New video reveals redesigned iPhone 8 in all its glory

Designer and leaker Benjamin Geskin has posted a short video online, showcasing what he claims to be an identical dummy unit of the iPhone 8.

Backing up a lot of previous rumors about the next-gen handset, Geskin’s iPhone features a curved glass infinite display, lack of physical Home button, and vertical dual camera setup. Check it out below.

In a subsequent tweet, Geskin noted that, “This is just [a] Chinese mockup” and “Not [a] real phone or prototype.”

What’s not clear from the video, or his comments, is whether this is built by someone in the supply chain with exact knowledge of what Apple will be releasing this fall, or if it’s from someone speculating based on online rumors. He also shared a schematic of what he claims to be the new iPhone 8:

Previously, Geskin has shared images that he claims to be authentic leaks, as well as his own imaginings of what Apple may be planning, or could have released — such as this design for a subtly different PRODUCT (RED) iPhone 7.
