The hardware for the iPhone 8 will also be developed in the Israel office. The unnamed employee who allegedly works for Apple spoke with Business Insider and claimed that they specifically mentioned the device to be the iPhone 8.
BGR noted that Apple has over 800 employees in their Israel office after it was set up in 2012 when the company bought flash memory designer Anobit and PrimeSense 3D sensor developer in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Apple may be using these companies to add more advanced hardware and features to their iPhone 8.
The outlet noted that Apple takes two years to develop their iPhones. This means that the iPhone 8 may not surface until 2018. However, Apple may be releasing another of their iconic handset by 2017 called the iPhone 7s which will allegedly be an upgraded version of the current iPhone 7 line.
It was also noted that Apple will be celebrating 10 years of their iPhone next year so there is reason to believe that they will be calling their new iPhone with something that starts with a number.

The source said that the iPhone 8 will allegedly have new and improved features. The handset will reportedly have a better camera than the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. They did not confirm if the iPhone 8 will have an edgeless display, a ceramic body or a glass back as earlier rumors of the phone suggest, CNET noted.
There have been other reports saying that the iPhone 8 may possibly have no more physical Home Button and it will have a wireless-charging feature. Another report stated that Apple may integrate the Touch ID and camera in the display of the handset.
