Apple's next iPhone will reportedly feature an OLED screen that stretches from one end of the phone to the other, and it could sport a new design for its dual rear cameras. But we still don't know what Apple has planned for the phone's fingerprint sensor, at least based on renderings that allegedly rely on leaked iPhone 8 schematics.

The renderings, appearing on Chinese site iFanr, show an iPhone with a 5.8-inch screen (well, 5.768 inches, to be precise) in a 5.4 x 2.7-inch frame. For reference, that's roughly the same height as the iPhone 7, though slightly wider. There's very little bezel in this design — about 4 mm, according to the schematic.

What you won't see in the rendering is a screen that curves around the edges of the phone. Instead, the display is a flat screen that ends at the iPhone's edges. Early iPhone 8 rumors suggested that Apple was angling for a curved display on its next phone, though a number of analysts in recent weeks have suggested a flat screen is in the works.

Things get more interesting on the rear side of the iPhone 8 rendering, which shows the dual cameras on the new phone stacked vertically. That matches another schematic leaked last week that also showed Apple adopting a different layout for its cameras.

In fact, Apple is rumored to be making a big augmented reality push, and the iPhone 8 is expected to be one of the products that kickstarts that effort. Rumored features for the next iPhone include a 3D camera system that would be capable of overlaying virtual objects onto real world views. The redesigned camera layout on this iPhone schematic, if accurate, could be another sign that Apple is serious about AR features in the iPhone 8.
