I think it's just a reflection.Is it just me or is the rear part got a protruding bottom right edge? Like, a counter shim so that the protruding camera wont make the phone wobble on a flat surface anymore.

I see this argument once in a while, especially the classic "they complain about the ugliness of the leaks now but will stand in queue on release day anyway", never understood your way of thinking, how do you know those are the same people, or who are "they" that you are referring to?lol people said that about the 5/5S when the 6 was released. And said that about the 4/4S when the 5 was released.
And I think they said that about the 3GS when the 4 was leaked due to the "ugly" antenna bands...
Plus they said that about the cMBP when the rMBP was released. And when the 2016 MBP was released, people then said the 2012 rMBP was the best design.
TL;DR: people hate change but they'll come around.
People who said "that" about the 5/5S when the 6 was released "and" said that about the 4/4S when the 5 was released can very well be very different people (or rather groups of people), i find it unlikely that you tracked every single individual, those individuals can still think the 4/4S was the best design to this day, just because you see someone referring to the 5/5S as the best design later on does not mean that the original 4/4S group have changed their mind
pretty sure that they'll keep that area black and show battery on the right and reception on the left. it should look seamless when the phone is on. Meaning you won't be able to tell a major difference between the blacks, since it will be OLED. And then you'll have the line below to show carrier, wifi, clock, bt, rotation-lock etc..
It's crazy how iPhone has been out for 10 years and we've been getting part leaks for about 8 or 9 of those years and people still are doubtful Lolol.
I can't wait to see it revealed.

No the 7 is the best design. Really? Those 6/6S antenna lines? Ew.
#8 is going to be awesome! But I'll probably go for the 7s because of the price. But pulling of touch id on the front will give apple a tech/feature lead to samsung

Thousands of Androids were made for the commoners. Keeping them happy at a budget.
2 iPhones were made for the elitist who believed they are above all, living in a walled garden harmony, where everything just worked and safari was snappy.
But they were all deceived... For another iPhone was made in secrecy, in a stale era where innovation had lost its meaning, more powerful and feature rich than any before it.
One phone to rule them all!

Exactly my thoughts. 6/6s is easily the WORST design of all smart phones in history. You have to be crazy to think it looks good.
I wouldn't take my comment that seriously; I didn't track every single individual's comment and calculate consistencies based on a 14-point incursive algorithm before posting.
That said, there are the same comments on here every year following every redesign. I think we've been here long enough to say with some certainly that people hate aesthetic change where Apple's concerned, but tend to eventually come around. We see it very frequently.
I doubt any negativity on this occasion will be any different, though of course, time will tell.
That's never happened with a 7 Plus. To anyone.
I like it. Bring it on Apple! Looks like wireless charging for 7s & the 8! (so looking forward to that)
Thought we might be seeing a number (or some designation) on the backside of the 8 shell, since it won't be the standard 7s phone (the SE has SE on the back if memory serves), but no.

Same, but i'm getting it before you and your order will be back-ordered 2 months
There are definitely people that say it's ugly and then end up buying. I've seen quotes get pulled up of people not in favor of a leak, but then talk about how they are now owners of said phone.
I just think it's funny how people say how much they dislike a leak. It's like people don't understand that the finished polished product is going to look great. People will change their minds once we have that trailer reveal.
I'm sure this has been said in 3 pages of posts, but those regulatory markings are exactly in line with how they look on the iPhone 7 for European models. It's the right kind of timeframe and is consistent with rumours, so if I had to bet I'd say these were real.![]()
Our first glimpse at components that could be destined for the much-rumored 5.8-inch "iPhone 8" and its 4.7 and 5.5-inch companion devices surfaced this morning in a post on reddit. The images are said to be sourced from a case manufacturer who received them from a glass supplier in China.
The first photo depicts what is said to be the front and back panel of the iPhone 8, with the front panel featuring a super thin bezel around all sides along with a top bar that could perhaps house a front-facing camera, microphone, and speaker. There's been some question on how Apple will handle the front-facing camera and mockup devices and renderings haven't offered a clear picture.
![frontpanels1-800x600.jpg]()
Some design renderings have shown a section at the top of the device similar to the front panel in this image, while others seem to feature a bar that extends fully across the top of the device.
The rear panel features a vertical dual-lens camera and a separate protruding lens component, with no rear Touch ID in sight, in line with rumors suggesting Apple has indeed figured out how to build Touch ID into the display of the device.
A second photo depicts the two alleged iPhone 8 components next to alleged components for the 4.7-inch iPhone 7s and the 5.5-inch iPhone 7s Plus, two devices that are rumored to be launching alongside the OLED iPhone 8. All three rear shells are said to be made from glass in order to support wireless charging, and that all three devices will get wireless charging is a rumor we've heard before from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

While these images are in line with many rumors that we're heard about Apple's upcoming devices, there's no way to verify their authenticity. They could very well be from a clone device or a dummy device created based on the iPhone 8 design leaks and rumors that have circulated, and there are some red flags suggesting that might be the case.
Design wise, the regulatory information etched into the rear shell of the iPhone 8 is rather prominent and is not in line with the design of the regulatory information on past iPhones, which casts some suspicion on the panels.
Even if fake, these panels are based on supply chain information and rumors and do perhaps provide an idea of what actual iPhone 8 components might look like. Still, it's best to view these leaks with some skepticism until we begin to see more part leaks to corroborate the design.

I'm excited.
Virtual home button in the UI? Android devices have been doing it for years.
I've always gotten white faced iPhones since they've been available. I think I will swap to the black with this model. I don't feel that I would like the top design of the screen in white.
This super thin bezel with hyper thin glass and invisible internals with an optional back is incredible. If I had one I'd junk the back and just keep the micro thin clear front panel. It looks really light and practical. I assume the display appears when it's switched on? This two piece design and transparent design with detachable dual lens camera will be a hit. Beat THAT Samsung!.
