Apple iPhone 8 may feature Face ID, Animoji, Portrait Lighting

New Delhi: With just three days ahead of Apple's launch event, a lot of information is getting leaked online.

While some could take it with just a pinch of salt, for a lot of others it might mean  spoilers.

As per recent leaked reports the upcoming phone will come with something called the Portrait Lighting. The new Camera update could mean that it will use flash when using portrait mode.

Another leaked report suggests that the iPhone 8 might house Face ID – akin to Touch ID. 9to5Mac citing iOS 11 code says that it "performs better when all angles of your face are captured”.

Reports also said that the iPhone 8 will host Animoji – touted as animated emojis. These would be more like personal emojis.

9to5Mac found them to be "3D, animated versions of emoji characters. The Animojis "will use facial tracking and your voice to create expressive animated messages. And yes, there’s a smiling pile of poop," it said.

Fans and investors are eagerly looking forward to the 10th anniversary iPhone 8 launch on September 12 to see whether it will deliver enough new features to spark a new generation to turn to Apple.

The company is widely tipped to adopt higher-resolution OLED displays for the latest iPhone, along with better touchscreen technology and wireless charging - which could come with a USD 1,000 plus price tag.
