Alleged iPhone 8 Schematic Depicts Dual-Lens Vertical Rear Camera, Hints at Wireless Charging

[IJ Reilly]

Hoping for flush cameras

Have to agree, too many of the same articles.

Do not forget iphone 8 dummy model videos lol

We'll get 2-3 of these a week until September so hold on to your butts, everyone.

Because they're talking about overall bezels and the bottom and top ones at the moment are ginormous.

Are we sure the top and bottom ones are also going to be 4mm according to these images? They look bigger at the top.

 

[now i see it]

Definitely a bogus drawing. It serves no purpose (if it was real). No dimensions, no nuthin. It doesn't do anything. A drawing that accomplishes nothing.
Why would an engineer draw this?
FAKE

Blah vertical camera is ugly.

It's only vertical if you're taking portrait photos.

FTS!!! I want 7s RUMORS!!!!

 

[Paul6s]

I bet we can't wait for the pre order day just to see the shipment pushed to November or December and then you have to see the dreaded words " PROCESSING ITEMS " in your order status for the next two months or so and While in the mean time a friend of yours will tell you that he or she just recently preordered the phone from Verizon and will get it in a week. Lmaoooooooooo!

Touch ID on the back eh hmmmm..... don't think I'd want that on a smaller device. And I see the screen size has now shrunk from the widely rumoured 5.8" to 5.5" then. Could be an interesting design.

Their is no iPhone 7S, it will be the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Otherwise you would have heard something by now..

What's a single advantage of a proprietary wireless charging system over the existing one again?

We don't know yet as it hasn't been announced. I'd say wireless charging at all is an advantage for some, but personally I don't find it as a huge selling point.

If this phone comes to life it's going to be huge. Absolutely revolutionary. Best combination of style and functionality.

exactly.

the 7 Plus is the one that looks "weird" most of the time while shooting photos

 

[joueboy]

This all make sense now to me just like "aha" moment. Since more people are now recording vertical videos the design fits well to the current trend. Apple is really smart this is going to be revolutionary.

It's not like modern engineers draw schematics using paper and pencils. The schematics are actually computer models which you can display in different modes including the one without any dimensions.

Or it'll be a spec bump and price cut like the Apple Watch Series 1.

Macrumors doesn't cater to specific rumors that you believe are real or want. They report anything Apple related, let alone we don't even know if this iPhone to be called a "7S" or the iPhone 8.

Am I the only one who has been forever annoyed by the extreme oval cutout for the dual lens camera. So out of place. It is fine to have two cameras, but could they please at least attempt something like this shown below , or if possible fit two cameras into the smallest circular cutout possible to contain both. Just looks awful, and is so far from Apple's previous design standards.

Then... the nightmare

When compared to this it is just an atrocity

Hope so

I would gladly take an aluminum two-piece shell (glass screen and back aluminum housing) over a three-piece shell (glass screen, metal sides, glass back) as long as the aluminum model had wireless charging.

As much as I like glass backs, the glass design shows smudges way too easily and are more prone to breaking.

...Eh, I'll take what they give us. I'm sure either one will impress. Just no more micro-abrasions, please.

I agree with you, I like the aluminum design very much too, although the glass design looks great. We'll have to wait until glass is out again to make the aluminum return. Or even something different?

The first one IS a nightmare. The actual real camera bump is fine in my opinion but the reason they increased the bump is because of the additional camera lens the iPhone 7 and 7 plus offer. Apple didn't make a big feature out of it to distract from the bump's increase and softened the matter even more with praising the unibody like cut out of the camera system. I'm still surprised that no tech website has said anything about the bumps increase due to the additional lens although I view them every single day.

and here I am waiting patiently for the 10.5 inch ipad pro

 

[The Game 161]

The more it sounds like there will be two OLED phones which is surprising..

 

[AdamskiUK]

Doesn't seem real to me, the schematic is too dirty, artifacts everywhere.

A lot of Bothans died to get us these plans.

Maybe it got dirty then?

 

[920R]

Looks like it is two layers superimposed. Check out the backward text in the boxes at the lower right. That's part of a front-facing component.

Yes and the Apple is backward if it's a rear view, so they conflict. It's bogus.

There isn't one. There was no advantage to removing the headphone jack either. Not to anybody other than Apple anyway.

I honestly think they used to be about making the best product, you cant say that about much of the stuff they make now.

There seems to be a lot of people who think this is going to be something revolutionary, I don't think Tim Cooks Apple are capable of it. Expecting something that resembles the Samsung S8 maybe without the rear finger print sensor and wireless charging. Basically nothing that hadn't been done two years ago.

It's a drawing not a schematic

Thank you!
