The iPhone 8 is still months away, but rumor mills are already trying to resolve every ambiguity before Apple officially
Benjamin Geskin tweeted some photos andcollected information from unknown sources that work for Apple's shipping companies. It seems that the company is transporting “hundreds” of iPhone 8 cases with a Touch ID on the back. The source says that Apple ships so many cases that they fill a few pallets per day.

Geskin not only expressed his displeasure overabout the rumors in general and that the Touch ID can now be located on the back side, but also announced his belief that the OLED iPhone by the 10th anniversary will look like this: with narrow bezels on the screen and no Touch ID on the back of the case .
So far, the fate of Touch ID is in the air. We have repeatedly heard that Touch ID will be built into the display and, accordingly, be on the front side. But still as often we hear that Touch ID can be moved to the back, because it cannot be integrated into the display.
I hate getting these.. But I think it's interesting for you to see.

And just recently there was a rumor that Touch IDs could be removed from the phone altogether, replacing it with face recognition. So the question remains: will the location of the Touch ID affect phone sales?
