A new report from AppleInsider suggests the release date for the upcoming iPhone 8 smartphone may be postponed until October due to Apple’s delay in choosing a fingerprint technology for the device.

The report indicates that Apple has three options to choose from:

Previous rumours about the iPhone 8 have claimed the smartphone would go on general sale in September, the month Apple has released iPhones in preceding years.
