IPhone 8 would have a design surpassing everything that has been manufactured so far. According to multiple sources, Apple would have created a device with an almost absent bezel, a fingerprint sensor and a front camera integrated under the screen. A possible first point, but a third that seemed to have no meaning ... until now.
The explanation is drawn from two independent leaks that overlap to perfection. The first comes directly from Weibo, the second from a detailed layout of Benjamin Geskin, obtained through Apple's supply chain.
Both revealed that the iPhone 8 will actually have an almost edgeless design, but that the front camera (or cameras) will not be placed under the screen. Instead, a "cutout" will be made in order to leave space for important information such as the time, date, or power of telephone networks and wifi. The company Sharp should also adopt this process with the forthcoming release of its Aquos R Compact.
Of course, the question that everyone is asking is: where will notifications be relegated, with the removal of such a space?
The answer already seems almost obvious with the new "function area". A touch bar similar to that of MacBooks will replace the home button as it is known today. It would be easier, if one follows this logic of zone, to consult its information in more detail. Enhanced comfort by the new 5.8-inch screen as expected.
Needless to say, all this information that seems to overlap to perfection, will be confirmed only when Tim Cook will be on stage in September.
With a "plan B" design now offside, no doubt the expectations for the iPhone 8 are more vivid than ever.
