According to KGI the fingerprint sensor of the iPhone 8 will not be integrated into the screen

Many are the rumors related to the next iPhone 8. The only thing that both the rumors and the leaks seem to agree on is that the front of the terminal will be practically all screen, screen that in the upper part will offer us a cutout to place the cameras and sensors. They also agree that the situation of the rear cameras will go from horizontal to vertical.

But if we talk about the fingerprint sensor, things get complicated a lot. When there were many rumors that this technology would be integrated under the screen, the analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI, one of the most prestigious analysts, says that no, the fingerprint sensor will not be integrated into the screen.

According to Kuo, this year will be the year that Apple can finally integrate the fingerprint sensor on the front of the device under the screen, a new location to which it would be forced to considerably expand the terminal screen. In addition, Kuo affirms that the models that have begun to be filtered are real, and it would show us a 5,8-inch screen, although only 5,2 would be useful. The iPhone 8 with this screen size would be the same size as the 4,7-inch iPhone.

Regarding the possible location of the fingerprint sensor, Kuo claims to have no reports on its possible location, but taking into account that it has discarded them, it is most likely that it will be located at the back of it, since the location on one side has never been to the liking of users, in addition to its operation, limited to the thickness of the itself, it would give more problems than anything else. But be, should be and not limit the protection of it to an iris scanner or similar.

Kuo further states that iPhone 8 would come in two storage sizes: 64 and 256 GB, confirming other rumors that claimed the same unique capabilities. For now, the only thing we can do is wait and see if it is finally confirmed where Apple plans to implement the fingerprint sensor that the company became popular with the launch of the iPhone 5s.
