According to Business Insider, the screen will wrap around the edges of the device but it won't feature a curved screen after all.

Everyone thought that it will be called as iPhone 8 since the breakout rumors last year; however, there is a possibility that it will be referred to as iPhone 10 to mark the 10th iPhone anniversary and iPhone 8 will be the iPhone 7s model, MacRumors reported.

On the other hand, the next iPhone is expected to host new exciting features. And the most interesting one is the new display technology using OLED screens which has many benefits such as power efficient and enhanced contrast, brightness and colors, better than what LCD could offer with previous iPhone models.

Furthermore, Apple has reportedly joined an industry group that develops wireless charging standards and thus, speculations suggest that it could be one of the selling points of the next iPhone. Lastly, the presumed iPhone 10 could have similar built with iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s because it is rumored to use glass materials.
