IPhone 8 Will Feature Fingerprint Scanner In Display - Says Report

According to a new report from the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the next generation iPhone will feature an optical fingerprint sensor to enable authentication directly by touching the screen.

TSMC reportedly broke the news at a technology symposium held in Taipei yesterday. If true, this will be a huge win for Apple, considering Samsung was unable to succeed with the same technology with their Galaxy S8, instead being forced to awkwardly place the fingerprint scanner on the back of the device.
Analysts previous reported that Apple's biggest hurdle would be integrating a fingerprint sensor into the display. They went as far as stating that the device wouldn't be available until October due to manufacturing restraints.

Apple's iPhone 8 is expected to be announced in September alongside an iPhone 7s and 7s Plus.

New Leak Reveals Molds For Three New iPhones Including iPhone 8

It's been reported that Apple is expected to launch three new iPhones later this year. The first two are anticipated to be the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus with a familiar design language. Meanwhile, the third one is expected to be the radical new design change many have been waiting for, the iPhone 8.

Some new photos have surfaced potentially revealing the molds for all three of these new phones. These molds are likely meant to create iPhone cases or dummy iPhone units, but it’s interesting to see the sizes comparatively.

Notice how the iPhone 8 in the middle is much closer in size of the 4.7" model than the 5.5" Plus model. This is due to the dramatically smaller bezels the iPhone 8 is expected have, featuring a 5.8" display. As previously reported, it will also feature a new vertical dual-camera system.

The company is expected to unveil these new iPhones at an event in September. It's possible that the iPhone 8 won't be available until October and could have a price tag starting at $1,000.

2017 iPhone SE Image Leak Reveals Design Changes

For those who are unfamiliar, Apple's iPhone SE is the pumped up version of their iPhone 5/5s. The company confirmed that the SE stands for Special Edition, due to this smaller-sized phone receiving some of the same specs as the iPhone 6s. With a highly anticipated refresh from Apple's iPhone 8 later this year, who would've thought that they'd want to refresh this model as well?

According to a new image leak, that seems to be the case. The image reveals the 2017 iPhone SE under model number ACN79. It appears that this phone will be made out of Ion-X glass with a single camera setup. Oddly enough, Ion-X glass is the same material used for Apple Watch Sport. There are also two holes shown, seemingly one is for the camera while the other is for the flash. Notice how the camera and flash are now aligned vertically, instead of horizontal.
This iPhone SE leak may have reaffirmed previous rumors of the company using the same material as the Special Edition Apple Watch and having a vertical camera setup for the iPhone 8 as well.

Additional details about the next-generation iPhone SE are still a mystery. However, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference starts June 5, so if it's presented there, then we could be close to finding out everything about it.
