Now that Apple held their WWDV at the beginning of June and made a lot of new announcements and reveals, it’s time for leaks to arise. This new mother lode of iPhone leaks comes from Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities (also known as the best Apple analyst on the planet) and his Apple insider counterpart Mark Gurman.
Their work combined resulted in a whopping 25 new features for the iPhone 8, but also the iPhone 7S and the 7S Plus. Let’s see what they are.
