hey what is up guys MTV HD here and yes first things first we have already made a video about all the things we think we know about iPhone 8 all the rumors all rounded up in one place so the things we think we might know the things we may not know some really interesting stuff in there I will leave that link below but this this is taking it to the next level so this has happened before but this is a model actual physical in hand representation of all these leaks and rumors and everything we know about the next iPhone and what we're expecting of it so this is something like what case manufacturers might get their hands on to start to design their iPhone 8 cases and start to prototype their iPhone accessories this is all the physical dimensions and everything based on what we know so thanks to Sonny Dixon again for helping us get our hands on this but I figured I'd get a little bit more in depth with it since we actually have one now so right off the bat first thing you notice of course is the display which has some really awesome edge to edge action but also has some interesting top sensor protrusion going on coming down from the top you may have seen this in the latest leak where the home pod firmware had a little bit of a silhouette developers found that represents the next iPhone and it has this indentation at the top for these front-facing sensors it looks a little bit weird in the glyphs but seeing it in real life this is what it would look like and honestly still looks a little bit funky but now that you see how the display kind of wraps around that bar with the rounded edges everywhere it still looks really interesting reminds me of the renders of the essential phone actually which we have also yet to see in person but obviously this is what it looks like my biggest question is what Apple plans to do with the software you know will they put stuff up there in the top corners maybe battery to one side the signal strength to the other side and then notifications in the middle whatever they do it'll be really interesting to see but obviously the bigger story with this model is literally the screen to body ratio this has always been a weakness of the iPhone it's 20:17 bezels are shrinking the iPhone has had a massive forehead and chin and even side bezels forever iPhone 7 plus had a 5.5 inch display this year but it's still one of the biggest phone bodies on the market iPhone 8 model has what measures up to be a five point seven to five point eight inch diagonal but in a smaller body so this is a big deal for the modernization of iPhone design for sure smaller body more handheld more pocketable so thanks to some After Effects magic this is what the display on the front of the iPhone might look like when it's on with iOS 11 again not really sure exactly what they do with the status bar up top we play around this for a bit but you can see it gets a lot closer to that 2017 ceiling of just holding a display in your hands will be more breakable and fragile because of this design you know getting closer to the corners of course but let's be really worth it and people are kind of breaking their phones anyway so now for some other quick things you may notice about this body number one is the glass back so the iPhones up to this point have had these metal backs which of course feel and look super premium but of course don't support wireless charging wireless charging doesn't work through metal this iPhone 8 model has a glass back very similar to what we've seen in Samsung phones like the galaxy s 8 and Note so you can support wireless charging but keep the metal on the sides and still keep that premium feel in the hand the other thing is the camera bump on the back is of course still there it's pretty big but of course this is what we've been seeing for months now and leaks about the new iPhone new orientation for the camera sensors flash in the middle and between them and hopefully these new cameras get a spec bump to go with that big camera bump and take some more awesome photos and videos with this new year the power button on the side is something I noticed it's in the same place but it is a little bit bigger which is interesting because of the rumor that Apple might try to stick a fingerprint reader in the power button this year since they couldn't get it to work under the display in time but the most recent info suggests that this will be a normal power button and Apple will go all out with 3d facial recognition for unlocking your phone securely allegedly that can be just as safe if not more so than the fingerprint but you already know I'm gonna be testing that and then yeah just the overall premium look and feel of this model it's way nicer than early renders obviously just like it ended up being every year the glass even kind of has this 3d curve right at the edges sort of melts into the side rail so it's smooth around there it's smooth to hold but that is pretty much it and honestly this is as close as we're going to get to seeing the next iPhone shorter stolen actually leaking the phone in person but I let me know what you think is this something you would rock in 2017 and 2018 as iPhone 8 maybe share this video with your friends who are interested in seeing what iPhone 8 will look like but until then that's been it thank you for watching talk to guys the next one peace
