Leaked iPhone 8 Schematic Has Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor Moved to the Back [Image]

We are now well and truly into the realms of peak iPhone rumor time and today we saw something that reaffirms old rumors and a similar leak while putting it into something we can all understand – picture form.

 Today, Australian leakster Sonny Dickson tweeted out an image of what appears to be a technical drawing for an aluminum iPhone 8 prototype (could it instead be an iPhone 7s prototype?) that shows vertically aligned dual cameras and a fingerprint sensor on the backside.

 This Design Verification Testing prototype could be Apple’s fallback model in case they fail to embed an optical fingerprint reader in the display, as has been rumored. But what if the hole under the Apple logo on the backside is for wireless charging, not the fingerprint sensor?

Bloomberg’s people familiar with the matter detailed at least three different iPhone prototypes that Apple is thought to have tested with manufacturing partners in Asia:

  • Prototype #1: Flat OLED screen and the cover glass that curves into a steel frame. Design conceptually similar to iPhone 4 with symmetrical, slightly curved glass on the front/back and the curves similar in shape to those on the front of iPhone 7. “An earlier prototype design had a thinner steel band, leaving more noticeable curved glass on the sides,“ reads the article.
  • Prototype #2: The same slightly curved front and steel frame like Prototype #1 with a glass back having “more dramatic curves” on the top and bottom akin to the original iPhone design from 2007.
  • Prototype #3: Basically a tweaked Prototype #2, only slightly larger, with a simpler design with an aluminum back rather than a glass one. This is Apple’s fallback device because suppliers have so far “struggled to reliably produce heavily curved glass in mass quantities.”

Thoughts?

We at the moment are smartly and really into the geographical regions of height iPhone rumor time and lately we noticed one thing that reaffirms previous rumors and a identical leak whilst striking it into one thing we will be able to all perceive – image shape.


 These days, Australian leakster Sonny Dickson tweeted out a picture of what seems to be a technical drawing for an aluminum iPhone 8 prototype (may just it as an alternative be an iPhone 7s prototype?) that presentations vertically aligned twin cameras and a fingerprint sensor on the bottom.
 This Design Verification Checking out prototype may well be Apple’s fallback type in case they fail to embed an optical fingerprint reader in the show, as has been rumored. However what if the hollow beneath the Apple emblem on the bottom is for wireless charging, now not the fingerprint sensor?

Bloomberg’s other folks acquainted with the topic detailed no less than 3 other iPhone prototypes that Apple is assumed to have examined with production companions in Asia:
  • Prototype #1: Flat OLED display and the duvet glass that curves right into a metal body. Design conceptually equivalent to iPhone 4 with symmetrical, somewhat curved glass on the entrance/again and the curves equivalent in form to the ones on the entrance of iPhone 7. “An previous prototype design had a thinner metal band, leaving extra noticeable curved glass on the facets,“ reads the article.
  • Prototype #2: The similar relatively curved entrance and metal body like Prototype #1 with a tumbler again having “extra dramatic curves” on the most sensible and backside akin to the unique iPhone design from 2007.
  • Prototype #3: Principally a tweaked Prototype #2, most effective quite greater, with a more effective design with an aluminum again fairly than a tumbler one. That is Apple’s fallback tool as a result of providers have thus far “struggled to reliably produce closely curved glass in mass amounts.”
