Apple iPhone 8 will have a brand new design, several leaks confirm

As the launch date of iPhone is nearing, a new leak has reportedly "confirmed" the iPhone 8's brand new design.

Following several leaks about Apple's controversial yet virtually bezel-less redesign, OnLeaks has obtained detailed iPhone 8 dummy models which confirm that the devices to be launched in September would have an elongated 18.5:9 aspect ratio like the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, Forbes reported.

It would also reduce bezel sizes to just 4mm on all sides and feature a vertically aligned rear camera, the report added.

The rear dual-camera system on the iPhone 8 would protrude more than ever before.

Earlier leaks have suggested design changes in detail. They also pointed out that the 2017 device would have an all-display front with fingerprint scanner moved to the back.

According to a revelation by Chinese site iPhoneros, the iPhone 8 would compete with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 displays.

The move makes sense as elongated aspect ratio allows manufacturers to increase the size of a smartphone display while keeping it narrow enough to hold with one hand and still use the keyboard comfortably.

However, for this, the app makers would have to redesign their user interfaces while navigation at the top of the display (like the back button in iOS) becomes harder to reach.

The handful of images also showed the upcoming iPhone 8 with rear-placed Touch ID placed directly below the Apple logo.

The placement matches earlier leaked drawings, showing the vertical camera design, camera flash placement, among other design information.

Earlier in June, Apple introduced iOS 11, a major update to the world's most advanced mobile operating system that would bring new experiences and several new features to iPhones and iPads this fall.

A new diagram of iPhone 8 suggests that Apple may move the fingerprint reader to the back of the phone and the camera modules also appear to have changed.

"Apart from relocating the fingerprint reader, Apple may also add a dual-camera module that sits vertically on the back of the phone," CNBC.com reported on Thursday.

The change in camera modules might add some sort of augmented reality (AR) function.

Apple's next generation iPhone 8 is rumoured to sport a bold new design and would feature an OLED display full of holes.

"The patent filed by Apple for 'Electronic devices having displays with openings' describes a method by which various components can be mounted behind perforations in a device screen that are so small as to be imperceptible to the human eye. This arrangement would allow engineers to design a smartphone or tablet with a true edge-to-edge, or full-face display," appleinsider.com reported earlier this year.
