Apple as of late sent the world in confusion when it dumped the conventional 3.5mm audio jack and replaced it with Bluetooth-controlled headphones called earpods. Now, the iPhone 8, or the Tenth Anniversary Edition of the top rated cell phone, is supposed to present another huge change.

Goodbye to the Home Button?

A report from BGR stated that Apple has recently been granted a patent that depicts a method for setting a button with fingerprinting filtering capacities under the screen. This implies the notorious home button will soon run out of business. 

The credibility of this capacity might be too a long way from reality, but with how Apple built up the 3D address the iPhone 6S, this is not hard to accept. 

The Thing About Lightning Ports

Forbes came out with a patent rewarded to Apple which has an opening not quite visible to the human eye.

The patent specifies "an optical connector that provides and/or receives optical signals through openings or perforations formed at an external surface of the electronic device. These openings can serve as the interface of the optical connector through which the electronic device can engage in one-way or two-way communication with corresponding optical connectors of other electronic devices." 

This can imply that future iPhones won't require links and ports with a specific end goal to exchange information from and to. Furthermore, with Apple most likely adjusting the remote charging innovation, the 30-stick lightning port would be of no use at all. Since the audio jack is gone, the other opening an iPhone has on its body is the lightning port. It would not be quite a bit of an astonish if the Apple originators choose to expel it. 

With the huge, possible changes lined up in the next iPhone, Apple is moving toward its end goal of innovation with subtle design - a sackful of surprises.
