iPhone 8 Leak: How an iOS Developer Discovered Apple's Slip-Up

When developer Guilherme Rambo saw that Apple had released firmware for the upcoming HomePod speaker, he thought it must have been a mistake. The HomePod doesn't come out until December, after all. Curiosity piqued, he started digging through the code, where he found perhaps the last thing he expected: Apple's next iPhone. While some details regarding Apple's redesigned, high-end iPhone--called the iPhone 8 or iPhone Pro, though no one outside Cupertino knows the official name yet--had previously leaked, Rambo found in the HomePod not rumors or hints but Apple's own documentation of one of its biggest releases in years. It confirms a new look with a slimmer bezel, the death of the home button, and a powerful new face-recognition feature.
