iPhone 8 second request filed under Class 45

On the other hand, the second request was filed under International Class 45, which covers personal services. It also provides consumer-centric information for both online and in real life. This signals the fact that the upcoming iPhone 8 will ship with massive features not found in the previous counterparts.

One of the trademark filings was filed under International Class 9 which covers everything under the sun.

Meanwhile, Apple declined to reveal any information about the filing. Apple is planning to launch another launch event in October, where iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus will be released in India and other countries not covered in the first and second phases. According to industry analysts, the second launch event will also witness the arrival of new variants of the MacBook.

When the recently released iPhone 7 has not hit the retail stores in few countries like India, Apple is gearing up for the release of iPhone 8.
