Aday ahead of the launch of the iPhone 8 there has been a major leak of features, including the anticipated name of Apple's latest iPhone. The upcoming smartphone is expected to be a radical change for the company, which will seek to wow users for the 10th anniversary of the device. 

The latest leaks suggest the new phone will actually be called the iPhone X and will include wireless charging, facial recognition, an edge-to-edge display and - for the first time - no home button. Apple is expected to release the device alongside two other phones, called the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. 

Here's everything you need to know about the iPhone X release. 

When will it be released?

Tim Cook is expected to unveil the iPhone 8 at an event in California on September 12. In August the company sent invitations out to journalists inviting them to an event at its new Apple Park headquarters at 10am Eastern Time (6pm UK time)

Tradition dictates the devices will go on sale a week after their announcement, making it likely the iPhone 8 will be available for pre-order on September 15 and hit stores on Friday September 22.
