iPhone 8 is presented today in a new sketch that would have been made by someone who has seen the real documents based on which prototypes of the new smartphone would be manufactured now. The appearance of this sketch once again confirms the total frenzy that exists regarding iPhone 8 rumors, with Apple managing to create a lot of confusion around the world.
Although this sketch for the iPhone 8 shows, for the most part, the same changes as other sketches published in the past, it still shows a major change. More precisely, this sketch shows us that the iPhone 8 would have a screen with a diagonal of 5.7 inches and not 5.8 inches, as they showed us not only sketches, but also told us various sources apparently close to Apple.
Reducing the diagonal of the screen by 0.1 inches seems unlikely since so many sources indicated something different, but considering that Apple is testing many prototypes, anything is possible. It would not be excluded that Apple would have realized that a screen with a diagonal of 5.8 inches is not viable for implementation in the iPhone 8 and would have decided to reduce its final diagonal.
iPhone 8 – the sketch that announces a new screen diagonal
All the information that has appeared so far about the iPhone 8 confirms without a doubt that Apple is testing multiple prototypes of its new smartphone. These prototypes of the iPhone 8 have various design elements that are different, so it would not be excluded that the screens of these prototypes have different diagonals for testing the viability in view of the launch.
There is also the possibility that the iPhone 8 screen has a diagonal of 5.7x inches, and those who created this sketch did not mark it as 5.8 inches. Separated from the screen, we can see that the Power button seems to be divided into two pieces in the iPhone 8, but for now it is not known if this change will bring news for functionality.
Before concluding, I must remind you that although the iPhone 8 will have a 5.7 or 5.8 inch screen, only part of it will display information from applications or iOS. Approximately 0.5 inches of the iPhone 8 screen will be permanently dedicated to a menu that will display a virtual Home button and various control options, so it's good to know that.
