The new iPhone Edition could have the Touch ID sensor on the back

The official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + yesterday is circulating all over the Internet. It was an open secret: goodbye marcos. We cannot deny that the strategy of the South Korean company has been the correct one: to provide the maximum screen capacity in a space that was unused by the edges, which have disappeared.

A new report hints that the new iPhone will be called iPhone Edition and not "iPhone X" or "iPhone 8" as it had been seen weeks ago. Also, I would try to remove the frames like the Galaxy S8 has done. by changing the position of the Touch ID sensor to the rear. Many more are the news that we tell you about this report.

Vertical cameras, rear Touch ID and goodbye frames: the iPhone Edition

If we look at previous terminals, the iPhone is always presented in a keynote in the month of September. Although there are still 5 months left, the rumors about the new smartphone from the big apple are becoming more solid and occupy a large part of the daily news: no front bezel, wireless charging, 3D detection front camera, 5,8-inch OLED screen … a battery of possible novelties of the new iPhone.The latest report published by iDropNews indicates some aspects that had not been addressed in recent months:

  • The tonic is to remove the frames so that the screen occupies a large amount of the device, it is necessary that the Touch ID sensor (along with the Home button) move to another location. The report points out, as you can see in the images, that the sensor would move to the rear, as most mid- and high-end smartphones are doing today.
    Making this move may have been a headache for Cupertino's. With the Touch ID on the back, it will be necessary to take the device to unlock it although if we look at the latest patents of the company and the competition, iris unlocking together with a good front camera it can be the tool to correct this small inconvenience.

  • The final name of the device will be iPhone Edition. Nothing of 8 or X. Those of Cupertino will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the iPhone with the commercialization of their new product whose nickname is Edition.
  • The current iPhone has two cameras in its plus version oriented horizontally but the latest reports suggest that an extended version of the iPhone Edition could have two vertically oriented cameras, and just below them the Dual LED sensor available in previous editions, perhaps with new functions.

iDropNews, thanks to your report, has produced some models of what the new iPhone that we will see in mid-September could be like. A facelift for a device with which Apple revolutionized the market.

    Personally, the position of the touch ID on the back seems to me a nuisance when handling the phone and especially when unlocking it. And facial recognition even more, having to put the phone in my face to unlock seems like a step backwards. Anything that is not implementing the touch ID on the front under the screen will be a poorly functional solution. Wireless charging, I doubt we'll see it without a base to leave the phone on.

    We'll see what happens in a few months, but I'm increasingly disappointed with this new model. In addition to maintaining the same design on the iphone 4 for 7 years.

    The iPhone 7 and 7+ have a QuadFlash and that the new generation has a Dual is a huge throwback.
    This seems more fake than anything.
