Apple’s actual iPhone 8 design may have just leaked for the first time

Postby Jacob Black » 25 Apr 2017 10:10

Answering the prayers of anyone dreading the prospect of an iPhone 8 with a Touch ID sensor on the back, Benjamin Geskin over the weekend took to Twitter to publish a series of new photos purporting to represent a CNC model of a dummy iPhone 8. While we’ve seen some interesting iPhone 8 concepts over the past few weeks, some of which have been based on information allegedly sourced from genuine schematics, the photos below arguably give us our first real glimpse at what the iPhone 8 is actually going to look like.

The device itself looks incredibly sleek with minimal bezels surrounding the display. Dimension-wise, Geskin relays that the bezels check in at just 4mm. In effect, the iPhone 8 features an immersive display that’s effectively comprised of one giant piece of glass, a design Jony Ive has reportedly envisioned for the iPhone for years.

The only cut in the display is for the earpiece, seemingly confirming previous reports that Apple figured out a way to seamlessly embed the Touch ID sensor into the display and conceal the front-facing camera.

As for the iPhone 8 release date, well, that’s really anybody’s guess. While Apple would obviously like to release the iPhone 8 alongside the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus in September, various sources over the last few weeks have said that the iPhone 8 release date may come a few weeks later than we’re accustomed to, with an October to November launch window apparently being a distinct possibility.

As a final point, there’s a good chance Apple’s 2017 flagship iPhone won’t even be called the iPhone 8. Indeed, we’ve seen indications that the device might be dubbed the iPhone Edition. Interestingly, famed Apple marketer Ken Segall recently said that Apple might be wise to skip the “iPhone 7s” naming scheme altogether and instead adopt the following nomenclature for its 2017 iPhone lineup.
