Apple and its patents and especially Apple and the patents that are related or could have it with the new iPhone 8 models ...
We are all clear that the patents that Apple registers or wants to register can pass as if nothing for the rest of the years or they can be implemented in the following devices in one way or another. In this case we are facing a new patent that has to do with a very important part of what would be the new iPhone 8 model, or for the following iPhone models and which we have been talking about for several months on the net. The location of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
A kind of sapphire crystal for the top right where the iPhone's power button is located. A set of biometric sensors that would be able to detect our fingerprint as soon as we press the start button is what we can think of, something very similar to what we saw in some Sony models but obviously changing the location. Here below we leave an image of the Sony Xperia Z5.
In reality, this type of sensor is not the one that can be seen in the patent or what the image shows us, but it would undoubtedly be the best to not add anything strange that protrudes from the body of the iPhone. In any case, what seems clearer in this new iPhone 8 model is that the sensor will go just below the front glass, and this patent would be for the following generations. Nor is it something that we have officially confirmed by anyoneIt is simply rumors but it is interesting to see other options to implement the fingerprint sensor in the Apple idevice and this option of the Sony model I can honestly say that it does not seem bad to me. We'll see what happens.
