Check out these photos of an alleged iPhone 8 chassis that features an opening for Touch ID on the back.
There has been a lot of conflicting rumors around Apple's plans for Touch ID on the iPhone 8. Some are hopeful that Apple will integrate Touch ID into the display dropping the Home Button. Other rumors suggest that Touch ID will be moved to the back and some even suggest that Touch ID will be dropped entirely and replaced with Face ID.
Today's images come via Baidu. At this point it's difficult to distinguish between real leaks, prototype leaks, fakes, and fake information deliberately leaked by Apple; however, as production gets underway it's likely the leaks will become more consistent.

You would think they would use the apple logo as the Touch ID.

Is not fake but is probably one of the 3 final prototypes and they still have some issues with Touch ID.
1. Touch ID on the screen (big hardware issue)
2. Face ID (big software issue)
3. Touch ID on the back (backup in case 1 or 2 doesn't get resolved soon)
The design still the same for the 3 prototypes, it just matter of days/weeks until Apple will need to choose whatever is ready for mass production (where option 3 is easy).
