We mentioned it ago
a few days, the rumors until then were mainly intangible,
transmitted by word of mouth... But as time passes and the release date
new 2017 products getting closer, the leaks will change in nature. First
stage before the arrival of spare parts, the leak of various diagrams and plans,
true or not! In any case, it was last year in March that the
first iPhone 7 schematics had surfaced.
Today, it is a diagram which aims to be that of the iPhone 8, the model
the most high-end to come from Apple, which has just appeared on the network
Chinese social Weibo.
We find elements widely mentioned there: large screen, borders
reduced, disappearance of the touchId on the front panel as well as
dimensions :
In terms of dimensions, this plan which would be that of a validation model
(not final therefore) displays dimensions of 149 mm in height, 72.5 mm in width
width and thickness of 7.1 mm which are close to those of the iPhone 7
(138 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm) this despite the presence of a 5.8 inch screen. These
gains are made possible by the reduced side borders, also on the top
but also via the disappearance of the “Home” button and the postponed TouchId sensor
on the rear side. A
very recent rumor since seen yesterdaymentioned this possibility, in case
Apple would not be able to integrate the sensor under the screen on the front panel.
Still on the rear, the photo part remains protruding and the double
sensor has gone vertical here.
It turns out that these plans are in line with
3D creations seen a few weeks ago, this allows you to visualize
what the rear could actually look like beyond simple dimensions and
technical drawings:
So whether it is the iPhone 8, Edition or X, if it is true it
should be attractive by combining large screen size and compact shape.
A trend that the market has resolutely adopted this year, with a Galaxy S8
who shows the way.
