Well given that it might not ship until 2021, who knows. There could be a host of devices offering it by then.
There are already devices on the market using secure in display, albeit not full screen (how useful is that anyway?), fingerprint readers.
Got a tip for us?

Those phones use the same hardware technology as Face ID. The same dot projector and IR camera system. In fact, the dot projector sends more dots compared to Face ID.
I'm fine with touch ID on a home button... I still want a home button, and no notch, couldn't give a rip about "bezel-less". The size of the screen is the size of the screen. Also, too many gestures. Bring on the iPhone 9! (iPhone 8 form factor with updated internals please).
MarketWatch calculates the lifetime costs of owning an iPhone at $300,000. Now I am not saying a totally accurate figure but realistically a significant amount of ones budget shifting towards these devices. With all the built in technology, the costs to maintain these devices also on a rapid rise. Add the entertainment and its delivery costs, one has to wonder when will the breaking point be reached.
The consumers are starting to feel the pain. Will see how far Apple can push the prices.

And it comes with free headaches, yeah!
Everyone prefers different things. I for one hate FaceID and want TouchID to be back. Sensor under the display is perfect.
You forget that there is news that their Face ID is insecure. Here https://www.firstpost.com/tech/news...e-is-not-half-as-safe-as-face-id-5418121.html

They simply don't put enough effort, not as much as Apple does.
Makes sense. Next year, there'll be enough new features to make people upgrade (new design, bezel shrinking, 5G...). So they are going to save the under display touch ID for 2021.
And I hope we will get the option for both. Requiring to scan fingerprint /TouchID and face FaceID at the same time for added security, making it harder for someone to force open a device.
The only thing I really miss on my iPad Pro is Touch ID.
Fail ID works maybe 1/10 times and even when it does, I still have to swipe the screen to open it.
A button that would both unlock and open the device in one go would be magical.

Assuming you wear touch input gloves in the winter, so you can use the phone in the cold, than the password unlock is far faster than face ID. If you are not wearing touch input gloves than unlocking your phone is a dead end since you can't do anything with it.
it will be similar to the "nobody wants a stylus" vs. "here is a nice pencil for you".
Clearly you didn't put your reading glasses on as many forget to do around here. No , no other phone currently has the ability to put your finger ANYWHERE on the screen to unlock as this report suggest Apple will be doing.
i disagree. it was a real pain pressing the home button while wearing touch gloves, since they changed the nature of the button on the 6s or 7(can't remember). face id does work much better in the winter. at least for me)
Wow so will take another 2-3 years for Apple to do this?? Guess Ill just keep waiting with the X, it's not like the new phones offer anything much anyway.

That figure is rediculous. Time to stop reading marketwatch if that's what they are publishing. They can say that about anything with how they wrote it (i.e. oh if you invested x dollars instead blah blah). How about clothing, you'd save i bet $10 million over the course of your life if you skipped clothing.

They were also going to release a wireless charging mat that was better than anybody elses implementation, until they weren't ..
Believe in better when you see it.
Except it’s not the same thing: 3D Touch was faster and software can never be as fast as the only way it can distinguish between a simple tap and a prolonged tap is that the latter is… prolonged.

Considering how much an iPhone costs they can afford it. Others can.
Actually that would explain the supposed removal of the pressure sensitive screen. Like on the recent Samsung S and Note phones, when they put the finger print sensor in the screen they had to remove the pressure sensitive onscreen home button. That was a very convenient feature to have.
Judging based on my experience with my Note 10+, the finger print sensor would be great to have. Sometimes having the face unlock is great, I use it a lot, but sometimes I want to unlock the phone without looking at it directly or without picking it up or something, and the finger print sensor is very convenient. Especially since I can unlock the phone without having to wake the screen first.

Youre forgetting no one other than nerds in this forum even knew force touch was avaiable. Heck, i turned it off on technically challenged users as when the menu popped up it confused them.
No other phone needs an "equivalent to Face ID plus a Touch ID" they choose their version of one or another (unless you're Apple and the rumours suggest you keep flip flopping between two different technologies)
