This topic is an open secret. Apple has had a little bump with its new iPhone 8 that will be released in September of this year. The biometric sensor, Touch ID, has been a headache for the Big Apple due to the design they want to give their new smartphone.
The options are several, but according to the latest analyzes Apple should make up its mind in no time if you want production to be ready by the end of September and to start the sales of your new device on the right foot. They probably already have, but Touch ID won't have put more than one Apple engineer to sleep.
Time plays against: the Touch ID decision
Andy Hargreaves, one of the analysts who has had the most information regarding the new iPhone, alleges that Apple has a month to order Touch ID componentsIf you don't, you would have two options: delay the launch of the iPhone or rule out the integration of the sensor on the front of the terminal, inside the glass.
[…] si Apple es capaz de resolver sus problemas de huellas dactilares y realizar pedidos de circuitos impresos de huellas digitales antes de agosto, es probable que pueda alcanzar el volumen esperado de producción a finales de octubre o principios de noviembre. Creemos que esto sigue siendo el camino preferido de Apple, y esperamos que sea aceptable tanto para los consumidores como para los accionistas. No está claro si Apple será capaz de solucionar el problema en este marco de tiempo.
Another interesting fact that Hargreaves comments is that if finally the Touch ID is not available on the iPhone 8 face unlock will not be sufficient for login. On the other hand, it affirms that a delay in the production and sale of the device would not put investors back in the face of the fiscal quarter, which would give a break to those of Cupertino, as long as the keynote shows all the news of the new device .
Adding to this report we receive every week new leaks and images that correspond to the analyzes we see daily, which may mean that the leaks could be closer to reality.
But is there really someone who believes that apple or any other firm of this level 3 months after the launch of its latest novelty, update or whatever the hell it is, is he going to be thinking whether or not to put the touch ID or where the hell does it put it? ? What news… .. And often you have to be the one who really believes one of these false stupidities…
