      I don't think the leaks of a possible embedded fingerprint scanner is wrong perse. It's just Apple who can't get it to work in significant numbers to meet demand.

        the only rumor which apple delivered more is

        thought that iPhone 8 will cost a kidney
        well it costs a 1 kidney + 1 arm

          can somebody explain why we have an article about falls rumors about the iPhones? There were a lot of those for the other phones and there were no articles about that. My point is that i don't undersand why this article exists? It only proves how Apple is keeping their phones a better secret than most of Android OEM's. Oh and I'm not the Apple fan over here before anybody starts to loose their minds ;)

              .alpha, 14 Sep 2017If you have time to waste dealing with ROMs to update your ... moreYou know that roms are a exact clone of a real OTA which brings security updates. Apple may give 4 years OTA but look at how slow and buggy the iphone 4 became with the IOS 7.1.2. Look at how the iphone 5s performs with the latest ios. Puting the newest OS on a dinosaur phone is never a clever move. People keep bragging how apple gives them 4-5 years OTA but they keep forgetting how slow their phones become.
              I'm judging no one here. but giving 1200 dollars for an iphone X that doesn't even bring a charger, one must be really ignorant to buy one, or really a huge fanboy

                  Power button moved to the right side like at Sony ...
                  there it also functions as fingerprint scanner.

                        IPhone X should have gone with usb-c so it can support fast charging out of the box. Instead people have to buy an adaptor so they can fast charge only apple would charge people for a feature that should be included lol
