We are still several months away from the release of the iPhone 8, but that hasn’t stopped the rumours and leaks from flooding the internet.
Just hours after a CAD drawing was shared by Benjamin Geskin, the same source has provided iDrop News with insider information about the iPhone 8’s design.
According to this new report, the iPhone 8 will be substantially larger than the iPhone 7. Factory workers “with intimate knowledge of Apple’s latest device” claim that the iPhone 8’s dimensions come in at 143.59 x 70.94 x 7.57 mm compared to the iPhone 7’s 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1 mm. If the leak is accurate, the iPhone 8 will be taller, wider and thicker than the iPhone 7.
Geskin mocked up the following image for iDrop News to demonstrate the size of the iPhone 8 in comparison to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus:
Geskin also mocked up an image with the supposed iPhone 8 design sitting in between the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+:
Although we can’t confirm or deny this data ourselves, a slightly larger iPhone 8 would certainly fit in with the other leaked images and reports we’ve seen in past few weeks.

Those Galaxy phones sure are ugly.
Who still makes Android phones besides Samsung? I don’t follow Android very closely, but it always seemed to me like every other Android brand made better looking phones than Samsung. Yet Samsung seems to be on top. Does HTC still exist? They had nice looking phones.
I’m definitely excited for this phone ????????
I would not buy the new iPhone if it’s actually shaped like that I’d rather a simple screen than a cut out one.
Not too thrilled with the thickness. Was hoping for thinner.
Finally my dream iPhone. Been waiting years for this. Bye bye bezels!
