An iPhone 8 mockup based on all the latest rumors looks like quite a hit. The iPhone concept art from designer Imran Taylor builds on rumors that Apple might ditch the iPhone 7’s aluminum frame in favor of a stainless steel band sandwiched by two pieces of curved glass.
Taylor’s detailed renders show how incredible the 10th anniversary iPhone might be, if it brings an all-new look rather than relying on the unibody design of the past few years.
Take a closer look.

Instead of using a home button, Taylor’s concept puts a secondary touchscreen at the bottom of the iPhone that packs a Touch ID fingerprint scanner behind it. The bottom display then dynamically adjusts based on what app you are using, kind of like a Touch Bar for iPhone. This would open up all sorts of new UI possibilities for apps.
Other changes include wireless charging and a Smart Connector on the iPhone’s back. The concept also repositions the secondary rear-camera lens so that it sits underneath the wide-angle lens, per recent rumors. Such camera improvements could allow iPhone 8 users to take augmented reality and parallax photos, and also might enable 3D facial recognition.

I don’t like it!
I think that it better be big or Apple will be in trouble. The rumors about no home button, wireless charging and better display need to be accurate. I’ve been happy with my iPhone6 and need motivation to lay down twice as much for a new phone.

But won’t.
Where’s the headphone jack? I know a whole lot of people who are ready to ditch their old iPhones when they bring the headphone jack back!
you’re joking right?
