Prototype iPhone 8 housing (PRB Stage) that was manufactured nearly 3 months before release.

After purchasing the housing and without telling me, the seller stupidly added an anti-tamper sticker inside placed over the unique prototype battery and Taptic Engine. The battery in this prototype has its regulatory information censored, and the Taptic Engine bears a different text layout, printed as:

“TAPTIC
ENGINE”

Instead of the usual (in regular iPhone 8 models):

“TAPTIC ENGINE”

Even though this prototype iPhone 8 is only a housing, I didn't want to leave the ugly unoriginal anti-tamper sticker inside, and I didn't want to add major wear to the prototype parts. So I spent the time to remove the sticker completly!

Short to the complete iPhone 8 PRB Prototype I own:
