According to an image published by iDrop, that quotes Apple sources in the know of things, the upcoming Apple iPhone 8 will be called 'iPhone Edition' and will pack a vertical dual camera just like the recently released Micromax Dual 5 smartphone. The only difference is that the camera in the Micromax phone is at the centre of the rear panel.
