The next-generation iPhone is set to be unveiled, like clockwork, in September to the delight of Apple fans around the world, so the iPhone 8 Concept X Edition shows off what some users want to see in the new device when it's showcased.
Designed by Philippines-based industrial designer, Imran Taylor, the conceptual iPhone 8 features a slim profile and a touch-sensitive lower bezel that replaces the home button that has been found on the device since its inception.

The cameras also feature the ability to take augmented reality photos, which has been rumored to be a feature that's heading to the next-generation device.
