Alleged cases designed for upcoming iPhones leaked

Another day, another iPhone leak, this time looking a little bit more legitimate and providing us with a closer look at the dimensions of the upcoming models.

Photos that were published today reveal three different cases that have allegedly been developed for the new iPhone models that Apple would launch this fall, including one which would be called iPhone 8 and come with an OLED screen and other new features.

The other two models are likely to launch as iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus and come with more subtle improvements as compared to the all-new OLED version.

Three iPhones coming

The cases suggest what we already knew about the 2017 iPhone lineup: there will be 3 different models, and the iPhone 8 will be only a little bigger than the existing 4.7-inch version with a vertical dual-camera configuration.

On the other both, both the standard iPhone and the bigger Plus models appear to be just as big as the current models, with no notable change in terms of design suggested by this leak. On the other hand, previous rumors pointed that Apple could also offer wireless charging on the iPhone 7s Plus, though the design will remain mostly the same.

One of the cases for the iPhone 8 come with a side cutout that appears to have the size of a typical SIM tray, though it doesn’t make sense for a case to have a SIM cutout. So either the case was created specifically with the purpose of teasing, or the manufacturer took the awkward decision to create a SIM cutout to easily access the SIM card.

There’s also a third scenario, which on the other hand is more unlikely, that the cutout has actually been created for the power button, which more recently has been rumored to include a fingerprint scanner instead of Apple placing it under the display or on the back of iPhone.

As far as dimensions go, the new OLED iPhone will be only slightly bigger than the existing standard iPhone, but thanks to the narrow bezels, Apple would be able to fit in a larger display in nearly the same body.
