“In addition to an OLED screen, the iPhone 8 will come with wireless charging and iris scanning technology, industry sources disclosed,” the report reads.

Also the report said that Apple has tabled request to its chip and component suppliers to start trail production, however the delivery of part and components for production will start later only in the second-half of first quarter 2017.

Other than the next iPhone, Samsung's next flagship phone, Galaxy S8, is expected to feature the iris technology.
