On top of that, a 3D selfie camera, which will be integrated with facial recognition as one of its security features will also be introduced.

Apart from that feature, the upcoming iPhone Edition is said to sport a full OLED technology. The highly speculated glass design was also reported to be one of the upcoming phone's feature. Reportedly, Apple will do away with its aging frame and fully have an all-glass design, giving their latest flagship device a sleek look. Moreover, it will also have an L-Shaped battery, and a larger battery pack.

Apple's latest flagship phone speculated to be the iPhone Edition is expected to release in September 2017. Allegedly, this highly advanced smartphone device will sell around $1,000 per unit.
