects.

And one of the new reference images apparently shows an SOS mode that can be triggered by pressing what looks like the power and upper volume keys on either side of the iPhone at the same time.

It says there’s also a clue that the power button will play a larger role for interacting with iOS now that Apple is ditching the home button on the OLED iPhone — per earlier rumors.

The side button method is also apparently tied to new Accessibility settings for adjusting the speed of the double and triple click, enabling Type to Siri, and even using Face ID (more on the latter below).

Instead of a home button at the base of the screen, the new premium iPhone 8 is also rumored to be getting a dynamic area/status bar at the bottom of its near bezel-less display.

Last but not least: As well as iPhone tidbids, the iOS 11 GM has leaked what looks to be an image of the new LTE Apple Watch Series 3, which sports a red spot on the digital crown - presumably to help it stand out from existing, non-cellular Apple Watch models.

Other references suggest the watch will share the same phone number as the connected iPhone, as you’d expect. And there are indications some carriers intend to offer promotional plans for the device.

Elsewhere on the other hardware front, there is a minor tweak coming to AirPods, with a revised version number (1.1 to 1.2) and a video suggesting Apple is moving the charging indicator light from insight to the front of the device so you don't have to pop it open to check if your earbuds are juiced up yet.

UCJ, UNILORIN.
