UPDATE - 4/11/17: FOXCONN employee leaks supposed sketch of "Iphone 8":
Close concept:
Apparently a leaker by the name of KK got a hold of sketches made by a Foxconn employee who has seen plans for the phone. The leaker posted the pictures to Weibo before they were deleted. Most rumours are usually speculation, but it seems we're finally dipping into leak territory.
Key points, many consistent with previous rumours:
- 3D-sensing front-facing camera
- Two rear camera lenses in a vertical orientation, camera to be a big focus with 3D and augmented reality capabilities
- Mentions no openings on the front at all, but the sketch shows a speaker, unconfirmed if that and the camera are beneath the screen too (which has been rumored)
- No home button, fingerprint sensor probably embedded into screen
- No sensors visible on the front, all embedded into the screen
- Antennas in the corner of the phone
- Metal frame to have a curvature like the Apple Watch does
- Glass back

The blog claims the so-called "iPhone Edition" will use an improved version of the Apple Watch's stainless steel enclosure. It also says the smartphone, more commonly dubbed "iPhone 8" for now, will have a conventionally flat OLED display with 2.5D cover glassalong the edges, as rumored previously.
As seen in a few renders over the past few weeks, the report claims the "iPhone Edition" will be equipped with a vertically-aligned iSight Duo camera on the rear for VR shooting purposes. Accordingly, when the iPhone is used in a VR headset, the cameras would be positioned horizontally as customary.
