The past few months have been dominated by various leaks of the new iPhone with most focusing on its new bezel-less design. Most of the leaks differ partially from one another but one thing has been made certain -- Apple is set to celebrate its tenth anniversary in style.

Here's when iPhone 8 is expected to be released

However, the latest leak is probably the most complete leak so far with a Reddit user kamikasky sharing razor sharp photos of the iPhone 8’s front and back panels.

Most of this information aligns with previous rumours but there are a few updates such as the small cutout at the top for the front facing camera and sensors along with a vertically aligned rear camera that would presumably aid the augmented reality ambitions revealed earlier this month in iOS 11.

The iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus could also be seen in one of the photos with both phones showing a switch from aluminium to glass chassis. This switch, according to Kamikasky, was to get wireless charging on the device.



The iPhone 8 is rumoured to have a revolutionary new design with a bezel-less OLED display and a new 3D camera. The phone is expected to launch during the fall season.

Is this what the iPhone 8 may look like?

Of course, we can't be certain until we find the device in Tim Cook’s hand during its launch event, but with the history of accurate leaks surrounding the iPhone releases, the biggest question at this stage is what the iPhone will be called.
