With new information regarding the upcoming flagship Applu, the DigiTimes server has arrived. In their latest report, they inform that iPhone 8 will not start production until September and will have a completely new fingerprint sensor. DigiTimes is joining the ranks of media outlets that have issued statements regarding the upcoming iPhone 8 this week.

Let's start from the end, the new fingerprint sensor. According to DigiTimes, he came Apple with own varianto, which will be firmly built into the new device. They therefore assume that it will indeed be a built-in solution in the phone's display, as has been speculated for a long time. It would also mean that it will be Apple rely on its own (in-house) solution, and thus will not use the offers of Synaptic or Qualcomm. So it is likely that Apple devised its own solution, which is based on the research and technologies of Authentec and Privaris, which they bought in recent years.

This brings us to the start of production, which according to DigiTimes is not expected to happen until September, which would be a very unusual course of action. Apple usually sells around 15 million phones in the first sales weekend and if production doesn't start until September, a few weeks before keynote, we can expect sales to start in October (or for iPhone 8 and later). According to DigiTimes, this delay is due to the complicated production of the display with integrated sensors and other new technologies. The latest iPhonewhich Apple released only in October, was iPhone 4S. The October launch of sales would therefore be a significant delay.onem from the strategy of recent years. However, given the demanding production, this is not entirely unrealistic. It is quite possible that the iPhones 7S/7S Plus will go on sale in September, while the top-end iPhone We'll wait a few more weeks.
