Kuo also predicted that Apple would replace the Touch ID fingerprint scanner with new biometric technologies that offer similar functionality.

From an edge-to-edge screen, to wireless charging and facial recognition – Apple’s upcoming iPhone is said to be a showstopper.

One of the current functions of the Iphone’s home button is fingerprint recognition; something that apple may be planning to take to a new level. The patent details how the smartphone could use infrared emitters and sensors placed alongside the RGB LEDs to scan and detect the position of the finger on the screen.

The patent suggests Apple could integrate the technology capable of reading a user’s fingerprint without a dedicated sensor, according toApple Insider.

Apple was recently granted a patent for an interactive display panel with IR diodes that paves the path for the removal of the physical home button.

What wireless charging tech would iPhone 8 have? It will apparently leave the same footprint as the 4.7-inch iPhone though due to slim bezels and their interesting approach.

The group said: “The most intriguing data points that we have uncovered suggests that AAPL is ramping the next generation iPhones earlier than historical norms, although we have no indication that there has been any change in release plans for the iPhone 8“. Last May, Kuo predicted that the iPhone 8 would feature an OLED display, and would return to a reinforced glass enclosure, both of which have been corroborated by several other sources.
