A couple of days ago, a leaked schematic revealed in part what the iPhone 8 could look like. Now thanks to a new photo uploaded onto Weibo by user Wei Feng and translated by iClarified, some additional details have emerged. Note that this particular schematic looks similar to the one we saw earlier.

However this one comes with labels that tell us what parts we can expect. For the most part it looks pretty standard and “confirms” the new camera layout, but what’s interesting is that this schematic points to the fact that there are dual front-facing cameras. This is particularly interesting given the rumors that Apple could be introducing a 3D laser scanner that could be used to scan and recognize faces for security purposes.

This has us wondering if maybe that’s why there is a dual-lens setup on the front. The labels also confirm that the big round circle in the middle of the phone we saw in the earlier leak is for wireless charging. It claims that it is a Qi wireless charging coil, although at this point we have to wonder if it might just end up being similar to previous wireless charging solutions that rely on a charging mat.

Other than that, the rest of the phone’s innards appear to be the same. There is no mention of Touch ID but maybe it’s just not shown in the drawing, but either way take it with a grain of salt for now.
