iPhone 8 leaked images hint at vertical dual camera setup, 2.5D curved glass

Serial tipster Ming-Chi Kuo from KGI Securities, who is known for his accurate prediction on Apple devices, has now stated that the new iPhone 8 will indeed make an appearance at the big event in September, but the devices might not go on sale immediately.

A report by Digital Trends points out that the 10th anniversary iPhone will most likely not go up for sale at the same time the rumored 7S and 7S Plus models hit Apple Store shelves. It is believed that there are issues with the 3D sensing tech which is set to debut on the new device. These 3D sensors are said to take advantage of new augmented reality technology.

At the same time, new images of the iPhone 8 have been leaked online. Twitter user Benjamin Geskin shared some design images of the new device. It is believed that the upcoming iPhone will feature a glass back with a 2.5D curved glass and a vertical dual camera setup. There is no Home button present on the front and the bezels are barely visible. Geskin stated that these images are CNC dummy models from Foxconn.

According to a report from Nikkei, Apple has also placed an order for 70 million displays from Samsung for use in the iPhone 8. This will be the first time that Apple will adopt a curved OLED screen for its iPhones. Samsung is also said to be the sole supplier of OLED panels for the next iPhone due to having the “most advanced” technology in the field. These new iPhones will most likely be waterproof and have wireless charging.
