CIOL Another Apple leak suggests wireless charging for iPhone 8

Rumour mills have been buzzing with iPhone 8 related rumours for quite some time and looks like we now know quite a lot about Apple's 10th-anniversary special phone that will reportedly include three different models.

Joining the long list of speculations, a new image from @OnLeaks suggests that the next iPhone could feature wireless charging. The schematic clearly shows a rounded surface at the back of the device, indicating that there should be a conductive surface to charge the device.

Besides this, one can clearly see that there are two cameras on the back, oriented vertically. The flash could sit in the middle. At the bottom of the device, one can see that the headphone jack is definitely not coming back. While multiple leaks showed a Touch ID sensor on the back of the device, you can’t see it on this leak. Maybe Apple found a way to integrate the Touch ID sensor in the display.

Speculations are rife that the new phone will feature 2.5D glass on the front and back, with a stainless steel mid-frame sandwiched between them. The front will feature a new OLED display with a vastly improved screen-to-body ratio.

Notably, the top of the device features four different holes next to the speaker which means that the next iPhone could have two selfie cameras and maybe a selfie flash. Also, just like Samsung and LG, Apple is expected to fill the front of its phone with a screen, removing the physical home button and extending the screen to the edges of the device. Apple could move away from the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio too.
