Though the launch of the "
iPhone 8" is months away,
Case makers have already started creating cases for the device based on leaked design renderings and schematics.
A
Case designed for the
iPhone 8 surfaced on Alibaba, and was purchased by Japanese site
Mac Otakara for a ****** of images and a video. We've already
seen some iPhone 8 cases so the design shouldn't come as a surprise, but this particular
Case includes comparisons to both the
iPhone 7 and the
iPhone 7 Plus, giving us a
Clear Picture of how the
iPhone 8 might fit into the
iPhone lineup if the
Case design is an accurate representation of the finalized device.
As can be seen in the images, the
Case is a good deal smaller than the
iPhone 7 Plus, but slightly larger than the
iPhone 7. That's in line with rumors suggesting the
iPhone 8 will be similar in
Size to the
iPhone 7, but with a display that's much larger (and edge-to-edge), closer in
Size to the
iPhone 7 Plus display.
An
iPhone 7 placed directly inside the
Case suggests the
iPhone 8 will be about the same width as the
iPhone 7, but quite a bit taller. Rumors have also suggested the
iPhone 8 will be slightly thicker than the
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, and
Mac Otakara says the
iPhone 7 is **ticeably thinner, with the
Case being "quite loose feeling."
Leaked design renderings and schematics have suggested the
iPhone 8 could measure in at 144mm tall, 71mm wide, and 7.7mm thick,
Compared to the
iPhone 7 dimensions of 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1mm.
The
Case features a vertical camera cutout to accommodate a rumored vertical dual-lens camera, which may be larger in
Size than the camera in the
iPhone 7 Plus, based on a comparison.
Volume buttons, the power button, and other ports seem to be in generally the same location as the current
iPhone 7, with some small variations. The volume buttons and the mute switch are the same
Size as the buttons on the
iPhone 7, but the spacing is slightly different.
Because Apple has tested multiple
iPhone 8 prototypes, it's difficult to determine whether this
Case accurately depicts the final design of the device. Most of the rumors and design leaks have centered on a device that's similar to the
iPhone 8
Case Mac Otakara purchased, with ** visible
Touch ID button, but we've also seen leaks featuring an aluminum device with a rear Touch ID button.
Once we start seeing legitimate part leaks, we should have a much better idea of what to expect when Apple introduces the
iPhone 8 this fall.
