Will we receive Fingerprint Sensor in
iPhone 14?
A new patent from Apple suggests that the company could be bringing under-display Touch ID for future iPhones. The Cupertino-based company has recently been granted a new patent for integrating biometric authentication into iPhones and MacBook's.
The patent adds more strength to multiple reports that Apple will be going back to Touch ID for its iPhones. On the contrary, a number of recent reports have also suggested that Apple could be bringing all its devices including iPhones to recognize faces via Face ID eventually.
The insiders were unclear on whether users could use the two authentications methods in tandem or if it will be a one-or-the-other choice. Bloomberg reached out to Apple for clarification, but a company spokesperson unsurprisingly declined to comment.
The iPhone 14 is still more than a year away, and anything can change between now and then. As always, take leaks from anonymous sources like this with a healthy dose of sodium chloride.
That said, I would not be unhappy to see Touch ID make a comeback. I have hated Face ID from day one, and the recent pandemic requiring me to wear a mask only made me hate it more. The iPhone X Max is the last iPhone I purchased for that reason alone. Even as a secondary option, bringing back Touch ID might allow me to consider upgrading, but we'll have to see if it makes Apple's cut in 2022.
