iPhone 8 spare parts rumors: black front only, side button without Touch ID, etc.

Apple usually
unveils its new iPhones in September with a launch shortly
After. However, the situation could be different forl’iPhone 8this year, with a launchshifted to
October or early November.

At least that's what the Japanese site Mac Otakara says, which cites
sources close to production lines and accessory manufacturers.

According to these same sources who only saw a facade
black for the iPhone 8, the latter may not be availablethat in
black color. And therefore, no white version likethat of recent 3D renderingsof
the device.

According to the screen protector images obtained by Mac Otakara, there
would haveseveral new 3D sensorswhich would be used for
facial recognition. The FaceTime camera would move to the left side as on
the latest iPhones from 2016, on the right side on the next models.

Mac Otakara also claims that the iPhone 8's Power button would be more
wide than in the current generation, but that there would beno
integrated fingerprint sensor.

We would therefore move towards a Touch ID integrated under the screen, if Apple has indeed
managed to perfect the technology, or towards Touch ID which is absent and which would be
replaced by facial recognition technology, as claimed by
American newspaper Bloomberg.
