Some new stuff emerged on twitter this morning from Benjamin Geskin who claims that fingerprint reader will be on front and not back. If this is case then I am super happy as never felt right having on back on my android devices

iPhone X (#iPhone8) with iPhone 7s and 7s Plus.

Form is 100% confirmed.
Touch ID in power button or display. (99% NOT on the back) https://twitter.com/VenyaGeskin1/status/866574410794270722/photo/1

This doesn't make it 100% confirmed unless Apple verifies. But it is interesting to see where these rumors lead for the questionable home button placement. This will easily be a front page article at some point today.

I'm with you on this, it's not 100% for sure. Just seems as though there isn't a place on rear for fingerprint scanner in a lot of things that I have seen recently.
 
If true, that long power button makes you wonder if it might be there, as the tweet suggests is a possibility. Seems too skinny though. Not sure how I feel about the idea....

100% confirmed...10 minutes later pictures of the case with no cutout for the power button.

This seems to be de rigeur now with new phones and aspect ratio etc. I am quite happy to have a bigger screen inside a smaller frame as sometimes my plus model can be cumbersome. Just really hope they can fit a big enough battery and not go too slim on body

I would have liked them just to have released the 8 only but that's not going to happen any more now.
am i missing something? they have not released anything at the moment.
moreover i clearly remember that in the video teaser of the ip7 Ive said that the design of the 7 was the perfected form of the 6 series, "the best iteration" or something like that.
i don't think they will release 7s and an 8 all together.

maybe they'll discontinue iPhone 6s, and then just keep "cheap" versions of the 7... thats why we see molds of those guys?
