iPhone 8, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus are already in production at at least one of the company's partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the three new iPhone models to be launched "on time" by the Americans. Previous rumors suggested that the iPhone 8, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus will go into production in June or July, and now it seems that the terminals have already gone into production, but not mass production, but a trial one, with Foxconn starting the process.
iPhone 8 and iPhone 7S have entered trial production at Foxconn's factory in Zhengzhou, the company currently manufacturing approximately 200 units per day. Those from Foxconn most likely received a production order from Apple to see how many problem-free units of iPhone 8, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus can be manufactured daily by its employees at the moment.
iPhone 8, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus have many changes compared to the models released during the last year, so Foxconn has to do a test production to see how much it can produce without problems. This is the normal production process for any kind of new iPhone model, with Apple's partners starting a test production several months before launch to see how many functional units they can manufacture for the iPhone 8, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus.
iPhone 8, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus - production has started, Touch ID is under the screen
iPhone 8, in this phase of test production, would have the fingerprint reader integrated into the screen by Apple, according to the information source. There is a possibility that Apple has managed to develop the technology that implements the fingerprint reader of the iPhone 8 under the screen and produced a number of test units to see how many of them are really functional in this format, before finalizing the design the
The iPhone 8 was presented as having many production problems, mainly because of the Touch ID fingerprint reader, or the front camera. If Apple managed to integrate Touch ID under the iPhone 8 screen, then we are talking about a substantial "victory" that those from Cupertino will have in front of the Android manufacturers, except for Sharp, which will launch in August the first smartphone with such technology.
iPhone 8, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus will be launched in the fall of this year by the Apple company, apparently all on time, according to today's information. Although it is speculated that the iPhone 8 will not be launched together with the iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, the situation could be different if the test production is successful in the coming weeks.
Fingerprint identification was under-screen in testing machine. Maybe they did it successfully.
