Apple iPhone 8, To Sport Wireless Charging And Facial Recognition Feature [Rumor]
Caroline SorianoA research note from Cowen and Company's analysts may conclude just how Apple is becoming unstoppable! It is expected to release its flagship in the near future which may include facial recognition. The forthcoming iPhone 8 may not release confirmed details but for sure, it is going to be huge.
According to the research note, iPhone 8 will be "supported by a new laser sensor and an infrared sensor mounted near the front-facing camera" for its facial and gesture recognition feature. With three model sizes -- 4.7- inches, 5.5- inches, and 5.8- inches, the researchers are expecting Apple to have a "feature-rich launch" this year. The biggest size, 5.8- inch, will have a "wraparound" OLED display that looks similar to Samsung's recent phones while the screens from the other models have no confirmed details yet.
The note about Apple's iPhone 8, which was acquired by PCMag, advises that it will have a "bezel-free design with Touch ID integrated under the glass and in the active display area." However, it states that it will have limited fingerprint sensors that will work through cover glass. In case it would be too tight, another option would be to move the Touch ID sensor to the backside of the phone, giving way to a bezel-free design.
Meanwhile, there are speculations about iPhone 8 sporting a wireless charging feature. This will be another first from the brand and the analysts from Cowen and Company agree with it. The news about this first came out sometime in November when it was announced that Foxconn will manufacture charging modules for Apple's next flagship phone. The said rumor was strengthened by Ming-Chi Kuo, a KGI Securities analyst, a month after it was reported.
For now, no further details was released from the side of Apple, therefore, fans can no longer do anything but wait. Apple usually launches its new surprises in September, which means it will still take few months before the much-awaited revelations.
