Watch: Hands-on with the iPhone 8 prototype
- The iPhone 8 prototype, lacks finish, but the new design is stunning.
- One of the most talked about rumour about the iPhone 8 has been the OLED display.
- It is likely to come with an OLED display and bezel-less design.
FollowWhile Apple has been tight lipped about the upcoming iPhone 8, a lot has already been said and written about the device. We've seen several renders and leaks trying to figure out how the device will possibly look like, and here's yet another.
Now, a new video has surfaced showing what could possibly be the iPhone 8 design. EveryThingApplePro (via Tom's Guide) has released a video showing one of the iPhone 8 designs floating around. Of course, it’s just a prototype, but gives a good sneak peek into what we can possibly expect.
The model appears to be in line with the rumours such as glass and metal body, and dual cameras aligned vertically. It also looks like the iPhone 8 device size, which will be roughly 5.8-inches. Previous leaks have revealed that the iPhone 8 will retain the same 3GB RAM that was also seen in the iPhone 7 Plus. In fact, Apple is said to release three smartphones, iPhone 8 along with the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus.
One of the most talked about rumour about the iPhone 8 has been the OLED display. After a string of rumours whether the device will come with OLED or not, there have been consistent leaks pointing towards the former. This has given rise to another question - if the device will feature a bezel-less design with a display taking over the front side, then will the fingerprint scanner come embedded within the OLED display or on the back side.
The latest predictions made by KGI's Ming-Chi Kuo (via 9To5Mac) confirms that we may finally see a OLED display with a bezel-less design and the device will also replace the existing home button with a virtual home button, it may not come integrated with the fingerprint scanner button on the front. This means, the fingerprint scanner could either be moved to the back side or removed completely.
Another consistent rumour has been about wireless charging. Needless to say, others like Samsung have been offering this feature for some time now. It will be offering wireless charging via rear panel. The iPhone 7s and 7s Plus may not get this feature.
