Photo Emerges of Alleged 'iPhone 8' 3D Sensing Camera Module

If it still has the camera bump I am not buying. Same form factor for 6 plus years is pathetic. No buy, if the headphone jack is still missing.

Good thing I use a case.

I'll switch to Android as soon as my lifetime unlimited contract is up.

....but, ordered my space gray 512GB at (put in your date) and my shipping info has not been updated yet. Tim Cook needs to step down. I thought he was a supply chain genius. Wish he concentrated on apple instead of human rights.

Typical Apple holding back shipments to increase demand.

Where is the innovation apple?

PS: What about the mini?

It's priceless if you think Apple would bring back the headphone jack. Hahaha

News flash: the headphone jack was removed FOR INTERNAL SPACE. In fact, this premium iPhone that is about to launch is only possible thanks to the removal of the headphone jack. Let that sink in for a moment. When ifixit tears down the premium iPhone this year you should compare and contrast the internal engineering. Of course you won't, and you'll just live in ignorance, but if you actually did, maybe you'd understand why they removed it.

You won't though. Oh well. Life goes on.

Very much NOT interested in facial recognition to unlock. Not at all.

Oh and interestingly enough, neither are my kids - aren't they supposed to be wanting this stuff? Ages 13, 18 and 21.

Well, you all will once the device is announced and everyone is using it.

I’m pretty sure his post is sarcasm. A summation of many common complaints.

No there's no "pretty sure" about it Lol. He's obviously using sarcasm.

People will get over the lack of Touch ID just like they did with the headphone jack and switch to lightning.

Pretty sure Apple knows what they're doing with this new iPhone lineup.

Haha people always say chill out online like they can ascertain the mood of someone through text. Like typing capital letters equates to anger or excitement, when of course it's just to draw attention to the words for a lack of bold text or the laziness in inputting bold text.

his post was borderline incomprehensible. Sarcasm? Maybe.

Same here. My kids, same age, ask me:
What's the problem that the face recog stuff really solves..?
I mean, isn't Apple just busy with solving problems that it introduced upon itself ?

I would like to have it there! I think it would be serious cool if the fingerprint scanner was hidden in the apple logo!

Facial for opening, fingerprint (combined with facial) for payments and other more secure actions.

But I don’t think this will happen.
 
Touch ID behind the Apple logo makes a lot of sense for a few reasons. One, 1, It's always been there and wouldn't introduce any design complications. 2, Existing Touch ID requires the metal ring to serve its activation purpose and the apple logo being aluminium would serve as its activation surface. I think it could happen. I'd take it on the back of the phone than the additional ring that some of the mock ups show.
 
Didn't seem like the sensor (if that is what it was) was completely round. Almost like they put TouchID below the Apple Logo on the back of the device?!

Yes, hahaha. Please look over your head and listen to my post: Woosh!!

Your post made me laugh and it was way better than mine:)

That's an odd component. On the left, it looks like a lens with no sensor, and on the right a sensor with no lens?
 
This could have been the phone of the century that pleased everyone and sales would have been magnitudes better.. but instead they decided to remove Touch-ID. Creepy Face-ID NO THANKS! What a fail!
 
Did the user just authenticate with Touch ID through the Apple Logo? - If it's on the back, that's a perfect place for it.

The back if the 8 will likely be glass. The logo etched.
 
Possible scenario:

At keynote
Tim cook" ladies and gentlemens.. thank you for coming. Thank you. No really thank you. Haha thank you. Well today i have something amazing to show you....what? you all are excited, right? Haha well i like to announce.....a new set of emojis! Thank you. Good bye!"

One of the audiences:

"Where's the phone, fool?"

Tim: "we haven't decided what the next iphone is going to be." (showing his disblief reaction)

Continuing a running theme over the last couple of weeks, a photo emerged online late on Monday of an alleged leaked 3D sensing camera module destined for the upcoming "iPhone 8" (via Slashleaks). Apple is said to have radically revamped its front-facing camera for its OLED iPhone, adding 3D sensing capabilities for facial recognition.

Screen-Shot-5.jpg

Notable KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has called the camera "revolutionary" because it consists of three modules: a standard camera front-facing camera module, an infrared transmitting module, and an infrared receiving module, all of which will allow the iPhone 8 to perform 3D sensing and modeling functions.

It's also possible that the front-facing camera will support 4K video recording at 60 frames per second, based on code found in the HomePod firmware leak, although this feature could be limited to the rear camera.

As with previous alleged leaked parts - which have included an A11 processor, wireless charging pad components, and an OLED display assembly and flex power cables - it's difficult to gauge the authenticity of the photo. However, it's not unusual for them to crop up in the weeks leading up to an iPhone launch.

In a separate and more dubious alleged leak, a video clip emerged on Tuesday on Chinese microblogging site Weibo showing what appears to be an Apple-branded handset with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor going through a quality control process.


Strong consensus has built in recent months around the idea that Apple is eliminating Touch ID fingerprint recognition entirely in favor of a new authentication system based on facial recognition - as per the 3D sensing camera module above.

The prediction has been made by the reliable Kuo and echoed by JP Morgan analysts as well as Bloomberg, while Apple itself has confirmed that a facial recognition system is in the works, reflected in multiple references found in the leaked HomePod firmware. Given the weight of evidence suggesting the end of Touch ID for future iPhones, it's very likely this video shows a quality control stage for a knock-off clone iPhone destined for the Chinese market.

Expected to launch in early September, the "iPhone 8" - which could take a different name - is thought to feature a glass body and edge-to-edge OLED display that does away with the Home button. The new OLED iPhone will likely be sold alongside upgraded (but standard) 4.7 and 5.5-inch iPhones with LCD screens.
