The Apple iPhone 8 has just leaked in a number of renders and images, confirming the rumors regarding the vertical dual-camera setup on the back and the OLED display which covers the front panel. The images were posted by SlashLeaks and Benjamin Geskin.

The leaked schematics reveal an elongated power button and vertical dual-camera setup on the back. The phone lacks a physical home button in the front, while the orange outline shown in the schematics appears to trace the actual screen on the new phone.

The schematics reveal that the iPhone 8 will come with a bezel-less display, while the front camera, earpiece and sensors will be featured at the top. Moreover, the screen appears to be slightly cut out at the top, which reveals a new design compared to the previous rectangular screen.

Apple is expected to integrate the Touch ID underneath the display

The iPhone 8 is also expected to come with a 3D sensing camera at the top and wireless charging, just like the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. The phone will most likely run iOS 11 out of the box and include the latest A11 chip. The images also show the LED flash placed between the two lenses on the back, while the circle on the back panel indicates the position of the Apple logo.

Recent reports say that Apple intends to incorporate a new Touch ID technology underneath the display, allowing users to simply place their finger on the OLED screen and unlock the iPhone 8. The new iPhone 8 is expected to arrive this fall, together with successors to last year’s iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Although the new phone will be announced in September, some reports say that mass production might not begin until October or November. Still, Apple will offer the other two iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus on schedule. The phones will come with LCD screens and physical home buttons in the front, as well as some new features.
