Alleged iPhone 8 Prototype Finds Its Way Online

Based on all the leaks we’ve seen so far, it’s safe to say that unless they’ve all been wrong, Apple’s iPhone 8 later this year will hardly come as a surprise to anyone. However in a recent tweet by Benjamin Geskin, he has posted several photos that are allegedly that of the iPhone 8 prototype.

What’s different about these leaks is that the handset in question looks nothing like what we’ve seen so far. In fact in some instances it looks like it could have easily passed off as a Samsung handset, although if there is one thing consistent it would be how thin the bezels are, corroborating the rumors that the iPhone 8 will adopt a near bezel-less display.

It is entirely possible that the handset in question is real, but that it could have been an early prototype, which means that it won’t be the final design. The photos only show the front of the phone and not the back, meaning that we’re not sure if this particular prototype has the fingerprint sensor on the back.

In any case it’s best taken with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys make of this design? Would this have been an iPhone you would have loved to get your hands on? Or are you glad that maybe Apple might have gone with a different design?
