If Apple sticks to its standard September announcement schedule, we'll finally know all the juicy details about the new 2017 iPhones within six weeks or so. In the meantime,
the leaks and rumors are hitting fever pitch.
And in the past week, we've gotten two big indicators from Apple itself: one official, and one amazing leak
Apple's quarterly earnings, announced Tuesday, were the usual chronicle of gobs of cash coming in. But the big news was the forward-looking forecast: Apple guided at or above expectations, which investors took as a big green light. Despite the long-swirling rumors to the contrary, the next wave of iPhones does not appear to be delayed -- or not significantly so, in any event. That suggests a traditional September announcement -- and release -- is effectively on schedule, since Apple's current quarter ends at the end of that month.
Unofficially, meanwhile, Apple spilled some major beans. A couple of inquisitive iOS developers, working from a beta firmware of the HomePod smart speaker that Apple apparently posted on an open server, have managed to reverse-engineer a lot of information about the forthcoming iPhones, including what appears to be the all-screen redesign, shown here.
As always, nothing is official until it's official. As we count down the days until the big introduction, we'll continue to assemble the most significant iPhone 8 rumors below.
