“A photo of a non-functional dummy iPhone 8 model that was seen in a bunch of photos earlier this week has now appeared in new ‘hands-on’ images,” Chris Smith reports for BGR. “But it’s likely a fake, considering what the most recent iPhone 8 reports have said.”
“Posted on SlashLeaks, the images show a device that looks like an iPhone 7 with a bigger display, a vertical dual lens camera on the back, and a rear-facing Touch ID sensor,” Smith reports. “That’s right, it’s the hideous iPhone 8 design that we all hate.”
“Everyone else is currently placing the fingerprint sensor on the back of all-screen smartphones,” Smith reports. “But that’s not something Apple will do with the iPhone 8.”

MacDailyNews Take: Placed into social media by a Samsung or similar in order to make rear-mounted fingerprint readers seem acceptable, even state-of-the-art, instead of what they really are: Shitty kludges.
We wouldn’t put it past the slavish copier to drop disinformation about the next-gen iPhone in order to normalize their crappily-placed rear-side Touch ID wannabe. – MacDailyNews, April 17, 2017
As can be seen by any rational (read: unpaid) review of Samsung’s Galaxy S8, fingerprint readers on the rear are inferior for many reasons (basic ergonomics, smudging of camera lens, etc.) to Apple’s traditional placement on the front of the iPhone. – MacDailyNews, April 13, 2017

Don’t you ever get tired of spewing crap?
. . . . . . . . . Apparently, not.
Funny, WriterGuy. Interestingly, and on point here, a dear friend of mine recently tried his first spoonful of Beluga caviar at a high-society soirée . . . and pronounced it crap. Hmm. It’s all in the palate, huh?
No, Truax, it really isn’t. You are using the physical sensation of taste as an analogy for “tastes” in politics?
Politics should reflect fact and reason far more than personal preference. Are you suggesting people vote based on preferences like height, gender, skin color, or hair color? Or the clothes that they wear? Politics has really gotten too superficial.
If he/she stopped, so would their Russian funding. 😉

Enough with the “Russian” bullshit, excuse-spewing, regional party losers.

I remember when this was a Mac discussion site. Would you kindly take your whining and attacks and vendettas elsewhere?
Could it be the 7s? Either way, if real, i don’t think it would sell well. I certainly wouldn’t pay for one.

I don’t understand how every discussion here turns to trolling and politics.
