iPhone 8 could have Face ID instead of Touch ID starting in 2017, and rumors appeared last week definitely suggested this change of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. Information that appeared this week about the iPhone 8 also suggests that Touch ID could be transformed into Face ID because Apple cannot integrate a fingerprint reader under the screen of the new smartphone.
iPhone 8 could have Face ID thanks to a new 3D camera and some laser and infrared sensors that Apple is preparing for the device that will be launched in the fall. Face ID is a very possible name for the new biometric facial recognition system that could debut in iPhone 8, the Apple company developing it as a solution for Touch ID, which would disappear completely.
The iPhone 8 should have been launched with a fingerprint reader integrated into the new OLED screen, but because the technology is not ready, Apple is considering facial recognition, so Face ID. Apple does not want to integrate Touch ID into the iPhone 8 case, and the only solutions are Face ID and a possible iris scanning system, but replacing the fingerprint reader with another system is a very big risk for Apple.
iPhone 8 – Face ID replaces Touch ID from 2017 for biometric security
iPhone 8 cannot remain without a biometric security system because Apple Pay should be disabled, so Face ID is the natural solution to replace Touch ID. Apple has definitely been developing Face ID for some time to be able to offer the system in the iPhone 8, and if they are serious about doing this, then it is at least as good as Touch ID, otherwise offering it would not make sense.
iPhone 8 will not be launched without Touch ID and Apple Pay, as some analysts have suggested, implying that Face ID would not be good enough to guarantee the security of mobile payments. The elimination of Apple Pay from the iPhone 8 cannot even be discussed, no matter how secure Face iD is, because Apple will definitely have a second security solution for customers.
iPhone 8 could still have another name for the facial recognition system, so not necessarily Face ID, but this is a logic for the Apple product line. My opinion is that it was time for Touch ID to evolve, and Face ID could be the natural evolution of this biometric security system, iPhone 8, going to bring this major change.
