Apple is preparing to completely redevelop its fingerprint sensor to feature in a new iPhone, according to patent filings. The rumoured development is probably a way of having the technology fit into its next handset, mostly referred to as the iPhone 8. Because that phone is likely to bring with it an entirely new design – and a range of never-before-seen features – some of the most central parts of the phone will have to be re-designed. Apple is planning on making the display of the new phone reach all the way across the front of the handset, according to rumours, doing away with the black or white plastic that has surrounded the screen in some form since the very first iPhone. If Apple does do that, it will have no space for the home button that has also been a central part of every iPhone. Until the new handset was released, every phone featured a button on the front – with the iPhone 7, that stopped being an actual button but simulated one through vibrations, but kept its iconic place at the bottom of the phone. For years, that button has also contained the fingerprint sensor that has let people get access to the phone quickly and securely. That sensor has become central to the entire operating system – allowing people to authenticate payments and other things, as well as becoming the primary way of getting into the handset. The home screen on the latest version of iOS was even entirely re-designed around the new button, with the expectation that people would use their fingerprint to get into it. Instead of keeping that button, Apple is developing special technology that would allow it to be placed underneath the screen – allowing the display to take up the whole front, but keeping the button that is so central to using iOS. Some examples of how to do that "use a micro light emitting diode (LED) in an active matrix display to emit light and a sensing IR diode to sense light", according to the patent. That wold mean that the screen could actually see the finger that was being pressed onto it, reading the fingerprint as it did so and checking whether it was the right one. That would work better than some other, similar features, the patent notes. Most require two separate pieces of technology – the bit that displays light and the bit that looks out for it – stuck together, adding extra space and constraining the design. The patent actually renews a similar filing first submitted by micro-LED display company LuxVue in 2014. But the new filing re-assigns that to Apple – apparently as part of work it is doing on that technology. The new iPhone – which is expected to be numbered 8 but might also be called X, and will probably launch alongside another, less premium handset – has been rumoured to bring with it a range of features alongside its new display size. Those include special screen technologies, wireless charging and sensors that might be able to see the face of the person using it and help with augmented reality.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 will launch in late March before becoming available for purchase in April, according to a new report. The company recently confirmed that its next flagship handset would not make an appearance at Mobile World Congress next month, and the Guardian, citing “well placed sources”, now claims that it will go on sale “on or around” 21 April. The report also claims that users will be able to turn the S8 into an Android-running desktop computer by hooking it up to a dock, monitor and keyboard, with a new feature called desktop extension (DeX). Expected to work in a similar manner to Microsoft’s Continuum, Samsung will likely use DeX to push the S8 as a bona fide business device, potentially adding a few extra pounds to its price tag in the process. The Galaxy S8 will reportedly come in two different size options from 5-6-inches, and feature a larger screen than its predecessors, dubbed an “infinity” display. It is said to cover the vast majority of the smartphone’s front face, leaving no room for a home button or even Samsung’s logo. As such, the fingerprint scanner has been moved to the handset’s rear side. Both models will have a dual-edge curved display, like the Galaxy S7 Edge, and Samsung has decided to keep the 3.5mm headphone jack around, unlike Apple. The iris-scanning biometric technology used by the Note 7 will be included too, allowing users to unlock the S8 and authenticate purchases with their eyes. The phone will also feature an AI assistant, identified as Bixby in previous reports, which will be capable of recognising real-world objects through the S8’s camera.

LG has sent out invitations to an event taking place on 26 February, where it is expected to launch a new flagship smartphone. The company failed to get pulses racing with the experimental G5 last February, and will be hoping to bounce back with a dramatically different follow-up. LG’s invitation includes a GIF resembling a smartphone display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The image shows fireworks exploding in the night sky, before the tagline, “See More, Play More” appears on-screen. It’s a nod to the rumoured LG G6, which will feature a display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, according to ZDNet. The handset will succeed the LG G5, which was unveiled at MWC 2016. LG took an enormous risk by making last year’s handset modular, and it didn’t pay off. The unusual G5, which featured a removable battery and numerous clip-on accessories, failed to ignite consumer interest, allowing the likes of Samsung and Apple to dominate the market with the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7. LG’s modular experiment appears to have been shortlived, with a recent update on the company’s US Twitter page suggesting it will instead concentrate on improving a selection of core features with the G6, including waterproofing and a large screen. The South Korean firm is holding the event in Barcelona a day before the start of Mobile World Congress, the annual tradeshow where technology companies traditionally reveal their latest products.

The complete 911 range is currently undergoing its mid-cycle update, with the most recent model to be updated being the Turbo. It looks like the next will be the updated GT3, and judging by the latest prototype the reveal isn’t far. A debut in the coming months is likely, as we've already seen the updated GT3 in race car form. The current GT3 made its debut at the 2013 Geneva auto show and proved quite controversial due its standard dual-clutch transmission. There was also the little issue of engines needing to be replaced in some of the earlier models. That hasn’t stopped the car from being extremely po[CENSORED]r, especially in RS trim, so understandably Porsche won’t be looking to rock the boat with the update. Look for a few visual tweaks, changes to the suspension and perhaps some extra horsepower under the hood. We hear the 6-speed manual transmission from the latest 911 R may also be made available. The most significant change are the new bumpers. The engine cover is also new, possibly to improve air flow. There will be some minor tweaks inside, too. Expect the latest Porsche Communication Management infotainment system complete with 7.0-inch display, smartphone integration and updated navigation with real-time traffic info and Google Earth/Streetview functionality. The good news is that Porsche won’t be adding turbocharged power to the GT3, which it has been doing to most of the other models in the 911 family, including the base Carrera. The current GT3’s engine is a 3.8-liter flat-6 with 475 horsepower on tap. Beyond the updated GT3, we can expect a new GT2 to join the 991-series 911 family. And a next-generation 911 isn't too far away.

The new Xperia X Performance so like an Xperia Z5 improved slightly in terms of design and features, we tend to think that Sony plans simply to bury its Xperia Z range for the benefit of its Xperia X. Before get into the thick of it, here are the characteristics of the two smartphones, face to face. Design and screen: A bit like different generations of iPhone or Samsung Galaxy (between S6 and S7), Sony retains between the Xperia Z5 and the same X Performance Full HD on a slab Triluminos IPS. However, the X Performance is a bit smaller, with its 5-inch screen against 5.2 inches, which automatically increases the resolution of some PPP. It should also be noted that unlike the Z, X series only offers 5-inch formats, welcome for small hands, but larger than the ZX Compact. Besides the issue of size, the main difference that opposes the Xperia X Performance in Xperia Z5 is its design. It obviously keeps very sober style unique to the brand, with a flat back and round wafers on which we find as a fingerprint sensor as volume control buttons and camera shutter button, but exchange material. To better fit the times, Sony has abandoned the glass Z5, whose frosted effect has also been praised for the brushed metal. This preserves a unibody design. Damage, however, that the X-performance, more compact than his colleague (144.8 x 71.1 x 7.62 mm against 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm) is slightly thicker, and especially heavier than 10 grams. Conclusion: A little better or equivalent to the Xperia Z5 on most points, the Xperia X Performance clearly taking over from its predecessor more than is complete. Nevertheless, it still ignores its launch price, which is reasonable hope. Because by its release in May 2016, the Zperia Z5, which is already around 500 euros, will have time to see its price drop, which may decrease even the interest of invest in an X Performance.
