The sketchy story behind this iPhone 8 schematic going around …

I did see this posted and wanted to share. https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/07/iphone-8-schematic-sketch/

It's fake. The original picture even had a Chinese watermark written over it saying "This picture is purely fictional".

I just saw this on the Pocket Now Daily video. I don't mind the design, but my worry is, if they do go full on facial recognition for unlocking, how will Apple Pay work? I mean all company's and websites and apps that support it do so through Touch ID and their is no Touch ID on this design, unless it is behind the screen that is?

Also.. where's the camera flash then? Or will the expensive flagship iPhone 8 only have a 1 lens camera, keeping the dual lens camera for the biggest Plus model?

So I'd would also agree this is totally fake.

From the article: "It doesn’t look a genuine iPhone schematic, and there’s a simple reason for that: it’s not. It was in fact created by Benjamin Geskin, who specializes in creating renders based on rumors."

I always figured the "function area" would replace the bottom bezel rather than be above it.
