While the actual announcement for the next and upcoming iPhone is literally months away, it doesn't feel like it actually is, at least in the creative industry. Apple in the recent times has been without a doubt, the most debated Fortune 500 firm consistently. Thanks to their industry-standard iPhone designs and a more secure mobile environment than the majority of Android's own platform, Apple continuously strives to please their customers every year.

As per usual, it's the iPhone 8 that's been the source of all chit chat that's taking place currently in most Apple-friendly forums. It's highly likely that the iPhone 8 is undoubtedly leading to a lot of intense speculations and even some graphical renders from a lot of artists online. This is something that we've kept seeing in the past. That said since Apple will be celebrating their 10th year anniversary of launching their iPhones into the market, Apple surely must've something really unique for the upcoming iPhone 8.

People have come across pointless iPhone 8 designs by now. That said, the following leak might lead to a very peculiar detail that we might witness from Apple this year. Apple seems to have planned to ditch the physical touch home button for the iPhone 8.

It might be true after all, after taking a look at a graphical image render from designer Al-Hasan Husni. BGR reports that the touch-ID technology on the iPhone 8 will now be rather implemented right into the display which is expected to be curved on all four sides. If rumors are to be believed, an AMOLED panel might finally make it into the design that'll also help save a lot of battery for users who mostly rely on smartphones for their daily work.

Other reports from Yahoo's technology division also points out about the shape of the iPhone that's already been existent in Samsung's flagship devices for some time now. Galaxy S6 Edge paved way for a curved-side display that continues to be in existence even now. With the following render, Apple will only be copying the way Samsung designs their phones, by implementing such a display in the iPhone 8.

Copyright infringements are nothing new to both these corporate supergiants who've involved themselves in one or the other legal battles throughout the year. But that said, a curved edge display doesn't really suit Apple's design and the way people have seen iPhones throughout the years. It might be unique for Apple's smartphone sector, but the same won't be termed innovative for the iPhone 8 or for smartphones in general.
