iPhone 8 real-world look simulated using dummy unit with edge-to-edge display

If you haven’t been at least a little excited by the iPhone 8 leaks we’ve seen so far, Benjamin Geskin’s latest preview based on rumors creates a rather realistic look at what we can expect later this year. Geskin has matched an alleged iPhone 8 dummy unit with a printed image under a glossy screen protector to simulate what the iPhone 8 could look like in the wild.
As we’ve seen in previous coverage of this particular dummy unit, we see a dramatically reduced bezel that goes edge-to-edge and drops the forehead and chin in favor of a nearly full-screen display. The one exception is the top center where the speaker, camera, and other sensors are located. While the final design certainly isn’t known yet, Geskin expects this approach to be what Apple ships later this year.
Adding to the iPhone 8 eye candy is a short video clip of the dummy unit all dressed up with one of the new iOS wallpapers to simulate how a functional unit might look… it’s a significant leap forward from the current iPhone design



The wallpaper Geskin used is part of a beach themed collection of images that appeared within the iOS 10.3.3 beta only for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but they have since appeared on the 10.5-inch iPad Pro and new 12.9-inch iPad Pro running iOS 10.3.2.
A video shared on Geskin’s Twitter account has further provided a glimpse into the iPhone 8 dummy in motion.

The iPhone 8 is predicted to to be the first major iPhone redesign since the iPhone 6 in 2014, with additional features such as wireless charging and improved waterproofing to further bolster the smartphone’s position as a premium device. Alongside the iPhone 8 will be the “iPhone 7s” and “iPhone 7s Plus,” which are expected to keep the current iPhone 7 design while offering the usual iterative spec bumps like improved battery life and snappier performance.
