iPhone with Touch ID under the screen won’t appear for the next two years

In a September 2021 study, expert Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that Apple would launch at least one new iPhone model with an in-display fingerprint scanner in the second half of 2023, but the company’s latest tweet. he shows that this is unlikely to happen anymore.

Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities, wrote: “I had previously predicted the iPhone would support the technology. Fingerprint Sensor Touch ID under the screen as early as 2023. However, the latest survey shows that new iPhones launched in 2023 and 2024 may not use Touch ID under the screen. Face ID on the iPhone is already a great biometric solution.”

According to a report from Joanna Stern of The Wall Street Journal and Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple has been testing under-display fingerprint scanning technology for at least some iPhone 13 models, but Apple has clearly decided not to go ahead with the idea. this idea.

Touch ID under the screen will be most useful when Face ID is not active, but the iOS 15.4 update introduced a new “Face ID with a Mask” feature on iPhone 12 and later models. An argument can still be made that having both Face ID and Touch ID under the display on an iPhone will offer customers the best of both worlds, but expert Kuo’s tweet suggests it will. does not happen for several years, if at all.

It’s still possible that Apple introduces an iPhone with Touch ID built into the power button, in line with the latest iPad Air and iPad mini models, but there aren’t any rumors that Apple plans to go that route. .
