Apple Inc. Says It Never Planned to Include Touch ID on iPhone X

Ahead of the launch of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone X, there were many reports from numerous sources in both the press and financial-analyst community that Apple was trying to integrate a fingerprint scanner in the display of the device.

Those reports indicated that Apple was having significant trouble getting this technology to work and, ahead of the device's launch, Apple canned the feature, opting instead to rely solely on facial-recognition technology to replace Touch ID.

According to Apple hardware chief Dan Riccio in an interview with Mashable, these reports were all bogus.
