iPhone packaging insert, leaked image from code hint at upcoming iPhone features and design

'Next iPhone,' rumours are year round news stories, specially in 2017 when Apple is heavily expected to release a model worthy of its 10th year anniversary. The latest information points to some reference designs seen from alleged packaging inserts showing a bezel-less iPhone as well as a confirmation of this new iPhone design from code derived from a HomePod software developer preview.

Knowing Apple, it is also quite possible they've solved the Touch ID through the touchscreen problem in time for the iPhone's release this Fall.
