All these analysts and their damn predictions. Not sure I'm cool with this device not having a fingerprint sensor imbedded in the screen. Hope all this conjecture is nothing more than just BS.
I can almost guarantee it's not going away. It would be the height of stupidity to eliminate one of THE most popular and secure methods available to phone owners.

Well, in the same model year, Apple will have released the iPhone 7s, 7s plus, new SE and possibly more MacBook models with Touch ID...thus, quit it with the doom & gloom of Touch ID vanishing. ANNOYING! The 10th anniversary iPhone is all about the future. One day, believe it or not, Touch ID will be replaced across the lineup. Just not this year. Chill cowboy, no need to lose it now. You got time to plan a better freak out when the time comes.
If they shove the Touch ID to the back of the device I'll just keep my iPhone 6 for another year.
Facial recognition won't work in the dark.
Don't be so sure. I believe it probably uses infrared at least in part according to what I've read.
You would need good sensor (way above military grade used in NV devices) to use infrared with detail . Are you ready to pay $2000-$4000 for iPhone? That is how much those sensors cost.
Microsoft already released one that did this. So much for your expertise.

Unless what they have works just as good. Then there’s nothing stupid about it.
I remember all the panicking with Touch ID. You guys are hilarious.
Baloney. Who wants to make a substantial bet this is completely bogus? Touch ID isn't going away.
Touch ID might go away if there's something else in the phone that works as well or better to achieve the same purpose. But if there isn't, then I also refuse to believe that Touch ID is going away, especially if the phone is as expensive as the rumors have stated.
There's a faint tinge of hysteria here. If touch ID is going away it might in fact cause problems with the banks etc. And consumers who might feel a bit awkward about waving their phone about to buy the groceries.
Also I think that it probably would be a failure by Apple - a failure to get touch ID working under the screen.
Luckily there is more than one phone being offered this year and I am due for an upgrade.
For me it will be the 7S ( or whatever that is called) if it has touchID or the 8 ( or whatever that is called) if it has touchID.
And maybe that's some of the idea of a new more expensive model that Apple will expect to sell at a lower rate than the next lower tier - they can be experimental.
I don't suspect Touch ID is going anywhere. It's either under the screen or its in the power button. This is a rumor website. This isn't gospel until Apple announces it

You should shoot Apple an email telling them it won't work in the dark. I'm sure during the years of development testing it in the dark is something they hadn't even thought about.
