Apple iPhone 8 will debut a brand-new all-glass look, with a curved OLED display and no physical Home Button
The hotly-anticipated iPhone 8 appears to have been unmasked – months before its September release date.
Tipster Benjamin Geskin shared photographs of an alleged iPhone 8 dummy, leaked from Apple smartphone supplier Foxconn.
Provided this latest leak is accurate, the Apple iPhone 8 mock-up confirms a number of long rumoured features.
It looks as if Apple will ditch the physical Home Button from the front of the phone, enabling the display to bleed to the very edge of the chassis.
This follows similar trends from the likes of Samsung and LG.
Elsewhere, the dual camera set-up debuted with the iPhone 7 Plus looks set to make a return, albeit rotated 90-degrees so that it is stacked vertically.
Some sources believe this will enable advanced augmented reality (AR) features with the camera.
The volume rockers and mute switch are on the left hand-side of the alleged iPhone 8, while a sleep/wake is on the right.
This is identical to current generation iPhone models, however, one noticeable difference is that Apple appears to have elongated the sleep/wake button on the new iPhone.
Leakster Benjamin Geskin also published what he believes to be the final schematic diagram for the next iPhone.
According to the technical drawing, Apple will hide dual front-facing cameras beneath the display.
The Cupertino-based company is also expected to embed the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, which has traditionally been housed within the physical Home Button, underneath the glass.
The schematic diagram also reveals a new a noise-reduction microphone between the dual camera lens on the rear of the phone.
If the latest reports around the Apple iPhone 8, which will mark the 10th anniversary of the best-selling smartphone range, are to be believed – Apple is going to pull-out all the stops this September. Geskin published a list of headline features expected to ship with the iPhone 8.
The list includes – an all-new premium glass design, OLED display with True Tone, Touch ID hidden underneath the glass, wireless charging, 3D facial recognition, IP68 dust and water resistance rating, A11 system-on-a-chip, and long battery life.
It's worth stressing, that there is no way to verify whether all of these features will make the cut – or even be ready on time – for the iPhone launch date.
Previous reports suggest Apple is experimenting with 10 separate prototypes for the next iPhone.

Some of these dummy models include a rear-mounted Touch ID fingerprint sensor, others include one embedded beneath the display.
According to sources within Apple, there are still iPhone 8 prototypes that retain the physical Home Button.
Apple is expected to debut the iPhone 8 alongside the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, which will feature only a few minor upgrades, in September.
