According to the different
indiscretions collected in recent months, thenext high-end iPhoneshould leave a
large screen space on the front. This involves
switch from the "Home" button in order to reduce, in particular, the lower border. At
beyond abutton already become virtual with the iPhone 7, It is
the integration of the TouchId fingerprint sensor which represents a
real challenge for Apple.
Either it goes under the screen and becomes invisible, or it must be placed
elsewhere and in this case, it would be on the rear of the machine. This
possibilityrecently mentionedjust found a new echo
with the publication of what purports to be a diagram of an iPhone 8 with
location for the fingerprint sensor on the rear:
The document comes to us fromSonny Dickson,
the young Australian to whom we owe numerous indiscretions, which
revealed for some proven in past years.
We find in this diagram aarrangement already seen for the double
photo optics, which is arranged vertically.
Among the hypotheses mentioned for the next iPhone, the rear would be either
in glass like the iPhone 4, or in aluminum. In this case it would be this
version that would be represented here.
This diagram can be compared tothe one seen
here last week, with dimensions that seem
match:
So of course, apart from the unspecified origin of the document, it can
also representone of the multiple solutions considered and
tested by Apple, without it being possible at this stage to know what
who was/will be retained, or what would be imposed
by the production constraints mentioned there in particular.
However, one more element to addin the portrait

How would you react to a rear fingerprint sensor: very
disappointing or anecdotal on a daily basis?
