iPhone 8 is to be launched by the Apple company in September, and recently it made a major decision regarding Touch ID and fingerprint reading. More precisely, some sources close to Apple claim that the decision was finally made to abandon the implementation of Touch ID under the iPhone 8 screen, something that many people have been waiting for for some time anyway for this smartphone.
iPhone 8 will not have Touch ID under the screen because the technology could not be completed in time, so Apple will abandon this idea for this iPhone. The source of the information claims that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will benefit from this decision by the Apple company, because the iPhone 8 will have a "successor" launched on the market only a year away, after Samsung launched its terminal.
iPhone 8 with Touch ID integrated into the screen was one of the most anticipated features of the new smartphone, especially since iOS 11 was starting to suggest that Apple would implement this system. in spite of all the interface elements present in iOS 11 that seemed to confirm the fact that Touch ID will find its place in the iPhone 8 screen, in the end Apple seems to have decided that the integration is not opportune.
iPhone 8 – the major decision regarding Touch ID
iPhone 8 has already entered production at Foxconn, so it is normal to find out now what the final specifications of the new smartphone are before the official launch. The abandonment of Touch ID for the iPhone 8 is a decision that will surely upset a lot of people, because this was one of the most anticipated changes for the new smartphone, but it seems that it will no longer be offered for us.
iPhone 8 does not seem to have Touch ID integrated into the screen, but it will have a system of facial recognition Face ID, which will secure our data from the terminals with the help of the face. Face ID is presented by some as more secure than Touch ID, because it makes the identification based on more elements of our faces compared to fingerprints, so theoretically the iPhone 8 should be a bit more secure.
iPhone 8 will be presented in the first part of September by the Apple company, although the date has not yet been established, but the launch should take place in the second part. There is a possibility that Apple release the iPhone 8 Plus this year with a 6-inch screen, but for now we have only one rumor that would suggest the appearance of such a terminal, but it comes from a credible source.
