14 DAY TRIAL // We’re only a few weeks away from the eagerly-anticipated launch of the iPhone 8, and here’s another leak allegedly revealing some of the device’s internals.
This time, the leaked photos do not reveal anything new, but they do confirm some of the details that were spotted in other unofficial photos claiming to show the upcoming iPhone 8.
For example, the display assembly does show that Apple plans to give up on the Home button entirely, going instead for what could be a fingerprint sensor embedded into the display or face recognition exclusively. The leaked panel comes with a sensor bar at the top, with the facial recognition cameras expected to be installed here as well, just next to the front-facing camera used for FaceTime and selfies.
As big as an iPhone 8 despite the larger screen
Additionally, today’s leak also reveals some of the flex cables that will be used for power transfer and the Lightning connector, as well as the iPhone 8 next to what appears to be an iPhone 7.
If this is indeed the case, then it looks like the iPhone 8 will have nearly the same dimensions as the iPhone 7, though it will actually boast a much bigger display. This is possible mostly thanks to the super-narrow bezels, as Apple is going for an edge-to-edge screen similar to what Samsung is already offering on the Galaxy S8.
The Home button at the bottom is no more, and it’s believed the iPhone 8 would feature a glass body that would enable a series of other features, including wireless charging. Even though Apple has been said to be working on an innovating charging system that would work across the room, there’s a good chance the iPhone 8 would recharge with a traditional charging plate like Samsung’s models.
Everything about the iPhone 8 will be unveiled in just a few weeks, as Apple is likely to take the wraps off the 2017 device lineup in September.
