Kelly says that the renders feature \u201cthe final design\u201d and he \u201ccan confirm that,\u00a0despite problems, fears Apple would fall back on a less ambitious \u2018Plan B\u2019 are unfounded.\u201d<\/p>\n
That less ambitious Plan B design he refers is the one we hate \u2014 an iPhone 8 with a rear-facing Touch ID fingerprint sensor.<\/p>\n

The renders Kelly posted show a full-screen handset that features a cutout bezel at the top that houses the complex front-facing camera, speaker, and sensors array.<\/p>\n
On the back, we have a vertical dual camera. Kelly says this arrangement should help out with augmented reality features, \u201cwhere horizontally aligned cameras are more effective and the phone is expected to be held in a landscape orientation.\u201d That might be true, but there\u2019s also one other explanation for the orientation that\u2019s more practical. It\u2019s the only way to fit a dual camera on the rear, near the top left corner, given the front facing camera system that will consume plenty of space inside the phone.<\/p>\n
Kelly says the phone will have a Lightning connector on the bottom, and there\u2019s no 3.5mm headphone jack.<\/p>\n

Finally, the power button is a lot bigger than what we usually see on iOS devices. There\u2019s no explanation for that elongated power button. But Apple does have a patent that presents technology which would let it place a fingerprint sensor in a power button.<\/p>\n
In other words, Kelly\u2019s renders are 100% similar to previous leaks, some of them also based on CAD renders.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo how confident are Nodus and myself about the renders?\u201d Kelly asks. \u201cTo the extent that Nodus was happy for me to publicly disclose it as the source and reveal the company is prototyping its retail cases from them.\u201d<\/p>\n
All we need now is some official confirmation from Apple. Sadly, that will only come at some point in September.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 8 design leaks keep on coming, and a new series of renders was published online. They seemingly \u201cconfirm\u201d the iPhone 8\u2019s design.
