iPhone 8 will be launched without Touch ID by Apple, the change announced for several months being finally confirmed by American journalists from the WSJ. According to them, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), struggled to implement Touch ID in the iPhone 8 case, but after the attempts failed, the Americans decided to completely abandon the idea and improve the Face ID system so that facial recognition replaces fingerprint reading.
iPhone 8 will not have Touch ID because the idea of implementing it in the case is worse than not offering it at all, and if things will be like this, then Apple should be praised. I have repeatedly said that phones with fingerprint readers in the case are extremely stupid, and I for one hope that the rumor is true and the iPhone 8 does not have Touch ID at all, or has it in a button, if it could not be integrated into the screen.
iPhone 8 was initially created with Touch ID in the screen and Apple tested various prototypes with this functionality before deciding to abandon the idea. Most likely, the difficulty to quickly and accurately scan the fingerprint forced Apple to abandon the implementation of Touch ID in the iPhone 8 screen, and so we will have Face ID as a biometric security method, face scanning being more secure than fingerprint scanning anyway.
iPhone 8 will be launched without Touch ID by Apple, but with Face ID
iPhone 8 production has been delayed by a month and part of the problems would be based on Apple's lack of ability to integrate Touch ID into the phone screen. We cannot know how true this is, but it seems that Touch ID will be missing from the iPhone 8, a first for an iPhone in the last 4 years, but this technology had to disappear at some point, although it remains the basis for android phones.
iPhone 8 without Touch ID will force us to learn a new biometric security system, and it could have some shortcomings from the very beginning. Touch ID was not perfect when it was launched by Apple with the iPhone 5S, and Face ID in the iPhone 8 could have similar problems because it will surely need improvements after the official launch of the phone, would Apple hurry to provide them for we.
"At the same time, Apple as previously reported decided to ditch the physical home button at the bottom of the home screen that contains fingerprint sensors for unlocking the device. Apple tried to embed the Touch ID function, or fingerprint scanner, in the new display, which proved difficult, the people familiar with the process said."
iPhone 8 without Touch ID, but with Face ID could offer improved biometric security, but also faster authorization of protected functions. With this "bombshell" today, I remind you that I am waiting for you on September 12 starting at 19:30 to discuss all the news that Apple will present for the iPhone 8 in a conference that will surely be long.
