Slides from an alleged Foxconn presentation reviewing the development of the next generation iPhone have leaked.

The presentation is entitled, 'Project Cyclops Review' and in the video we can see several slides, including:
● 2017 September Launch Capacity Planning Overview
● Y2017 Cyclops Production Forecast Comparison - Multi site allocation module
● Cyclops Historical Milestone & Ramp Forecast

Project Cyclops is believed to be the next generation OLED iPhone 8/Edition. Notably, on the historical milestone chart we can see that during the beginning of the EVT2 stage (Engineering Validation Test), there is a 'Cyclops - ID Rear Touch Relocation' event followed by a 'Fixture rework' event.

We've seen numerous leaks of iPhone rear shell which appears to have a cutout for Touch ID. It's possible that these were early prototypes and that the Touch ID sensor has been relocated or removed.

We'll know what Apple has to unveil on September 12th. Make sure to follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
