JAKARTA – Apple’s long-awaited in-display fingerprint sensor will not arrive for the upcoming iPhone 13. This is in contrast to previous rumors claiming that the new device will come with this technology.
Compiled from Gizmochina, Tuesday, August 24, some older iPhones are known to indeed use fingerprint biometrics or Touch this ID. But since the arrival of the iPhone X in 2017, Apple forgot about it and started embedding Face ID for every smartphone their newest.
Not without reason, Apple did put a sensor Touch ID on the button. But this button requires a fairly wide bezel on the bottom of the iPhone, which doesn’t allow for the latest generation of smartphones with increasingly thin bezels.
Journalist Bloomberg, Mark Guman suspects this fingerprint solution won’t be making its way back to iPhones anytime soon. Because, the Cupertino, USA giant has deselected the in-display fingerprint sensor, as is already widely used in Android smartphones and may continue to use Face ID for the upcoming flagship model.
However, another speculation has come that reveals that the cancellation may be for the iPhone 14. Because, leaks for the iPhone 13 which will be released around September 2021 show notch on a significantly reduced screen. This means, there will be more free space for fingerprint biometric options.
If this leak is true, it would be the first time Apple has changed the screen design since the launch of the iPhone X in 2017. Other speculations have also come from Macrumors, which mentions the cancellation of the arrival Touch This ID is because the company recently launched iOS 14.5, with the presence of a feature that allows customers to unlock their iPhone with an Apple Watch.
The global health crisis and daily wearing of face masks are increasing the demand for features Touch ID, because Face The ID is claimed to not work when the user is wearing a mask.
Apple addressed an issue with its latest operating systems iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4, allowing customers to unlock their iPhone while they are wearing a mask, as long as they have an Apple Watch.
