iPhone 14: No Touch ID below the screen on Apple at least before 2025

According to famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple should not adopt Touch ID on the screen of iPhone 14, 15 and 16. According to his knowledge, Apple reportedly rejected the idea of ​​bringing back the fingerprint sensornevertheless it did contribute to making the brand very popular a few years ago. This is why the American giant wouldn’t align with Android with an under-display fingerprint sensor before at least 2025.

If you are nostalgic for the fingerprint sensor, so you will have to switch to an Android smartphone or choose the iPhone SE 5G: the only new model in the series to still offer Touch ID In the Home button just below the screen. It’s also the cheapest 5G model Apple has to offer, as it’s available in France for just 529 euros.

Apple doesn’t have Touch ID, Face ID does its job well

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple would be very pleased with Face ID, its only biometric solution on iPhones. This had some issues at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic as it was no longer able to identify users, but Apple finally rolled out the feature in the latest IOS 15.4 update. This new version has received quite mixed feedback due to its impact on the autonomy of certain models, but finally brings a solution to iPhone owners so they no longer have to enter a passcode every time they wear a mask

The analyst didn’t give a specific reason why Touch ID won’t come to an Apple device in 2023 or 2024. Unfortunately, Ming-Chi Kuo’s report seems to confirm that Apple has indeed abandoned the Touch ID reader project under the screen. Apple would have preferred to focus on Face ID 3D facial recognition technology. sensors can pass under the screen with the iPhone 16 in 2024. We will have to wait a few more years to know more about this.
