Leaked iPhone 8 Schematic

[James Falconer]

Looks like several leakers have been busy sharing a rumored schematic of the iPhone 8. I've pasted it below for your reference:



What do you think? Real, or real fake? Are we looking at OLED here???

As long as Touch ID isn't on the back, I'm fine.

@Quis89 - yeah, it's got to be somewhere easy to use. The one thing I'm not a huge fan of on the S8 is that fingerprint sensor. Maybe Apple can come up with something better...

Same. I'm hoping they do. With the way I use my phone at my desk, a rear finger print sensor would be hugely inconvenient. (In a "first world problems" sort of way, of course lol)

Hoping they figure out how to put the sensor under the display but I'm starting to think Apple isn't quite ready for it yet.

Another problem with a rear facing touchID sensor would be the millions people who use cases. I'm not one of them but I empathize with those who are!

Is that squircle for wireless charging? And please no fingerprint sensor on the back :straight-face:

Case manufacturers probably will design their ware with that in mind.

Ugh! I hate cases with cutouts.

That would be ideal... but we'll see how it goes in a few months!

I hope it's not OLED. I'm using iPhone because of the LCD display.

OLED = burn-in.

Is burn-in really a problem anymore? From what I've heard from people in the industry it's not really something they're concerned with.

Screen burn-in is really a problem and even Samsung is helping with preventing it on the S8/S8+: http://www.theverge.com/circuitbrea...ng-galaxy-s8-home-button-moves-screen-burn-in

They should put the Touch ID in the Apple logo...

 

[jtcannonball]

If they put the FPS on the back let's hope it's placed in a similar location as LG. I love my Samsung S8+ but the sensor is dumb.

FPS on the back wouldn't be a good look!

Saw this render based on that schematic floating around the web.
