iPhone Duo 2: Under-Display Face ID Incoming?
22 Oct
Summary
- Future iPhone Duo models may feature an under-display Face ID sensor.
- Prototypes with this technology are already being tested internally at Apple.
- This change aims to address user preference for Face ID over Touch ID.
Prototypes of the iPhone Duo 2 are circulating within Apple, featuring an under-display Face ID sensor and camera on the external screen. This development suggests a potential shift away from the Touch ID sensor integrated into the side button, which has been a point of contention for some early reviewers of the current iPhone Duo model.
Mark Gurman reports that this under-display Face ID technology is one of several features being explored for the iPhone Duo 2 and iPhone Duo 3. The transition from Touch ID to Face ID is anticipated to be addressed in upcoming iterations, possibly within the next two to three years, aiming to enhance user convenience.
Early reviews have noted that while the side-mounted Touch ID sensor functions well, its placement requires a deliberate finger navigation. Many users have become accustomed to the seamless facial recognition offered by Face ID on other iPhone models, indicating a strong user preference for this biometric authentication method.
