iPhone 8 leak suggests yet ANOTHER key Apple design will be removed from latest smartphone

Apple fans have only just gotten over the removal of the headphone jack... but will they be faced with yet more misery?

THIS latest Apple rumour might break the hearts of iPhone fans.

Leaked pictures appear to show evidence that wireless charging components are being installed in the top secret gadgets.

If true, that could mean the charging cable might be following in the footsteps of the headphone jack - straight to Room 101.

The charging pad snaps were shared on Chinese social media site Weibo.

Apple hasn't commented on the pictures, which have gone viral ahead of the iPhone 8 launch, expected to happen next month.

The tight-lipped tech firm has refused to confirm any details on the design or tech specifications.

So all we have to go on is a series of leaks and rumours from manufacturers and analysts close to the company.

McDonald's appeared to have accidentally revealed the new design of the mysterious, soon-to-be-released iPhone 8 in a promotional email.

It demonstrated the new software on an iPhone which looks strikingly different from those currently on the market.

But they later denied that they had revealed the new device.


RINGING IN THE CHANGES iPhone 8 rumours, leaks and pictures – from new blush gold colour to infrared facial recognition


They said: "We created a mock-up of a phone screen to show the functionality of our My Macca’s app.

"Any similarity to any other design is coincidental."

Analysts reckon Apple won't even call the new gadget the iPhone 8 and it will be instead called the iPhone Pro.

And a charging cable might not be the only thing missing.

Customers could be in for a "nasty surprise", one leaker has claimed.

Rumours suggest Tim Cook has forfeited the Touch ID for a facial recognition unlock system similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8.
