According to the subreddits moderators, the identities of the posters have been verified with proper documentation and evidence, but its not clear how trustworthy the information is - AppleInsider notes that theres some basis to take this information with a grain of salt, and the mods noted that theyre only able to verify that the users in question would have access to this information.
AR Glasses
According to Foxconninsider, the project is called Project Mirrorshades (A reference to a 1980s Cyberpunk anthology?), which would be designed to bring AR to a larger audience.
The glasses consist of a Kopin NED Acetate frame, Polarisized or prescription lens with Zeiss smart optics, Bone induction modules Microphones (noise cancellation), Light sensor Accelerometer for step tracking and head movement, app navigation Magnetometer for navigation, Capacitive Pavel Ceramic battery, Apple chipset, [and] Charging circuit BL5 Induction module. They also reportedly came in crystal, champagne, and black colors.
Movement would play some role in the function of the glasses: Foxconninsider noted that for an app like Tinder, a user could shake their head for no, or nod for yes. A small capacitive strip on the arm would allow users to accept calls and control the volume, while Siri could also be used to make calls. The device would use a prism that conveys NED display image to lens, and would have 428x240 resolution.
The insiders noted that they only saw a transparent reader lens but I understand they can procure polarised or prescription lenses, that the frames were Cellulose acetate Injection mold frames into an aluminum mold, that they came in two sizes (men and womens), and that they had a P3 frame design. There was also the possibility that there would be seasonal design updates. The materials cost for the devices would be around $150, which Foxconninsider noted would likely place the retail price in the $600.
Its not clear if Mirrorshades will go forward, however. Foxconninsider explained that while they were a unique design, there was a 65 percent chance that the entire project would be canceled, because the batteries are difficult to produce.
iPhone 8
Foxconninsider referred to the overhauled iPhone as the iPhone X, and that production has been delayed, which is in line with some rumors that have surfaced recently. The user noted that some of the leaked designs werent accurate, and explained that the new version looked more like an iPhone 7 with glass and without the AuthenTec's capacitive touch module. When asked if which leaked image it looked like the most, they said that the middle one was the most accurate. The rear camera has been reoriented, and the bezel on the phone will be thinner on the Y-axis.
They also reported that they saw some test units with fingerprint scanners mounted below the glass, but performance and yield rates were not good. They explained that they havent seen a rumored rear fingerprint scanner, speculating that it might have been misinformation. The phone will apparently also use Facial Detection and a Retina Scanner, which will be included in the front facing camera modules.
They detailed some other tidbits about the overhauled model: it would come with 3GB RAM, that it doesnt have an aluminum unibody, but instead had a composite glass to allow wireless charging, with a rear panel. They also noted that the new iPhone will be water resistant (a feature already shared by the iPhone 7), and that they wont use USB-C.
