Many Android phones do it this way, but Apple allegedly had other plans.

          I like Apple devices but I am just reading all the comments here and comparing with the comments from the S8 and all they said was the fingerprint scanner in the back is the worst idea that Samsung made not because is in the back. Because is hard to manager or unlock the phone while driving for example.. Hahaha But when Apple may be thinking about this (because this can be fake) every one will love it or worst, everyone wants to improve the fingerprint making the apple logo as fingerprint scanner. You my friend has to be universal.
          Its funny for me. Hahahaha

Not because it's android. I haven't heard any other manufacturers get bashed because they put their fp sensor in the back.

            I don't care if you want to fanboy, as long as you get your facts straight first before starting an argument. At least be smart.

                There could be another possibility.

                Its the magnetic charging port. Same as the Apple watch magnetic charger.

                          It's time for Apple to make something furitful out of its "Apple" logo at the back by putting a finger print scanner in it :-) I hope Apple gets this idea

Why would one lie about ones profession ... well i guess if you are working at a call centre you may. That said along with being a Professor I also assist Samsung with their design issues primarily on their mobile front (both commercial be it their phones or cars (samsung/renualt collaboration) and their business solutions). There is a difference between compromise and creating a valid design solution. You also have to keep in mind if a near edge display does not appear on the speculated iphone 8 Apple as a company is sure to see a minor increase in stock price at best compared to a design solution.

                                  How 'bout they'll use the Apple logo as the fingerprint reader.

                                    They should place it in the Apple logo instead.

                                      That is not necessary. Why not make the Apple logo the fingerprint reader if they are going to put it on the back anyways ?

I have no problem with my Galaxy s8 fingerprint scanner. Go to best buy or T-Mobile and pick up one for yourself , hold it , you will be surprised how small the Galaxy s8 is in the hand. My Galaxy a5 2017 is 5"2 screen and this phone is bigger than the Galaxy s8 5"8 screen
