New iPhone 8 Glimpse Combines Leaked Parts to Show Off What Device Might Look Like at Launch

[MacRumors]

Leaker Benjamin Geskin has posted a few new images and a video of what Apple's upcoming iPhone 8 might look like once it's in the hands of users later this year. Using a leaked dummy model, screen protector, and a printed picture of an iOS wallpaper, Geskin has put together the gist of what current rumors have suggested the iPhone 8 will look like once it's announced in the fall.

Geskin's images depict an iPhone 8 dummy model as we've seen previously, with a suggested 5.8-inch display area, minimal bezels, front-facing camera and sensor dip, but with an all-black frame instead of models that have previously depicted a rumored stainless steel frame. To give users a glimpse as to what the iPhone 8 display might look like when activated, Geskin then attached a picture of an iOS wallpaper to the dummy, and applied a screen protector on top.

The wallpaper Geskin used is part of a beach themed collection of images that appeared within the iOS 10.3.3 beta only for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but they have since appeared on the 10.5-inch iPad Pro and new 12.9-inch iPad Pro running iOS 10.3.2.

A video shared on Geskin's Twitter account has further provided a glimpse into the iPhone 8 dummy in motion.

The iPhone 8 is predicted to to be the first major iPhone redesign since the iPhone 6 in 2014, with additional features such as wireless charging and improved waterproofing to further bolster the smartphone's position as a premium device. Alongside the iPhone 8 will be the "iPhone 7s" and "iPhone 7s Plus," which are expected to keep the current iPhone 7 design while offering the usual iterative spec bumps like improved battery life and snappier performance.

Lookin' good

 

[Sunny1990]

This looks so dmn beautiful with those reduced bezels, I am eagerly waiting for this iPhone.

 

[filmantopia]

I don't think this is a good representation of how the software will appear with regard to the bezels, but regardless, this is going to be an amazing phone.

 

[joueboy]

I'm 100% convinced that the TouchID will be on the back of the phone.

I'm 100% convinced that the TouchID will be on the back of the phone.

Based on your gut, when all of the reports in the last two months are saying it'll be on the front behind the display.

 

[macduke]

This iPhone is the sex.

 

[Saipher]

I've been waiting for an iPhone to have this "bezeless" look for a while now... I can't wait!

Amazing rectangle with rounded corners and less bezel finally for 2017! Hope there's some trick like the rumored fingerprint under display.

 

[rudychidiac]

Very beautiful... Let's hope it doesn't cost a kidney.

 

[macduke]

Cue people in the future saying "The design hasn't changed, it's still all display! Apple is dead, no innovation."

 

[sza]

Time to invest in Apple stocks. It will reach $300 per share soon.

 

[newyorksole]

This phone is gonna change the game. Whether you like these leaks or not, when Apple officially reveals it I'm sure everyone will fall in love with how it's marketed.

 

[jwakim]

God I hope this is it... Am I the only one thinking that we are about to get a simplified offering? iPhone 8 onward one screen size? From the rumors, we got the larger screen in the smaller footprint, wouldn't that be the ultimate goal?

 

[Bane-Thunder]

Its a thing of beauty! Day ONE for me!

 

[nfl46]

Goood ****ing bye to these BEZELS! Thank you, Apple! They won't be miss!

 

[melgross]

Ah, gee, we really don't know if this is "most likely" what the iPhone 8 will look like. It might, but it might not. Apple has tried a number of different configurations, and just possibly, this might be one of them. We'll know better sometime in August, when real parts start getting stolen.

 

[rpe33]

Nice! I need this NOW!

 

[navier]

But will it have flat edges (4, 5, SE) or not (6, 7) ?

Cue people in the future saying "The design hasn't changed, it's still all display! Apple is dead, no innovation."

Did your quote start as the first? (Sarcasm).

I think this is the first iPhone I might wait in line this year for the experience and I have never done that before. Mainly being the Changes have me excited after three years of the same design and this iPhone looks to be very promising.

 

[LordQ]

So, when can I preorder?

 

[mi7chy]

Cut out is ugly and it elimates 180 degree auto-rotation use of the display.

 

[Speechless]

I think this is the first iPhone I might wait in line for and I have never done that. Mainly being the Changes have me excited after three years of the same design.

Same here..but I'm gonna be super extra and book a quick little trip to NYC and make a weekend out of it

Cut out is ugly and it elimates 180 degree auto-rotation use of the display.

Hey, it's a start. Maybe in the 2019 iPhone (9), they will completely eliminate the cut out. Anything is better than that bezel fest iPhone we have now.
