iPhone 8 & iPhone X Thread

Major Apple casemakers updating internal SKUs to ‘iPhone 8’, ‘iPhone 8 Plus’ and ‘iPhone Edition’

I’m here at IFA in Berlin, Germany which opens to the public today. Behind the scenes I’ve been discussing the upcoming iPhone launch on September 12th with many case vendors. At least two have heard, and have moved on, knowledge of the upcoming iPhone nomenclature and some details which they’ve separately learned from sources in Shenzhen who claim to have seen the new iPhone packaging.

First and most importantly, these people believe the names of the iPhones will be:

iPhone 8
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone Edition

One casemaker has updated their internal SKUs based on the information and is actively printing packaging which I was able to see in the form of preliminary artwork. The other had made sticker labels which they were showing to their retail partners behind closed doors. Both makers requested anonymity for obvious reasons.

If the new iPhones do indeed launch in September, Apple will need to have its OEM plants building and packaging these devices en masse now. Some of Foxconn’s army of workers will likely have seen this device packaging by this point.

That's the iPhone 8/x. The 7s I'm guessing will be physically similar if not identical to the current 7.

Edit: actually watching it again I reckon it's fake. It's not the 8/x. The bottom and top bezels are too big.
