Rumor: the iPhone 8 not in production before September, with an in-house “integrated” fingerprint sensor

According to thelatest rumors, the iPhone 8 promises a whole bunch of
new features ranging from a new design to a possible 3D sensor on the front with
augmented reality functions, however to ensure that such a device
works without a hitch, it takes time, and the iPhone 8 may not
is not availablebefore October or later.

At least that's what a new report from Digitimes suggests.
states thatthe iPhone 8 would not enter production before
september
instead of July as was the case in the previous ones
years for the new iPhones. Digitimes also mentions the design
a new in-house “integrated” fingerprint sensor.

Instead of using existing technologies from companies like Synaptic or
Qualcomm, Apple would have designed internally anew fingerprint sensor
"integrated"
, this last term suggests that it would be located
under the screenin the old place of Touch ID.

According to Digitimes, this new sensor would be enoughdifficult to
make
which would delay the entry into production of the iPhone 8 until
September, and would result in a public launch delayed until October or later
late.

However, this rumored production delay must betaken with
tweezers
, because the last time Apple launched an iPhone in
october,it was for the iPhone 4s in 2011. Additionally, Digitimes
does not have a 100% reliable history regarding Apple rumors, although
these come from production lines.

The other two iPhones that would be revealed alongside the iPhone 8
would they enter production in July with certainly availability
shortly after the back-to-school keynote, according to Digitimes.

About the new sensor, it would use technologies
biometricultrasound based, instead of the capacitive sensor
of Touch ID. It would be at the bottom of the screen where Touch ID is in
a
"functional zone" mentioned in this article
.

In addition to a new integrated fingerprint sensor, according toother recent rumors, the iPhone 8 would offer a new
all-glass design, an OLED screen rounded on the edges, a steel chassis
reinforced, a new 3D sensor with augmented reality functions, the
recharge
wireless
, and maybe alsorecharging
fast
