WinFuture explains that Apple is modifying both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 to such an extent that they require specific new model numbers, such as 'MN482ZD' and 'MQ6K2ZD'. While it remains to be seen if Apple's ploy is successful, the move makes sense as the potential for Qualcomm to win additional iPhone sales bans around the world will only grow following the precedent set in Germany.

Now, with slow iPhone sales pushing Apple to officially cut prices, Apple is at it again teasing a truly radical new iPhone…Conveniently picked up by iFans AppleInsider, Apple has ever-so-quietly filed a patent which shows a triumphant return for Touch ID to iPhones and it is - quite literally - bigger than anything you have seen before. With the snappy name of 'Acoustic pulse coding for imaging of input devices', Apple shows-off an in-display Touch ID fingerprint reader which can operate when a fingerprint touches anywhere on the screen. This is both faster and more secure than any previous fingerprint technology, and it will debut in Samsung's Galaxy S10 this month.
