Hands-On With Purported iPhone 8 Dummy Unit [Video]

Check out this hands-on video with a purported iPhone 8 dummy unit. The video was shared with 9to5Mac by Shai Mizrachi.

Similar to a previous hands-on video that surfaced last month, the dummy model has minimal bezels, glass front and back, relocated and elongated power button, a vertical dual-lens camera on the back, and no home button.




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 minimal 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.

Despite Apple doubling down on leaks, we'll likely see many more as production of the iPhone 8 gets underway. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
