New rumor claims iPhone 8 is hiding a fingerprint sensor, however not wherein we thought

A kind of iPhone 8 rumors emerged over the weekend, speakme about wireless charging as well as new colour alternatives, while a video confirmed us a palms-on preview of an iPhone eight dummy unit. On pinnacle of that, we also have a questionable rumor from Asia that supposedly well-knownshows a few exciting tidbits approximately the iPhone 8, together with the phone’s call and an sudden region for the fingerprint sensor.
We might refer to Apple’s hottest 2017 iPhone as the iPhone 8 whilst speaking approximately it, however that’s possibly now not going to be the smartphone’s official name. IPhone Plus isn't always what we’d anticipate Apple to name it because it already makes use of the Plus moniker for the five.5-inch iPhone. Think approximately it, iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone Plus sounds silly, doesn’t it?
That’s one reason why this Weibo rumor seems questionable — though it’s really worth noting that no person is certain that the opposite  models can be referred to as the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus.

There’s one other reason why this rumor isn’t necessarily sound right. According to this leak, the iPhone eight would ship with wi-fi charging support within the box. But simplest the other day we heard from John Gruber, a properly-related Apple blogger, that wi-fi charging might not be prepared in time for the iPhone eight’s launch. Gruber heard that the inductive charging accent could be bought one at a time, and that the feature can be enabled once iOS 11.1 arrives.

Getting returned to the Weibo leak, it additionally offers some details that we’ve already heard from different sources. The document says the iPhone eight will ship in a selection of colours, inclusive of a hue that would remind lovers of the unique iPhone — that appears regular with a recent report. Furthermore, the same leak says the iPhone eight can be available in 64GB or 256GB versions, which is likewise in step with previous rumors.
Finally, there’s a further thrilling detail. The document says the Touch ID fingerprint sensor continues to be gift on the iPhone eight, but it’s not embedded in the show or at the again of the telephone. Instead, the sensor can be placed in that elongated domestic button on the aspect of the iPhone 8, in step with this rumor.

We’re extraordinarily skeptical, however crazier things have passed off. Here’s a tough Google Translate version of this Weibo rumor.
