iPhone 8 to launch in October or November without White Bezel option.JPG

According to a new report from Mac Otakara, via AppleInsider, sources in Apple’s Asian supply chain have said that Apple will announce the iPhone 8 in September, along with the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. However, unlike the latter two models, the iPhone 8 is not now expected to be available until October or November.

The source also says that supplies of the iPhone 8 will be limited even when it is finally available. This is something that has been widely rumoured for months, but the rumours are starting to look increasingly solid.

One rumour from this source that hasn't been heard before is that the iPhone 8’s front frame will only be available in black. This is thought to have something to do with the way in which the phone’s cover glass is bonded onto the display and bezels. Something similar actually happened with the iPhone 4 back in 2010, when the white version was delayed almost a year due to problems with the painting inks and methods.
