I am curious how good the fingerprint reader will be or if the 8s version will be a difference like the 6 vs 6s
 
Screen bump seems low enough that you could have two rows of status icons along the top of the screen.
 
I really need to see the other colors. It STILL looks too close like a jet black iPhone 7 minus the position of the ugly camera.

To me it's still the same design on the iPhone 6/6s and 7.
4 years and we can't get a different look. No bueno.

If apple wants my 1k+ for the 8 they will need to wow me. Great that they seemed to be keeping touchid on the front. That's not worth me coming out again for another 1k for a phone that is still basically like my iPhone 7 plus jet black.

Great that we now get wireless charging, but that doesn't wow me either.

I have a feeling the charging pad is going to cost at least $100

With the flash in the middle of both cameras won't we have glare issue if we use the flash that I never use on people.

And that UGLY silver rim around the camera. That is so samsung.
 
The best part of the rumour is wireless charging! Let's hope it's more than just Qi!

If it isn't from some distance, I would be quite disappointed.
 
No its the embedded fingerprint reader that is the real trick (& what Samsung flubbed, hence their terrible fingerprint reader on the S8 by the camera lens) and the expectation is that Apple is going to get that working.

Yeah, basically what I meant by a virtual button is something in the display, which would presumably also incorporate TouchID
 
A 4 digit number where the certification symbols go in the first picture? Fake!

Second picture? Maybe 7S, 7S+, and 8. But then anyone with a 3D printer and a roll of toilet paper could replicate that photo.
 
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.

While I like your thinking (why why WHY camera bump?!?), it appears (to me) to be the reflection of [say] a book case or something tall that would be standing out of frame to the right.

Don't like that front bump down from the top for the earpiece and camera. How will they handle viewing landscape video with this? My guess is they will simply make it a uniform black strip while playing video by just not activating those top pixels and keeping them black (filling in the space to the right and left of the bump to give it the impression of one strip of black)... which would shift the video to one side. I guess they could always just shrink the video and place a black bar on both sides, but then video wouldn't take advantage of the new screen size and it would give the impression of thicker bezels at the top and bottom, which goes against the point. Will be interesting to see how they handle this.
 
Meh, I'm still more interested in the 4.7" and 5.5" models. I'm really not a fan of that vertical camera at all (nor the rumored price tag).
 
We're now halfway through June, this is it! ...and I like it! (unlike the leaked 5/6 series before it, which both turned out good). This one will be great!
 
Who cares? I care what the pictures look like, not what the lens housing looks like. :confused:

So if the iPhone body looked like this you'd be cool with it as long as it was fast and performed well?

(Yes I know this is a case, but I'm asking you if the body itself looked like this)
 
I find it bizarre they would go with a cutout of the screen on the front. Although there's room on either side to put the wireless signal strength and the time on the home screen, that space will be awkward when using apps. That's just not practical design. Go rectangular or go home.
 
This mockup does not seem 4 mm wider than iphone 7. Also i am curious to see how apple manages video watching in portrait mode? Will it show a black bar on other side to match top bezel to keep image in middle?
 
Consistent leaks at this time of year = the final design
Yup, every year. This is definitely it. I'm not sure who would buy an iPhone 7S Plus if this thing has a bigger screen in a smaller enclosure, plus dual cameras.
 
What a strange thing to say on a forum, there was me thinking this is subjective choice but you appear to have spoken for everyone. What would this place do without you? Thank you so much.
and when did I state that I was taking for everyone? not sure if you’re being sarcastic or really rude...

Simple answer.... $$$
If the rumored price has any legs to it, many will simply not want to spend that kind of cash on a phone.
I'm sure Apple will sell millions of 8's, but I suspect the 7s/7s Plus will out sell the 8.
