This year also the rumors about the design of the new iPhone adds the amount of rumors and indications that warn of the disappearance of the Touch ID button, instead the larger screen would be left and the front camera would be in charge of making a 3-dimensional facial recognition with which the new iPhone 8 could be unlocked.
All this continues to be an unknown today despite the fact that things are becoming clearer, in any case what we want to highlight from the news is that KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo warns that Apple It is a couple of years ahead of the competition in this type of 3D detection sensors.
This report also clarifies that Qualcomm - Apple's main competitor in this component for mobile devices - could not start shipping this type of sensor to manufacturers until 2019. Qualcomm warned a few weeks ago that they were working on this type of sensors infrared for 3D face detection, but it appears that They are a long way from reaching the height of Apple and TSMC, which is the company in charge of its manufacture for those of Cupertino. The front camera is the key in all this and it seems that the infrared module that the iPhone will use will be used to unlock the device in low light conditions, something that according to this report is costing them more to get to the competition.
What many Apple users want is that the Touch ID fingerprint sensor does not disappear and can be added to the bottom of the screen of the new iPhone, but in the case that it disappears to implement only this 3D sensor for facial detection in the camera of the new device is that 100% work in all possible conditions.
