iPhone 8 has an extremely interesting new feature announced today, to be exact Face ID will authorize payments made through Apple Pay by users. Face ID is the name that the facial recognition system should have, it being implemented in the iPhone 8 by the Apple company to replace, or supplement, Touch ID, so we are talking about a first confirmation of the possible plans of those from Cupertino .
iPhone 8 has a lot of rumors announced these days that suggest that Face ID will completely replace Touch ID, Apple company wanting to offer facial recognition instead of reading fingerprints. Until now, few people were convinced that Face ID is well enough prepared to replace Touch ID in the iPhone 8, but it seems that Apple is confident in this system.
iPhone 8 has, once again, confirmed by the source code of the HomePod operating system that Face ID will authorize payments made through Apple Pay. The scanning of the user's face using Face ID is going to replace the simple scanning of the fingerprint in the iPhone 8, the Apple company seems to be ready for a new major change in the field of biometric security for iPhone terminals.
iPhone 8 – Face ID will authorize Apple Pay payments
iPhone 8 has Face ID identified with a named identifier Pearl in the HomePod operating system, this being the project code for facial recognition. Entries discovered in the HomePod source code refer directly to the authorization of Apple Pay payments for the iPhone 8, but this does not mean that Touch ID disappears completely, although it has been confirmed that it will not be implemented under the screen of the new smartphone.
iPhone 8 has Face ID presented as much more secure than Touch ID because it scans more security elements than reading a fingerprint. Apple would also scan users' eyes using Face ID, so theoretically facial recognition combined with retina scanning would be more secure than scanning a fingerprint, and so Apple would be sure that iPhone 8 will offer improved biometric security.
iPhone 8 also had a new function confirmed last night SmartCam for the Camera app from iOS 11, the Apple company wanting to help us take better pictures and videos. The iPhone 8 also had many other novelties revealed this week by the HomePod's operating system, the Apple company apparently launching it by mistake, but the reality is that it is enjoying all the commotion around it.
iPhone 8 will be presented in September, the launch will also take place then.
