Touch ID on the iPhone 8: front, back or side? New photos and still the doubt

reports new leaks related to the iPhone 8 that have been released
recently on the internet. This is a screenshot of a schematic plan
detail of what would be the back of the iPhone 8. We see many
interesting things, like a rather special position for the flash, under the
dual-sensor, and above all aTouch ID accessible au dos, via
a hole in the back cover. The fingerprint sensor of the probable
next iPhone anniversary edition would definitely not be able to find its
