Ben Miller works for a publisher that owns a site that sells iPhone repair kits. Yesterday, they received a dummy iPhone 8 in the mail from one of their Chinese manufacturers.
Here’s a picture of the so-called iPhone 8, next to an iPhone 7 Plus:

Here’s another tweet showing the front and back:
#iPhone8 Design-Dummy, das Display wäre größer als jenes eines Plus-Modells, aber im Gehäuse eines regulären. pic.twitter.com/wflyGMAHBt

Supposedly, there are no plans for a plus-sized version of this model. Makes sense, given the device’s large screen real estate.
Is this the real deal? Judge for yourself. We’ll likely know in about a month.
