iPhone 8 is going to be launched without Touch ID by the Apple company, those from Cupertino reaching the conclusion that they can offer a more advanced biometric security system. We are talking here about a facial recognition system that Apple is currently testing for the iPhone 8, which is presented as having a higher level of security than Touch ID.
It is speculated that Apple cannot integrate Touch ID into the iPhone 8 screen, so it has been testing a facial recognition system all this time in order not to integrate Touch ID into the case. A fingerprint reader integrated into the iPhone 8 case would have upset many users, so Apple wants to allow us to scan our face to unlock the terminals, authorize payments through Apple Pay and not only that.
According to today's information, the new 3D front camera would perform facial recognition in the iPhone 8, with Apple also testing an iris scanning system. Facial recognition would be more secure than Touch ID for the iPhone 8, because it would record more identification elements than in the case of a fingerprint, so the level of security would be much higher.
iPhone 8 – Touch ID replaced by facial recognition and iris scanning
Unlike other implementations of facial recognition systems, the one in the iPhone 8 would be more secure because it would use a 3D scan of the face to recognize the user. In this idea, the iPhone 8 could not be tricked with a simple picture to unlock or authorize payments, as happens with the Samsung Galaxy S8, and Apple will make sure of this in order not to be embarrassed.
Considering the complexity of offering such a function, those from Apple are still testing it for the iPhone 8, so it is not yet certain whether it will be offered. The new function for iPhone 8 would also allow the opening of some secure applications after scanning the face, so Apple would prepare a multitude of extremely interesting functions for its new smartphone.
"The sensor's speed and accuracy are focal points of the feature. It can scan a user's face and unlock the iPhone within a few hundred milliseconds. It is designed to work even if the device is laying flat on a table, rather than just close up to the face. The feature is still being tested and may not appear with the new device. However, the intent is for it to replace the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, according to the person. Apple is testing an improved security system that allows users to log in, authenticate payments, and launch secure apps by scanning their face, according to people familiar with the product."
Considering that this new technology for iPhone 8 is in development, it remains to be seen what will be kept, Apple may decide to offer facial recognition, iris scanning, or any of them. Separately, the iPhone 8 could have Touch ID, but integrated into the case, and this would be an extremely bad decision that will definitely affect the image that the new smartphone will have.
That said, since this new iPhone 8 information comes from an American publication with a very good reputation, it's clear that Apple is testing a colossal change this year.
What do you think about this colossal change for iPhone 8?
