iPhone 8 might feature Touch ID sensor on back of the phone
HIGHLIGHTS

New leaks suggest that Apple will move the Touch ID at the back of the phone so that it sits just the below the logo.

With the launch of Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ smartphones, all eyes are now at what Apple will bring next to compete with the South Korean manufacturer. As of now, we have seen many leaks of the upcoming iPhone 8 and what it could bring to the table. 

Now, the latest leaks states that Apple will move the Touch ID sensor at the back of the upcoming iPhone 8 so that it sits just the below the logo. 

This means that we can expect the phone to sport an edge-to-edge screen, just like what we saw on the S8 & S8+ smartphones. The image from iDropNews, which claims to be of ‘the late stage prototype’, shows a black handset with the Touch ID sensor positioned just below the logo on the back. 

On the other hand, many leakers have stated that the Touch ID sensor would be placed under the display, just like the new Galaxy flagships, in order to create more room for an edge-to-edge display. 

According to 9to5mac, Apple is trying to follow its Android rivals by relocating the Touch ID sensor on the back of the phone. 

As of now, we don’t have any official information from Apple, but we can certainly expect a new placement for the TouchID from the company.
