{Rumor} "iPhone 8" - New drawing/rendering leak

whether or not the actual physical thing he's holding is credible, the blueprints they are based on is basically the closest thing to possible reality we have so far. I'm not even acknowledging that stupid ass leak from last week.

Curved glass will be just like the current iphone 7's curved glass. Not samsungs stupid ass shit.
Is it only because of the TouchID location that it's more credible? I don't see why that blueprint is more credible otherwise, it's just a less detailed mockup in the vein of the other, more specific blueprints that have come out recently.

For reference, all of the previous schematics in chronological order:

The pattern of TouchID placement in these purported leaks correlates pretty well with Bloomberg reports of difficulty with TouchID integration into the screen, so I'm inclined to believe these are just following the trend of reports (which are admittedly uncertain as well) moreso than they are breaking anything. I don't think there's much (current) consensus on anything but the vertical camera, screen coverage and sensor placement, but even that's a recent thing from this past month. Add that to the caveat that they may be throwing multiple prototypes out there to muddy waters, and I'm not sure what makes any of these credible anymore.
 
I actually like how the camera looks! Only bad thing would be the front speaker cut on the display, especially considering there's plenty of space above it where it could be put instead...
Also, the leaker said the sides will be black in the final model:

For once I hope the leak turns out to be true
 
Please please let it look like this with curved corner screen, and touch id + camera integrated in the screen

Hope they don't keep it so bulky and copy Galaxy S8 look where it's tall and slim. I really wish there was a possibility to buy a Galaxy S8+ that runs iOS because thats one comfortable sexy phone.
 
I wonder if there'll be a performance difference between a 7S and the 8 or if they'll share internals.

If there's any noticeable performance degradation between the two due to higher resolution these days outside of some limited use-case benchmarks that only people on the Internet will care about, it will be a failure on Apple's part.
 
I like the flat edges aluminium "leak" better than that rounded one. After 3 years of rounded iPhones I thought we were in for a iPhone 4 - 5 revival, guess not (apart from the possible glass sandwich configuration akin to the iPhone 4).

Think that, generally speaking, flat edged design is Apple's sexiest thing, from MacBook Pros to the iMac to the Mac mini and even the iPad 1 back then. Rounded stuff is just so bleh.
 
Looks interesting from the leaks. I wouldn't go back to iOS for it, but nice to see Apple move away from physical buttons or reserved bezel for buttons to challenge their own design paradigms.

I don't think flat hard edges would be comfortable at these bigger sizes to be honest
Wow kinda thick?

It's just a dummy (if even real), and the same leaker says it'll have the same thickness as the 7.
 
Wow kinda thick?

Even though these pieces usually don't fit as well as the final product would be assembled, the aluminum or steel bit alone looks far too thick to seem legitimate IMO. Dunno if whoever made it didn't know better or it's real and still needs more shaving down from the point they got it from, in which case it's possible the sides will be iPhone 5-esque again.
 

To translate the interesting things in this diagram. There are two batteries. Battery A (yellow) and Battery B (orange). There is a wireless charging component (pink). There is a Truetone Flash above the earpiece. 3D cameras on the left and an infrared sensor on the right. The infrared sensor can distinguish living things (that is the literal translation--I think it means it is a thermal camera? Not up to date on use of infrared on phones).
 
If the Touch ID is on the back I'm totally happy with my iPhone 7!

If they somehow managed to integrate it into the screen and not some stupid Touch ID on the back side I totally need the iPhone 8

Battery life on this thing should be insane with two pieces coming from my 5S.

I don't remember any fake leaks regarding the 6 and 7 instead of 5s and 6s, we knew exactly what they were gonna be those years

No idea what you talking about bro

Once they went with S model, i dont remember anyone not expecting a S device. This year all rumours are pointing to a third model. 7S is still happening.
 
Reputable Apple analyst KGI Ming-Chi Kuo has also weighed in today, reporting that mass production of the OLED iPhone will likely be pushed back to October/November, instead of the normal August/September timeframe for new iPhone launches.

KGI says the reason for the production difficulties is that the new iPhone 8 includes several major cutting-edge components that Apple has custom-ordered. The analyst still expects the iterative ‘7S’ models to launch on the normal schedule …


KGI says that a delay of one to two months for the production ramp of iPhone 8 will hurt Apple’s calendar 2017 sales as customers will want to wait for the shiny new device to be available.

don't like the design at all
it's still the same 6 / 7 design language i'm sick of

i thought the iphone 8 / iphone edition should be different and new
 
Would be sweet if they just made the Apple logo on the back the TouchID button.
Please no.

What if the elongated power button is actually power and Touch ID? Or is it too skinny to be an accurate fingerprint reader?
Too skinny I think.

Alternate reality. This makes zero sense.

so no touch ID on the back?
 
So, we're in for an iPhone 7S with a pro and scrub tier?

Sub display TouchID, no bezel, dual camera for the wealthy and rear touchID, a bezel and good-enuff-camera for the serfs?

Also, is wireless charging a standard? If I but one of those Ikea nightstands with a wireless charging area, would the iPhone's wireless tech work on it or is it a complete unknown at this point?

I don't remember if this was the case but I remember the rumors of Apple renaming the product to just iPhone (simiar to their mac and ipad lines) every year, but that never happened.

To everyone wishing a selfie camera behind the screen... how exactly do you expect them to make a light emitting object translucent

Unknown but likely.

There was a rumor or two a while back that this year's iPhone would include long distance wireless charging, like wifi but for charging.

That looks to have fallen through for this year though, as discussed here.
 
Not a fan of glass.

On another note IOS needs a serious revamp!
I got my first iPhone, the 7 last November I like it for the most part aside from Battery and the way iOS operates at times, e.g. the small things such as not being able to download anything you want such as music from websites. But I've got used too it, and I guess the annoyance stems from being used to Android - you take those things for granted until they're taken away :)

However visually iOS is incredibly dated even compared to say Samsungs "Experience" software, If they're not gonna update it visually at least give us options to theme.

Well, I don't know how it works, but that's what the rumours are pointing to. Don't ask me, I'm just a kid.
