While various videos and images have emerged in the past showing the alleged iPhone 8 design, a new video today may offer the clearest look yet at Apple’s flagship device. Coming via Tiger Mobiles and Onleaks, this video goes hands-on with an iPhone 8 dummy unit in extraordinary detail and in HD quality…
The video arguably offers our best look yet at the iPhone 8’s design. We can see the nearly bezel-free design in great detail, as well as the all-glass back and vertical dual-camera array. The camera bump is also there in all of its glory.
In addition to offering a hands-on look at the device, the video also takes a ruler to the device to see just how big it’s going to be. The measurements here show the device as coming in at 143.50 x 71.03 x 7.46 mm, which is slightly smaller all around than earlier reports have claimed. At its thickest point (i.e. at the camera bump), the iPhone 8 measures 9.1 mm.
For comparison’s sake, the iPhone 7 measures 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm, while the iPhone 7 Plus comes in at 158.2 x 77.9 x 7.3 mm. Because of its shift to a 5.8-inch display with a new aspect ratio, the iPhone 8 is taller than the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 but not as hefty as the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus, though it is a bit thicker.
Like many recent iPhone 8 leaks, this video is based on a dummy unit built from a 3D CAD:
Over the weekend we saw a set of iPhone 8 dummy images emerge showing the all-glass design and more. Most recent leaks have depicted the device as having no obvious rear-placed Touch ID, hinting that it may be built-in to the display after all.
As we inch closer to Apple’s unveil later this year it seems we’re seeing consistent themes in terms of what sort of design the iPhone 8 will offer. Dummy unit leaks continue, while part leaks have also just recently started to emerge.
