Apple's 'iPhone 8' Might Not Ship Until Late 2017, Side Button Touch ID Unlikely

[jezbd1997]

I really really really like touchID, will be sad if they don't include it.

I won't even think about buying it 🙁

A production delay means home button in the screen!!! If they decided home button on the back they could do that easy and the production would be on time..

 

[prowlmedia]

So not gonna buy this phone and this changes nothing. Hope the 8S has touch ID 🙂

Thanks for your input. So you and everyone else knows. I am so NOT going to buy a Atari Retro console Thingy.

It Will have underscreen Touch ID. Simples.

Lol I’m so done with iPhone 8 rumors, everybody just wait till September. And this is why...

I look at those like them throwing crap to a wall and see what "rumor" will stick by the masses who believe them.

I'll believe it when I see it 🙂

whatever...I'm in the market for another phone thanks to iphone 7 plus buzzer. Either note8 or this....whoever brings it out first wins! MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!! "Finish him/her/it."

Only a few weeks from launch and zero leaked components. How exiting 🙂

Haha, maybe that's because components still aren't finalized.

In-display TouchID is obviously not gonna happen. I can't wait for the most adavance facial recognition developed by Apple.🙄

 

[farewelwilliams]

maybe a digital crown on the side that's big enough for a touch ID at the center of the crown. i would want it even though it's never going to happen (maybe).

Invest in this rumor!! I love the idea of a digital crown. That will blow peoples minds.

Anyone suspect it's just going to look like the iPhone 7 and be called the 7S?

I'm in for one. My iPhone 5 is getting old and from what I understand, will not have future software updates.

Wishing to see a flat metal frame that was used on iPhone 4S, I hated the curved aluminum frame so much...

 

[McFlyOz]

But how is the battery life?

 

[intofx]

No touch id will make it a deal breaker for me at launch. I'd need to confirm facial recognition works in real world lighting conditions. I won't buy it at all if the screen needs to go to full bright to work in low light situations.

I can imagine Apple moving past TouchID to a facial recognition, as long as they can improve the motion-sensor that activates the facial recognition cameras. Otherwise there will be people yelling at their iPhones "damn it, look at me when I'm talking to you".

Feels like Apple is spreading false rumors on purpose this time around, just to throw of everyone. There's so much conflicting information.

I'm excited about the OLED screen, but I'll probably choose the 7S if the 8 does not have touch ID. I am due for a new phone this fall, but chances are it'll be the 7S.

It's all click bait my son, all click bait.

Indeed. As we all click.....😉

 

[SpectatorHere]

I'm set to buy it, but I think I'd pass if there isn't touch id. Before getting my 6s I figured it was a gimmick (as I largely find Siri to be...although that was far more true years ago when they released it in beta), but touch id is really useful...especially for getting into apps with pw's.

...Honestly, if this was designed with touch-id in the display, I'd think they'd delay release before they'd put it out without it functional.

Will it have a HEADPHONE JACK though?

 

[Rogifan]

Ok this is just getting silly now.

I don't care for it either. The 6 - 7 are just so bland and boring to me, I'm hoping the leaks to date are fakes. Ultimately it's a phone, I put it in a case, so it's not a deal breaker. The iphone 4 is still the best looking phone anyone's made imo.

Of course not...

Just hope it does not end up like 'Operation Market Garden.'
