iPhone 8’s Status Bar Could Be More ‘Powerful’

Many are probably wondering what Apple will change in the design of the iPhone 8, and it seems that Apple recently confirmed the designed themselves thanks to a drawing discovered in the firmware for the HomePod speakers. The drawing confirms what we had previously seen, which is a full screen iPhone with a “notch” at the top part of the phone.

The notch is where the earpiece, front-facing camera, and other sensors will be house in, and while we suppose it makes sense for it to be placed there, the notch does create a weird design and might even interfere with how apps are run on the phone, but apparently Apple has already thought about this and might actually have a solution for it, according to developer Steve Troughton-Smith.

According to Troughton-Smith, it seems that Apple has redesigned the status bar of the iPhone 8 and will apparently be more “powerful” in terms of design, whatever that means. It has also been suggested that the status bar has been purposely split, which could offer up a different approach for the status bar which apart from new icons, has remained largely unchanged over the years.

In any case we guess we’ll probably have to wait until some time in September before we can get the official details, but in the meantime what kind of changes or improvements do you think Apple could make to its status bar?
