Leaked iPhone 8 Schematic Allegedly Reveals Qi Wireless Charging [Image]

An updated version of the alleged iPhone 8 schematic leaked yesterday shows a Qi wireless charging coil and module.

The image was posted by Wei Feng on Weibo and we've translate the labeling which details the various components of the device. As rumored, there is a dual-lens rear camera oriented vertically, a dual-lens front camera with a light and distance sensor, a wireless charging coil and module, and more.

It's widely expected that the 10th anniversary iPhone will be a massive update. It will purportedly have a chassis made of reinforced glass with a stainless steel metal frame and an edge-to-edge display that has no bezels on the top and bottom. Additionally, the front camera, Touch ID, speaker, and other sensors will apparently be embedded into the display. Another report claims that the device would be a clear piece of glass with a next-generation OLED screen. The 5.8-inch screen is said to feature a main 5.15-inch display area with a reserved 'function area' below for virtual buttons. The device may use a stacked logic board design freeing up space for a larger battery pack. More recently, Apple is said to be equipping the phone with wireless charging, an iris scanner or face scanner, and a 3D camera.


We may not see Apple's new iPhone until October or November and we'll likely see more leaks as production of the iPhone 8 gets underway. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
