Apple's radical new handset won't be the iPhone 8

Apple's eagerly anticipated new iPhone may not be called iPhone 8 after all, it has been claimed. However, Apple will also unveil an iPhone 8 and 8 plus at the event - but these will be lower specced models that were previously expected to be called the 7s and 7s Plus. The firm sent invites to key media for the event, which is also expected to see the launch of an iPhone 7s and 7s Plus, a new version of the Apple Watch and a new 4K Apple TV. It is believed the will lack the edge to edge OLED screen of the edition model, and instead be an upgraded model that looks similar to the existing design. 'One casemaker has updated their internal SKUs based on the information and is actively printing packaging which I was able to see in the form of preliminary artwork,' 9to5mac's Seth Weintraub claims.
