cut them some slack...




they are trying to implement what android phones have had for years in a few months.




they are bound to find difficulties whilst they are revolutionising the industry in the process.

Enjoy reading how the iPhone 8 has the highest screen:face ratio of any smartphone on the market. And how the facial recognition actually works and isn't fooled by a picture.

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

Sarcasm here? It's like you don't actually think that Apple's will be the best. We all know you do.

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).

Look y'all need to stop with this touchiD not happening and then it's going to be on under the display!

Find some other rumor.

MANY people are not convinced that the iris/facial scanner are as a good as the Touch ID right now.
It's not like Apple to go ahead and throw away a most successful feature in favor of a new feature. The facial thing will be in ADDITION to the touchid point blank.

I'm very sure many banks will be very iffy bout ONLY facial software to access ones bank account thru the phone.
 
Rumours are all over the place. It's crazy.

Here's hoping that

a) Touch ID will be integrated
b) That it's not going to be unaffordable (so: definitely not more than €1000!)

People seriously need to stop calling the iPhone 8 "delayed" or "late." Apple has had a 2 year cadence, and this is the "odd" year, where "S" devices have always been introduced. So this year we're "due" a 7S and 7S+.
 
I have seen how these iris sensors fail to work on an HP Spectre running Windows 10. In fact, any light abnormalities while the machine is trying to "recognise" you, such as having the screen against the sun or just a bright lamp reflection, will make it fail. So I do hope that Apple are trying it as an add-on to Touch ID and not its replacement.
 
Given the latest MacBook now has touch ID and Apple's efforts to integrate it within their systems along with Apple Pay and the related bank agreement, I call BS on this rumour.

I bet Apple will ditch Touch ID in the display with all the "unsuccessful' attempts at doing workarounds. ... If it still gonna be this screen size though, it will be the first phone without Touch ID, as where would you stick the home button? There is no room. unless u increase space between bezel and display.
