As we push into the summer, credible rumors are hinting at Apple’s plans. The company’s confirmed several software updates for the fall and we expect to be joined by brand new flagship iPhone.

Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a high-end flagship iPhone 8 alongside its iOS 11, watchOS 4, and macOS High Sierra updates.

To help you get started, we’ve put together some early tips for prospective iPhone 8 buyers. If you take these steps before the iPhone 8 release, you’ll be in good shape once iPhone 8 pre-orders begin.
