Here's what people think about the leaked alleged iPhone 8 design
One of the most anticipated events of the year is approaching - the release of the iPhone 8. Although it’s slated to drop late summer, one particular leak has some scratching their heads.

This week, an image of the possible design hit the internet. It's similar to the iPhone 5 but flattened, and it moves the touch ID sensor from the front to the back of the device.
While the company hasn’t commented on the validity of the leak, folks have already given their feedback.
Many are completely opposed to the new look, showing particular distaste for the placement of the fingerprint ID.
I really hope the iPhone 8 won't go down the Samsung route by putting the fingerprint sensor on the back, as rumoured.

That'd be terrible.
I'm hoping that the rumor on the iPhone 8 is just a fake. That thing looks hideous tho.

Then there were a few who had some suggestions for Apple and the new design.
I hope Apple include VR headsets in their new iPhone 8. #FacebookSpaces

@MKBHD Don't you believe that a fingerprint sensor in the Apple logo would be awesome for the iPhone 8?

@AppleSupport you guys should put the fingerprint on the power button that's on the side of the phone for the iPhone 8.
