Is That an iPhone 8 in Tim Cook’s Pocket?

Apple CEO, Tim Cook, on Thursday Tweeted a photo of himself that sent the web into a bit of a tizzy. No, the otherwise soft-spoken executive wasn’t doing anything vivacious or wearing anything out of the ordinary when the candid snapshot was taken, but what the internet is all abuzz about is what many allege to be the outline of an iPhone 8 handset protruding from Cook’s front-right pocket.

The image was shared to Twitter on Thursday by Cook, himself, and appears to have been captured without notice by someone in the group he was traveling with. Cook and Co. were visiting a manufacturing facility at the time in Cincinnati, Ohio, which belongs to CTS — Apple’s long-time manufacturing partner for testing equipment.

Now, we have no hard evidence to prove the device creating a bulge in Cook’s pocket is indeed the iPhone 8 — however it’s large and elongated enough to be an iPhone 8, at least, which will reportedly embody a form-factor whose size falls in between that of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but that is overall longer, rectangular, and features the same pronounced, curved corners we can see of the mystery device in Cook’s pocket.
