AppleInsider writes about a new report from Bloomberg that looks at the ways in which the iPhone 8 is innovative, introducing some brand new features to the smartphone world.

First and foremost is the 3D facial recognition system, of course, which is expected to take the place of Touch ID for Apple Pay transactions as well as for unlocking the phone, and which includes an infrared sensor to enable facial recognition even in the dark.

The rear camera is also said to include innovatory technology as far as augmented reality is concerned, as well as “SmartCam” technology.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg points out that rival phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Essential Phone have already been using some of the features that are new to Apple with the iPhone 8 for quite some time, such as edge-to-edge displays, virtual home buttons, OLED screens and wireless charging.
