The presentation of the iPhone 8 may come out later than expected

The sources of Digitimes has learned that Apple is working on a custom fingerprint scanner.

It will replace the traditional Touch ID and will be used in iPhone 8 smartphone, which has almost no bezel. And, judging by indirect data, this sensor will be integrated into the device screen.

As reported, Apple has decided not to use ready solutions from Synaptic or Qualcomm, preferring his own design, combining Authentec algorithms and technologies Privaris. Developed by Apple replacement Touch ID is likely to be an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. It will be integrated in a special “functional area” of the screen of the iPhone 8, which will be located in the same place where is the home key of the Apple smartphones.

The informants reported that iPhone 8 will go into series production in September. And, considering that in the first weekend Apple usually sells about 15 million smartphones, the cupertinos are unlikely to be able to start selling the iPhone 8 before October, or even November 2017.

As for the other two Apple smartphones that should be announced along with a brand new iPhone 8, according to numerous rumors, they are not the most significant updates to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. And Digitimes say that their mass production will start in July. And it will allow Apple to stock up on the necessary number of smartphones for their September release.

The conclusions suggest themselves. If information on the timing of the start of production of iPhone 8, iPhone 7s iPhone 7s Plus is correct, the last two devices can be on the market in September, and release the iPhone 8 will be held for a couple of months later and may be just at the beginning of the festive season.
