Not sure his logic for calling its fake is sound though, there is clearly a cut out for the flash in underneath the camera cutout on this schematic the fact that the compartment where the flash is on the current models is still there doesn't preclude the possibility of this being real.
Got a tip for us?

It's a schematic that doesn't show the display.
Ok. that one I remember. I'm hoping Apple will be able to reduce the forhead and chin further.
The difference is, a protruding camera does not affect the user experience other than looks. The Touch ID on the back totally changes the user experience. Big difference.
Again... I say if there is going to be one on the back... it's in addition to one on the front. That way you can easily use your phone from either side to use Apple Pay.
Someone thought that's where you plug in the wireless cable :-(
Has anyone noticed that we are returning to chamfered edges? Let's not deny it guys we will end up being up late at night preordering this phone. And yes I would personally prefer the Touch ID to be embedded in the display but oh well let's look on the bright side at least we will have a fullscreen oled display and yet still have the home button lol.
[doublepost=1492618233][/doublepost]YES AMAZING IDEA APPLE I WOULD LOVE THE STRAIN MY FINGER JUST TO UNLOCK MY PHONE!!!
Yet another "iPhone 8" design schematic has surfaced today, this one courtesy of noted leaker Sonny Dickson on Twitter.
The render shows an iPhone with a vertically-positioned dual-lens camera and Touch ID located on the back of the smartphone, as seen previously. It's likely one of several designs that Apple is considering, as multiple reports have said the company has been testing multiple iPhone prototypes this year.
Bloomberg in particular said one of the iPhone prototypes that Apple is testing has a "simpler design" with an aluminum back, rather than a glass one, plus slightly larger dimensions, and that description is consistent with this render. But, as mentioned, this might not be the design that Apple selects.The prototype measures 149.5mm tall and 72.5mm wide, compared to the iPhone 7's 138.3mm length and 67.1mm width, so the "iPhone 8" would be slightly larger than a 4.7-inch iPhone as expected should Apple choose this design. The dimensions are consistent with a previous design schematic leaked last week.
While a vertical camera is a more likely possibility for what will be Apple's highest-end iPhone, it's less clear if Touch ID will be integrated under the display, on the rear, or elsewhere. Last week, Cowen and Company analyst Timothy Arcuri said Apple is facing yield issues with its under-display solution.
One possibility is that the circular cutout on the rear is actually for wireless charging, rather than Touch ID. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said all three iPhone models rumored to launch this year will feature wireless charging, and it'll likely be a contact-based solution using a standard such as Qi.
The sides of the iPhone include the usual cutouts for the mute switch, SIM card tray, Lightning connector, speaker grille, and what is likely a second faux speaker grille. In line with the iPhone 7, there is no 3.5mm headphone jack, so don't get your hopes up about a surprise return of the legacy connector.

I think I would rather have a chin on the phone with a home button than one on the back. Just because all the other manufacturers are doing it doesn't mean you need to do it APPLE!!! Please be under the display instead.
honeyyyyyy. are you serious right now this idea is worse than the rumor
The OLED design is supposed to have external dimensions similar to iPhone 7, not the Plus. So, the placement for fingerprint scanner would align perfectly where the apple logo sits. Many cases already have a cutout in that position. I personally don't like such cases and would rather have fingerprint scanner embedded in display.
How does that work in software though, short of leaving the huge chin to accommodate the Touch ID sensor?
I was skeptical when I first heard the rumours of them trying to embed it into the display, just don't see how that works.
The bezel edges look flat like the iphone SE not more rounded like the 6/7 series
7s plus, i think and hope.....
So :
-the regular 7s that has the same design as the 7, but with upgraded camera, soc, etc but with the old touchid on the same place. I hope for a higher display res.
-the 7s plus(as in this picture
with touchid on the back, 5.5 inch 16:9 ips lcd screen, upgraded soc/cams, less bezel and chins.-the iphone 8/edition/x with a steel frame and 2.5d glass on both sides, 5.8 inch oled at 19:9 or 20:9, touchid under display, etc.
At least that is what i am hoping for..... and that this is the leaked schematic of the iphone 7s plus.
It's called disinformation people
Disinformation for who? The people on the internet? Cause seems like the other manufacturers are moving on with their own designs...
Perhaps we' ll get it this year....Am I the only one who still dreams about a GLOWING APPLE LOGO.?
To make up for the touchid on the back.
Two reasons - One, most videos/photos are taken in landscape mode, not portrait. Also, it's better for VR/AR.
