New Images Show Possible Front, Rear iPhone 8 Panels
A new Reddit post (via MacRumors) is showcasing a possible image of the front and rear iPhone 8 panels.
Another image from the same post compares the front and rear panel from the iPhone 8 to what is said to be the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus rear panels.
The poster said he recently received the parts:
I have a friend in the industry who just sent me these. He said the Chinese manufacturers got these last week.
As you can see, the rear panel shows the vertically aligned dual-lens camera setup and no Touch ID opening. That suggests Apple was able to find a way to embed the sensor under the front panel of the handset. The front panel shows a cutout for the front-facing camera and speaker grill.
In the other image, the poster gives us a quick glimpse at the supposed iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus rear panels saying that both of those handsets will also offer wireless charging just like the flagship device.
While the picture lines up with current thinking about the iPhone 8, there are a few signs that say the parts could be fake. Most notably, the regulatory information on the back panel take up a substantial amount of space and much more than previous models.
