At this point there are few doubts about the screen without frames of the next iPhone 8. All the rumors for months point to this fact, to which different schematic drawings of the design of the next iPhone have been added in recent weeks. appreciate how the screen barely leaves any space in relation to the frame at the top and bottom of the front. What's unclear is where Apple will place the fingerprint sensor. Some say that in front, recently we saw a design with the Touch ID behind ... The reality is that Apple has both prototypes in tests.
It would be the simplest step, but a huge failure in the eyes of many, including myself. Placing the Touch ID on the back would solve many problems in one fell swoop, but both the aesthetics of the device and its use would be diminished. It is the solution that most of its rivals have taken, among which the brand new Galaxy S8 is included, among other things because the technology to integrate it on the screen seems that it is still complicatedBut if Apple wants to make a different iPhone this may not be the way.
The iPhone 8 must have the Touch ID on the front, and Apple must find the perfect solution for it. In fact, rumors claim that both models exist. Why test a model with the sensor behind if your intention is to integrate it on the screen? We've already talked about how difficult on-screen Touch ID integration is and mass production could be slowing down for that reason.. It is logical that Apple covers its back in any eventuality, but its obligation is to break down the barriers that others cannot open. Hopefully it succeeds and does not show us that aberration of iPhone 8 with Touch ID on the back.
I have been an Apple user since the eMac G4 and have owned all iPhone models. If Apple puts the Touch ID sensor on the back, I don't buy the device. It will seem silly in the eyes of many but if there is something that Apple users know is that we do not want "patches."
Totally agree with Carlos Javier. It would look a lot like Android, and Apple must continue to differentiate itself. Imagine a cover with a hole for the footprint. Arrrrrg.
Strongly disagree. I don't like the idea of Touch ID on the back, but… you don't care so much about the design when you spoil it by covering everything with a cover… and they make the covers completely hollow so that the apple can be seen, sublime …….
To be honest, I agree that it is not implemented in such a horrible way. I prefer that the screen remains as it is as long as I still have the sensor in front of me.
I do not see it at all functional on the back (I would have to turn the phone to locate the fingerprint precisely each time I wanted to unlock it). No, no please. But coming from Apple lately, anything can happen ...
I have decided to buy a new terminal with a 5,5 or higher screen. I'm waiting for the new iPhone, but if Apple puts the Touch ID on the back, I won't buy it. I need a terminal with the sensor on the front, that I can unlock it without having to lift it when it is on the desk.
The sensor will go back, do not try to sell the bike.
The competition has been with OLED screens for years, without frames, resistant to water, and with the back button.
Do not be deluded and think or sell that it will come before, because it will not come
