Unofficial 'iPhone 8' design leaked by McDonald's promo

Apple's upcoming 'iPhone 8,' is perhaps the most leaked unreleased product in recent times. Not only did Apple's own HomePod firmware yield various hints at the device's new design as well as its features, there's been no shortage of part, cases and renders that give us a good idea of what Apple's most important product looks like. 

McDonald's is the latest to jump into the leak bandwagon with their bizarre use of an iPhone 8 mockup to showcase their mobile app. Circulating the above mockup images in emails sent to customers, McDonald's Australia may have jumped the gun on the iPhone. The image shows a new edge-to-edge display and a slim ribbon for cameras and sensors.

The 27-inch Apple iMac with Retina 5K Display is singular in offering the very best performance combined with display innovation on an all-in-one Mac desktop today.

Apple's iMac may not look like the vanguard of the desktop PC market it once was. The current form factor is familiar but rather dated. But, there's no denying the appeal and sensibility of this proven all-in-one design.

The latest 27-inch 5K iMac looks like its predecessors of years past, yet it packs enough innovation in display technology as well as power under the hood to be the most powerful Mac ever built. That is, until the Darth Vader-inspired iMac Pro finally ships at the end of the year.
