iPhone 8 may come with 3D Face Recognition ditching Fingerprint

iPhone's single button is what differentiated Apple mobiles from other brand mobiles. With iPhone 8, Apple may ditch this single button and leave the entire front face occupied by the display. As of now, the sigle button on the iPhone's front face also provides fingerprint sensor for security. Based on a recent leak it is expected that security to the next iPhone will be provided with 3D face recognition, instead of fingerprint.

Bloomberg reports say that Apple is now working on the prototype that identifies a face in three dimensions. Also, it is mentioned that Apple may integrate this 3D face recognition technology into the next series of iPhones. Alongside the face recognition, iris scanner may also be a feature available.

If Apple really comes up with this technology, there is no much appreciation. Samsung has introduced Infinite screen with its Galaxy S8. Coincidentally, if Apple introduces iris scanner, it is still old stuff implemented by Samsung in Galaxy S8. Amongst all the devices with fingerprint sensor, Apple seems to be the best response authentication. Apple is trying to keep up this fast response authentication with its face recognition also. Sources say that the prototype of Apple's face recognition technology has a response time less than few hundred milliseconds. The capability of this prototype to recognise the face, even when placed on a flat table is creating an excitement of the next iPhone.

Though Samsung Galaxy S8 is also equipped with face recognition, it recognises in two dimensions only. However, both the so-called path breaking technologies - iris scanning and face recognition were bypassed using a photograph.
However, all these details are speculations and are awaiting for official flagging!
