iPhone 8 delayed because of the fingerprint scanner?

If things go south, and they may, we will not be seeing iPhone 8 until October or November 2017. Why? Problematic fingerprint scanner. According to the research memo obtained by AppleInsider, Apple wants to put 8’s scanner under the phone’s screen instead of its back, but still has not cracked just the right way of doing so. Methods the company is considering are:

– to thin the glass over the sensor,
– integrate a sensor into the display using infrared technology,
– make a pinhole in the glass.

We do not know which method will be chosen, but Apple is, reportedly, pretty confident about making it work. If you really cannot wait for a new iPhone, I suggest getting a 7 or 7 Plus, because 8 WILL be released late.
