iPhone 8 will drop fingerprint reader for face recognition

Apple could abandon its Touch ID fingerprint recognition system entirely in favour of a new facial recognition system, an analyst has claimed. Rumours have circulated in recent weeks that Apple was struggling to decide where to put the sensor - under the front screen with an'invisible' sensor, or even on the rear. Now it appears a third option may be on the table - abandoning it entirely. Rumours about the iPhone 8 have been circling for months, and a new video released this week claims to give the'closet look' at the device yet. The claims were made by KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has sent out a report with his top predictions for the 2017 iPhone lineup.
