iPhone 8 – the first sketch of the possible new design

iPhone 8 seems to be presented in a supposed sketch that would have been taken from the factory of a partner of the Apple company that produces the prototypes.

iPhone 8, or what should be the future smartphone of the Apple company, appears in a sketch published during this day on a website specialized in such materials. We are talking about a sketch of the iPhone 8 that could come from the factory of a partner of the Apple company, showing us how the design of the future product of those from Cupertino could be created.

In the sketch below you will see an iPhone 8 that no longer has a Home button, this change being safe, even if the final design of the front panel could be different. You can see that in the upper part of the iPhone 8 sketch there are now two front cameras instead of the only one used in the past by the Apple company, the ambient light and proximity sensors being moved.

It has been said that Apple will implement a 3D front camera and an infrared sensor in the iPhone 8, so those two holes on the left side of the front panel could contain these two new components. The rest of the front panel of the iPhone 8 would be covered by a 5.8-inch diagonal screen that Apple would like to integrate, but only part of it will be dedicated to displaying images.

Moving on now to what we are recommended to be the iPhone 8 case, the sketch shows us a completely unusual positioning of the main camera of the new smartphone. More precisely, this sketch for an alleged iPhone 8 tells us that the terminal could have the camera positioned vertically, and not horizontally, as happened in the case of the iPhone 7 Plus in 2016.

The change does not seem to be a logical one for Apple because we are talking about a rather inappropriate placement for the main camera of the iPhone 8, but at this moment anything is possible. If you were to ask me, I would say that Apple will not position the camera like that, but anything is possible if we have a fingerprint reader integrated into the screen, or maybe even under the Apple logo.

Separately, on the sides of the supposed case of the iPhone 8 we see that there are still the volume buttons, the Lock/Power button, but also a SIM drawer, a sign that Apple would not want to give them up. Overall, the sketch seems to be more for an Android smartphone than for an iPhone 8, but considering that Apple is preparing a radical design change, anything is possible.

It is also not excluded that in the sketch we see a prototype of the iPhone 8 and not a real product.
