iPhone 8 leaks have become so popular that even Apple appears to be getting in on the action, seemingly confirming two rumored features.
First, all of those iPhone 8 bezel-less display concepts out there appear to be on point. An icon within code for the new HomePod speaker firmware has been found by iOS app developers Steve Troughton-Smith and Guilherme Rambo.
It shows the expanded, edge-to-edge screen – thought to be a 5.8-inch AMOLED display – with no top bezel and no home bottom whatsoever.
It's a mystery as how Apple will secure the iPhone 8 given the traditional Touch ID fingerprint sensor changing forever. Which leads to the next discovery.
Goodbye, Touch ID?
Today's second leak from the early HomePod software seems to confirm that 3D facing-scanning technology is indeed coming to the iPhone 8.
Developer Troughton-Smith says he came across code indicates an infrared face unlock that belongs to something new called BiometricKit.
3D face unlock is one way to bypass your iPhone lockscreen and use Apple Pay, but will it be new or will Apple also include TouchID?
We'll have to wait until the iPhone 8 launch date, which we still suspect will be in September. Unless, of course, Apple leaks more of its own surprises first.
