If the recent leaks turn out to be true then the iPhone 8 will featuring a bezel less, edge-to-edge OLED display. This has prompted many suggestions that perhaps the Touch ID fingerprint sensor will be integrated underneath the display itself, which means that a new type of sensor will read the fingerprint. Keeping the above in mind, SlashLeaks reported alleged render images comparing size of iPhone 8 against Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ from iDrop News. These will give Apple fans a better idea about the dimensions of the new iPhone 8.
