The iPhone 8 design allegedly leaked
A mock-up of the
wide-rumored iPhone 8 appeared and it allegedly reveals the final design of the
phone. The phone will have no home button at all, and the fingerprint scanner
is going to be implemented under the screen.
The leaked images show a dummy of the iPhone 8 that is reportedly built with the parts and components that the actual device will sport. We see a vertically-positioned dual camera setup on the back in the upper left corner; the volume rocker is on the left, and the power button is on the right, as is customary for Apple.
The front is again covered by a glass with
2.5D curved edges, but not the panel underneath it is reportedly OLED instead
of LCD. The leaked images don't give us any information about that, but earlier
insider reports have suggested Apple struck a deal for the delivery of some 200
million OLED panels.
Looking at the bottom, there is once again no
3.5mm connector. The speakers are accompanied by a Lightning port.
These photos also show a metallic rim around
the device, reminiscing of the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4s.
Apple usually unveils its new iPhone in
September, but rumors say the actual launch may be postponed until late fall
this time around because the placement of the fingerprint scanner under the
front glass is proving more challenging than expected and this may slow down
the manufacturing process.
