The iPhone 8 could do without Touch ID and instead have a 3D face scanner installed. The technology should be even more secure than identification by fingerprint and thus could increase the acceptance of Apple Pay at the banks and shops.
With the release of the iPhone 8, Touch ID could be history. Instead, Apple plans to integrate a 3D face scan, reports MacRumors, citing the JPMorgan analyst Rod Hall. The physical home button should be omitted in the course of the edge-to-edge design, which should also mean the off for the fingerprint sensor. A novel 3D face scan could also avoid the frustration, which sometimes arose when users with wet fingers failed to identify by touch ID. In the course of a higher security, the payment system of the Californians, Apple Pay, will also learn more popularity from banks and shops. The technique could also be good for a different field of application for Augmented Reality, but probably not before 2018.
All in all, the premium features could be responsible for the fact that the iPhone 8 for the release costs more than 1000 US dollars. By the end of September at least, it should be clear whether the projected price shock is actually a reality.

3D face scan also for the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus?
But not only the OLED flagship is to be given the face recognition, the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus could also benefit from the new technology - in the Apple's supply chain, the component is certainly a big issue. The new module will make the production costs of an iPhone 8 about ten to 15 US dollars more expensive. The combination of OLED panel, glass housing and other increased production costs should make the iPhone 8 in the production by up to 100 US dollar more expensive than an iPhone without this equipment.All in all, the premium features could be responsible for the fact that the iPhone 8 for the release costs more than 1000 US dollars.
