You sure it's from Foxconn?

Thanks for sharing sir, looks awsome.
I hope the price will not be €1200!

The typography on the box doesn’t match Apple’s typography on iPhone boxes. Might be fake or a test box.

It won’t blend perfectly, you’ll still be able to see it, but it will be very hard to do so unless maybe you view it at a certain angle under direct lightning.
Does the typography match the new iOS11 font with the bold writing?
 
The link also shows a picture of the iPhone Box labeled "iPhone X Edition". I question the name of this iPhone. "X" maybe, but I don't know about the "Edition" part. I also question if the sensors/camera will Blend in better With the top notch.
Where are the other camera/holes? If you look at the other pictures above you will see at the top there are more than the one in picture you have posted.

Here is a link i would like to share, According to the Article no sign of touch id in the display assembly :-

I think Touch ID has been removed and Apple are going to be using Facial recognition instead, more leaks will probably follow in the coming weeks before the event next month, i wonder if the event will be the first week in September this year or around 11th.

I wonder what the chances are of the Touch ID module being on the Apple logo on the backside. I always thought it would be a perfect place for it..
 
Benjamin Geskin shouldn't be trusted, as what @Onleaks mentions. He's a photoshop boy that will take any """""insider leak""""" whether it is true or not and claim it as real.

I do take him with a pinch of salt, a lot of what he's reported was already done so by @Onleaks who i trust more! especially after last year when he got the leaks and information about the 7 Plus right, he said about the dual lens camera and people said it wouldn't happen so i do trust him a lot more. It seems to me that there will be 3 models which some people on here are rejecting the idea of but it makes sense:

The iPhone 7s, 7s Plus are for those who don't want or can't afford the iPhone 8/"Pro"/Edition, it's still a new phone with rumoured glass back a new internal chip and so on, it's even rumoured the 7s and 7s Plus will have wireless charging (hence the glass back) but the 8/"Pro"/Edition will be the one with OLED, 3D sensing camera, facial recognition, removal of the home button and so on.

Love this comment. You're thinking!

The display will blend better with the cutout, I don't believe this is legit.

Maybe you're right, but in my case the only reason i use an iPhone is because of IOS. That's a pretty expensive OS tough :)

I can guarantee if Galaxy S8 was running IOS with Apple logo on the back (imagine we're in a weird universe), Apple was bankrupt by now.
The S8 is a prime example of intelligent designers and engineers vs unintelligent designers and engineers.

The iPhone teams know physics so they understood that you do not place display below curving glass. This is due to the physical reality that light (photons) bend through this curved glass via a phenomenon known as refraction. This in turn causes the visible distortion of imagery to the human who is viewing it. Moreover, the curved glass also causes reflection of light at oblique angles compared to the remained of the glass. This causes the user to distinctly see the curved portion, and have the content under be diminished in clarity.

At the end of the day, I want to doubt that it was the designers and engineers at Samsung, and instead just unintelligent executives leading them, but alas, I do not know the answer to that.

Let's think about this though.... Assuming the part was legit (which I don't believe it is due to the contrast level between the bezel and display), then there is clearly a part at the bottom front of the display covering exactly where the home Button will be. These people have absolutely no knowledge as to what that is. It could very well be a Touch ID module with the display ribbons.

The Apple Watch Edition was a completely separate entity that was offered in 18 karat gold with over a $10,000 price range. The term "Edition" would certainly suit an Apple Watch of that caliber based on the exclusivity. The iPhone 8 "Edition" moniker, not so much. I highly doubt the iPhone 8 will not be labeled "Pro" or "Edition". There is nothing "Pro" about an iPhone or "Edition."

I believe the numeric system will continue of some form or another clever marketing term.

Vehemently agree with your logic here.

Edition signified a material difference, not a feature difference.

Pro signifies a device that is specifically designed to meet the needs of professional users more appropriately.

Neither of these match what is happening and Pro will never match an iPhone, ever.

I believe numbers stay, but the premium iPhone gets a new marketing term to differentiate itself and draw attention to itself over the others. The point of marketing is to get customers to ask what it means and be drawn to it. Pro would be categorically awful as it would tell users this is an iPhone for professionals, and with its massive price tag, they'd skip it in a heartbeat. You want to see every news publication on September 6th have a headline with 'Apple announces iPhone Infinity' or something that gets every single person's interest. Seriously if it said 'Apple announces iPhone Pro' that's so terrible for marketing purposes. No where near as many clicks would occur.

If this schematic is accurate, this is a solid leak. Seeing the internal components can say a lot of in terms of what can be confirmed if the double stacked circuit board and L Shaped battery that have been rumored previously. I imagine more finalized iPhone leaks will surface in the upcoming weeks.

I think it makes sense, that way they can launch a bigger screen and smaller screen OLED iphone 8 next year. Guess it's like it is this year due to supply shortages.
 
No, stop it. Do not go there.

Years of fat bezel complaints, and already complaints about thin bezels. Grrrrr o_O
You get it wrong, I am not complaining, I am actually very excited and happy to see Apple is coming with those thin bezels design. I never had issues with fat bezels before and Nor have with this one.
 
That might be true, only if Apple isn't planning to introduce a 7S and 7S Plus. If they are, and they're also planning to introduce a 8 Plus alongside an 8.

There will NOT be an "8 Plus" along side an 8 this year and it was never rumored to be. There likely be a 7s offered in two variations and the 5.8 OLED. The latest iPhone leaks have confirmed have seemingly confirmed this.

The rumor states that if Samsung is working at full capacity, it will be able to produce around 124 million 6-inch panels and 130 million 5.8-inch screens in a single year.

The 5.8-inch version will be for the iPhone 8 but which model will the 6-inch version go to? I think there's a high probability we'll see two iPhone 8 models this year.

Those are simply the quantities that could be produced at those sizes.

It doesn't mean that both, or even either specific dimension, are what Apple will be using.

I could actually imagine Apple launching it as a premium 'Edition' device as it does with the Apple Watch line... could be used as the justification for the high price its touted to launch with.
[doublepost=1502131751][/doublepost]
and perhaps TouchID is going on the back after all...

What if...

All three iPhone launching have a full screen display? What if the leaks we're seeing aren't a single device but multiple models? Could explain the existence of TouchID on some and not on others..?
