According to a recent report, Apple will not include a fingerprint scanner in the iPhone 8, this news comes from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi-Kuo.
Apple’s iPhone 8 will feature an edge to edge OLED display and Apple had previously intended to have the fingerprint scanner under the display. Recent rumors have suggested that the fingerprint scanner under the display is not ready for this years iPhone 8.
