iPhone 8 rumours have picked up pace, and today's bout of leaks bring more information on design, certain specification details, and the fact that the iPhone 8 may unfortunately skip the new fingerprint technology expected to be embedded underneath the display, and instead opt for other less exciting options.

A schematics image leak on Weibo sheds light on iPhone 8 design details, indicating that it could not sport a completely-bezel-less wraparound display, but instead just reduce bezel chin on all sides, and try to make it as edge-to-edge as possible. The fingerprint sensor  is available at the back, below the  logo of Apple. In iPhone 8 the dual camera  is situated vertically.

The company has been facing a lot of problems  due to the  fingerprint technology. Arcuri suggests that Apple could solely rely on facial recognition as a fall back option, or it could move the Touch ID fingerprint sensor at the back of the phone, even though it is not user friendly.

 MacRumors conjointly got hold of a report by Arcuri, and it reveals that each one the 3 iPhones can have 3GB of RAM, and whereas the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s and can keep on with the 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage variants, the iPhone eight are going to be offered in 64GB and 256GB configurations solely. The report conjointly states that the iPhone eight can have 2 battery packs to extend battery life, and can still sport a Lightning port.
The iPhone eight is to boot expected to introduce wireless charging, waterproofing, a front 3D device camera, and no Home Button.
