Graphic designer envisions the iPhone 8

We've all heard about the rumored specs for the Apple iPhone 8, such as the curved edge-to-edge AMOLED screen that practically covers the entire front of the phone. Touch ID is either embedded in the display, or replaced by a face detection system using a "revolutionary" front-facing camera to unlock the phone and to provide verification. The size of the OLED screen is said to be 5.8-inches, although some of that is earmarked for the embedded home button. The active display will be approximately 5.1 to 5.15-inches.

Earlier today, we told you about a report out of Japan that said there will be a delay in the release of the Apple iPhone 8 (aka iPhone X or iPhone edition). According to Macotakara, Apple is still working out the design of the unit and is testing various combinations of parts and materials. While the iPhone 8 could be unveiled with the rest of the 2017 iPhone line in September, it might not be released until November.

With that in mind, we are probably months away from seeing a proper leak of the device. To wile away the time, graphic designer AlHasan Husni has put together a mockup of the Apple iPhone 8 that is based on the rumored specs. Husni even included a "dark mode" for iOS 11 that many iPhone users have been hoping for. The mockup allows users to swipe right on the function area to access multitasking mode, and the virtual home button includes haptic feedback. Would you be happy if the tenth anniversary iPhone looks like Husni's mockup? You can check out the images by clicking on the slideshow below.

If he's a graphic designer, Am sure I will never hire him, having text that close to the edge especially in a "curved" phone is 101 Graphics Design (The Search Text).

Too early for these fake pics. But sure it will be great. But I will probably wait till next year. My 6s plus is super smooth and battery kicks butt. Takes better pictures then my Note 3. Also want to see what problems these new flag ships might have.

If Apple made an iPhone that looked like a stretched S6, with a semi curved display and at least QHD, I'd buy it. But I don't see Apple doing this. If the do, what are the Apple going to say about the Galaxy S6-like iPhone with a curved display and dual glass design. All the crap they claimed was bad about the S6 and S7 edge will all go out the door and they will claimed Apple curved it better and then compare it to the S6 and say see Apple did better with their first. Not considering that we took all the steps for them to jump in after we make the best option. But and iOS running phone that looks more like my Galaxy would certainly get my attention Apple. But the specs gotta be on Galaxy S7 level at the least. Nothing less...not for $1000. It's needs to be like the S7 edge Batman Edition with a nice unique color scheme and design vs the other models. Let's see what they do.

Why so much bickering over someone's preferred OS? I personally don't care for Apple or iOS. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with it. Its just not as customizable as I would like. I like Android OS. Almost every article somebody starts the "apple is just copying Samsung" and vice versa argument. Who cares?! All that means is Android will get some of iOS best features and vice versa, either way we as the consumer are going to win in the end.

This is actually insanely gorgeous. If this ends up being the real design, It'll look so good alongside my future S8 Plus. Ya'll can cry about dual curved screens being *gimmicky* and *pointless* all you want, but in the end...it doesn't matter, because they'll continue to exist and evolve with or without your saltiness. Apple entering the mix with a dual curve display is only going to cause more and more OEMs to adopt the tech...and I for one am ready for the dual curve revolution.

What revolution? It already happened years ago with Samsung. This isn't a revolution, it is a copycat from the fruit company.

Of course, but I meant revolution as in all the other big league OEMs (HTC, LG, Moto, etc) finally join in. Also, @SleeperOne, you're very welcome for the preaching. /not s

So, it will be a Samsung phone with an Apple logo on the back? Designed in Cupertino, California by Apple. Made with parts by Samsung of South Korea. Assembled in China.

So you want a Samsung phone with an outdated, ugly and childish looking operating system called iOS? Well, good for you. I guess there needs to be someone who likes it.

"So you want a Samsung phone with an outdated, ugly and childish looking operating system called iOS?" Yes. I'll take childish looking over a goddamn mess (Green robot anyone?) that is the very definition of "outdated" as soon as you take it out of the box. Waiting for 7.1.2 are we? Well you'll be waiting....8 months to be exact. Whatever... its all good. You'll just have to buy a new one to get the update, amirite?/s

amirite? What are you a 13 year old teenage girl? Who talks like that? You are the perfect demographic for a childish operating system like iOS. I'm glad that it works for you and your simple teen mind.

@DRS1977 You do realize you're being childish here, right? 1. You're commenting on an Apple article 2. Kiko simply responded to your comment 3. Then you replied with a childish comment, making fun of iOS You look dumb as hell right now. Logoff immediately.

@LebronJamesFanboy Stick to watching the NBA instead of talking about phones which you are completely clueless about. You and kiko the troll don't know anything about phones or technology. Keep dreaming your LeBron, maybe it will get you somewhere one day.
