Apple iPhone 8 will be ditching one important feature: TouchID, and if you go by the latest report this feature is officially cancelled. Well-known Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo of KGI Securities has written this in a note to investors.
Apple released the very first iPhone way back in 2007, re-shaping the landscape of mobile phones.
Now 10 years on, Apple is reportedly planning a major revamp of the iPhone lineup – and it’s tipped to be called the iPhone 8.

Apple iPhone 8 will be ditching one important feature: TouchID, and if you go by the latest report this part is officially cancelled. Well-known Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo of KGI Securities has written this in a note to investors, and given that in the past Kuo has got his Apple predictions spot on, this latest report can’t be dismissed so easily.
According to AppleInsider, the note, Apple has indeed “cancelled” the idea of embedding the Touch ID fingerprint scanner under the display of the Apple iPhone 8. Kuo’s note says Apple will go for a “two-step fingerprint and facial recognition system.” The 3D facial recognition system is something Kuo had himself reported earlier. Another report from Bloomberg by Mark Gurman had given out details on this upcoming feature on the iPhone 8.
The Bloomberg report had said the iPhone will be able to recognise faces, even when lying flat on a surface to unlock the device.
The device is said to be released and on sale by September this year.
