New Blurry Videos Potentially Show iPhone 8 on Production Line at Factory

[jayducharme]

That first video shows testing of the new iPhone drones. They weren't revved up to a high enough speed to lift off. The second one is a set of iPhone display cases at the new Apple Park.

Do you guys think if these factory operations were moved to the USA that white kids would want to work in the factory?

Hell no. And if they did, they would demand $20-25/hr with paid overtime to boot.

I love people who bash the video quality. Like they can sneak a RED camera in there or even a DSLR to take 4k video. This is covert stuff that would have serious consequences if they were caught.

I think it's more that we are celebrating the horrible quality. The worse the quality, the more likely it is to be real according to our leak memes.

"...appears to have a vertically-aligned camera, one of the smartphone's frequently rumored features."​

Hallelujah! Apple endorsed vertical-video. I'm no longer an outcast. I bet Hollywood will soon demand vertical cinemas.
I knew Apple still had ingenuity and foresight! New Apple campus producing new circular logic.

Courageous move on the part of Apple!

OnLeaks on Twitter seems to think these are more likely iPhone 8 knockoffs.

 

[big-ted]

Geez, compare that factor to the pictures of the Apple campus . That is not a nice place to work.

Looks like a horrid job, wiping phones and staring at a plain coloured wall for an entire shift

 

[Agent OrangeZ]

Tim is doubling down!

Yep. But here's the worse part... thousands of people show up every day to try to get these jobs.

This is actually a "good" job to have in this part of the world.

You and I in the UK and US have no idea what life is like in China.

Yes... I feel bad for them... but what would they be doing if they didn't have this job?

 

[LandRovers]

Wax on…wax off…

 

[Gudi]

I'm very disappointed after seeing this, I always believed Apple had a magical factory full of umpa-lumpas assembling the iPhones.

But aren't Oompa Loompa supposed to be tiny coloured people?

 

[AngerDanger]

It's fun to imagine how conspicuous the videographer of that first clip must've been while filming. The entire thing looks like it was shot from 1–2 feet above other standing people.

 

[lincolntran]

Doubling down huh Tim?

Yes. A month away from release and nobody have a clear idea of what the final phone will look like and exact spec

 

[MadeByApple]

Time says China has more highly skilled workers to build iPhones... LOL all I see are people wiping down casings.

The mindset is different there. At the end of the day, they’re happy that they can put food on the table for their kids, parents, grandparents. It’s not about work life balance or enjoyment.

Less than one month before Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone lineup, two videos have surfaced that may show the so-called iPhone 8 passing through the production line at a factory presumably located in China.

The videos surfaced on Chinese microblogging service Weibo earlier today, and were later uploaded to YouTube by Dutch blog TechTastic.

Both videos are short and blurry, so it's hard to make out exactly what is being shown. The production line could simply be for the multitude of iPhone 8 dummy models that have surfaced over the past few months.

Apple's contract manufacturers like Foxconn have strict security measures in place to prevent employees from bringing smartphones inside factories, so the videos could very well be completely unrelated to real iPhone 8 production.

In the first clip, factory workers appear to be polishing or cleaning the rear shell of what could be the iPhone 8. At the very least, the device appears to have a vertically-aligned camera, one of the smartphone's frequently rumored features.

In the second clip, just eight seconds long, dozens of potential iPhone 8 devices appear to be affixed to some kind of metal shelving rack.

Given the lack of real iPhone 8 part leaks, we're still stuck firmly in iPhone silly season--including infamously low-quality videos.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will begin production verification tests for the iPhone 8 in late August, followed by mass production in mid-September, so higher-quality leaks could be on the horizon.

[doublepost=1502722294][/doublepost]Reminds me of the blurry photos you see of UFO's.

It seems easy to catch who is recording this video face are visible so they can ask them who was it
does this mean a lot of people will be fired and sued for this video?

 

[44267547]

The video quality is pathetic. don't really show much of the phone.

Were you expecting 4K resolution? If this video is legitimate, these employees are not to bring smart phones into the factory because it's Highly prohibited.

The article states:

"Apple's contract manufacturers like Foxconn have strict security measures in place to prevent employees from bringing smartphones inside factories."

Edit: @Sunny1990. This video showing these iPhones may be indeed fake, based off latest reports.

Just the full size exact replica mockups and to the mm software renderings to go off then...basically guaranteeing no design surprises for September.

They won't have anything to sue for, but they might get fired.

 

[dwhittington]

Wow. Looks like a meat packing plant video. Just saying.

 

[ke-iron]

It's hard to make out if this is actually the iPhone 8 as opposed to some similarly designed "china phone"

Exactly what I was thinking, this doesn’t seem like an Apple like process.

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

It seems that the leaks have only increased since the Apple inside memo leaked. This river one looks nice.

 

[deany]

Watching this makes me sad, it looks like an abattoir.
Feel sorry for the workers, with past history, hope they are all Okay.
Polishing bloom'in iPhones all day for a living, not the best for them, deserve better.

 

[now i see it]

First vid is an obvious fake. There's no way someone could walk down a line of workers holding a camera in their hand above them while filming forbidden objects. Everyone in iPhone assembly knows cameras are forbidden.

2nd vid could be legit. Looks like an undercover "spy" camera shot.

 

[RightMACatU]

Anyone else eager to drop close to C$2,000 with taxes for a fully spec iPhone 8?
