This is false. You also have failed to provide any proof that Apple was still working on implementing Touch ID just one month ago. That’s just not how R&D works. Sorry, but this is just getting silly.

May, plans to have Touch ID: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/05/26/tsmc-iphone-8-touch-id-integrated-display/amp/

July, trying to find way: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/07/11/apple-weeks-to-solve-iphone-8-touch-id-dilemma/amp/

July, still experimenting: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/07/26/iphone-8-no-side-button-touch-id/amp/

August, when Apple finally gave up on Touch ID: http://iphone.appleinsider.com/arti...-incorporate-under-glass-touch-id-in-iphone-8

I’m not going to waste anymore time on someone living in the ignorance of their own reality. Goodbye.

Or you could just believe the horses mouth, and listen to what Tim and Craig said vs rumor threads lol
 
My ideal iPhone would basically be the X, with some form of a home button and TouchID, and a headphone jack.

I'd have to say that I'm increasingly turned off by the idea of having a glass back on the 8 or the X. I suppose even the standard leather or silicone apple case would make this a non issue. But still, I wonder how many years a new iPhone 7 could be expected to be a solid daily phone. Maybe 3?
