New Renders Show a Powered-On iPhone 8

[Maura]

Yesterday we brought you happy news via Forbes and AppleInsider that it looks like the final iPhone 8 design will not have a rear Touch ID sensor after all. Today, BGR has posted exclusive 3D model images provided by the third-party case-maker Nodus that show how the new phone looks from all angles, and even with the display powered on. Both Forbes and BGR seem convinced that what Nodus is showing us is very close to the final design, so this could be the best idea to date of what the iPhone 8 will look like. And hopefully this means that Apple has settled on the final design.

As far as when this stunning new iPhone might actually be released, elsewhere on the site BGR writes that according to “trusted sources” quoted by French-language Apple fan site iGeneration, Apple could be planning to postpone the iPhone 8 launch event until October, later than usual, and then release the phone in limited quantities just a few weeks later. The aim of Apple making the announcement later than usual could be to make the delayed release date less obvious than if the phone was announced in September.
