Report: iPhone 8 to feature Touch ID directly on the OLED screen with optical fingerprint sensor

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/iphone-8-home-button-touch-id1.png?w=1600&h=548)</div><p>A new report from Economic Daily News, via Digitimes (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20170526PB200.html), indicates that the iPhone 8 will use a new optical fingerprint sensor technology to enable users to place their fingers directly on the OLED display and have the phone scan the print, as an elegant replacement for the existing Touch ID home button.</p>
<p>The screen ratio will change from 16:9 on iPhone 7 to 18.5:9 (corroborating many other sources (https://9to5mac.com/2017/02/16/iphone-8-higher-pixel-density/)) and ‘invisible’ Infrared sensors will unlock enhanced camera and augmented reality features. Apparently, TSMC discussed these upcoming flagship iPhone features at a Taipei symposium.</p>
