Apple never planned to have a fingerprint reader in the iPhone X

The Apple iPhone X was probably one of the worst-kept secrets when it comes to smartphones this year. Months prior to its release, we were treated to leaked renders, photos, and even dummy models of handsets that were identical to what was shown off at Apple’s September event. While there were plenty of rumors, it appears that Apple never planned to add a fingerprint reader to the handset, instead, betting all its chips on the Face ID technology.
