The photos also show an enlarged power button. It's not confirmed yet why, but earlier leaks mention that the company didn't manage to embed the fingerprint sensor under the display, so they decided to place the Touch ID on the power button. We also heard rumors that the iPhone 8 might ditch the Touch ID altogether and feature facial recognition only, but at this point, the power button Touch ID is more probable.
