Ever since the first leak surrounding the iPhone 8 surfaced, it has become one of the most anticipated smartphones since the iPhone 6. It was the first time Apple ventured into releasing an iPhone which had a larger display. Since then, Apple has made subtle changes to their design which led to a decline in sales for the company.
However, the iPhone 8 is expected to have a fresh new design which has made it one of the most talked about smartphone on the internet. Now, this is the first time the general public is getting a look at a design mock-up of the iPhone 8 in real life.
These pictures were acquired by BGR and here's the rundown on the device:

This mockup was made from schematics that were leaked in the recent past and one can see that this version is reminiscent of the iPhone 7 as it has a similar bottom with a lightning port, two stereo speaker grills and no headphone jack.

One also notices that there is a glass back and no Touch ID sensor on the front of the phone.
It is rumoured that the iPhone 8 will adopt OLED screens for the new device and move the Touch ID sensor to the back of the smartphone.
There were reports that Apple was facing issues with embedding the Touch ID sensor below the screen and it would not be ready in time for launch.

These photos of the mockup are in line with the recent schematic leaks and it even features a 2.5D glass panel on the front. There is also a chrome-finished steel mid frame which is also rounded.

One can also see that the camera bump is significantly larger than previous iPhones. The dual camera setup is vertical and not horizontal when compared to the iPhone 7 Plus. The camera is expected to have the same optical zoom feature as the 7 plus but it may also have augmented reality features.
Apple is expected to announce their new range of iPhones in September; however, there might be a delay in the iPhone 8 hitting stores soon due to production problems.
