Because FaceID isn’t going away. Removing it would be a serious downgrade.
I don't think Touch ID under the screen automatically means the notch is gone, unless Apple can fit everything else needed under the glass.
This "may" prediction of his ranks right up there with it may rain on a day ending in y some time in 2022.
I wouldn't expect faceID to go anywhere
but maybe the notch will get reduced.. its an eyesore.
however, having bot Face ID AND TOuchID is a win for us and NOBODY should be complaining about having choice in how they login.
I know with the age of masking that was upon us, FaceID was absolutely horrendously useless.

On MR, that kind of logical thinking still equates to Doom and Gloom / Apple can't innovate mentality for many here. lol
TouchID is lacking compared to FaceID. iPhone doesn’t need under screen TouchID. Mask mandates are getting lifted (even though some people think it’s going to last forever for some reason). Meanwhile Android manufacturers still haven’t figured out FaceID. Apple has nothing to worry about.
There are several apps and features using Face ID's camera. Cant ignore its usability.
Agreed! Will keep my iPhone 12 Pro Max until next year
Hiding TouchID under screen would be a cool trick as an additional way of unlocking phone. Love FaceID however and hope it doesn't go away - works so much better compared to TouchID for me. in fact, TouchID was so annoying I disabled it alltogether, cause it was faster just typing PIN then trying to unlock it with fingers (and then usually having to type in PIN anyway 50% of the time).
Yeah, just like this last one did.... Or the one before that was going to.... I don't se it happening.
I welcome under display TouchID any time Apple wants to do it.Touch ID will come in handy in 2022 when the Rho variant makes face masks compulsory again in most of the USA...at least for those of us without anWatch.

Not impressed with touch id Apple keep face id maybe go to Retinal scan.
I don’t see Apple stepping backwards. My guess, the only way this is true is if it’s on a — one more? — generation of the iPhone SE.
Could’ve sworn Kuo has rumors under screen Touch ID for the past 2 years..,.
Due to widespread knowledge from mid-2020 that the COVID-19 pandemic would still necessitate mask wearing well into 2022 in much of the world, if the upcoming 2021 iPhones don’t have Touch ID, it will prove, perhaps more than ever before, just what a clueless, non-innovative, MBA suit Tim Cook is.
It’s understandable that Cook didn’t have time to change the 2020 iPhone design in mid-2020 to include Touch ID. But he had plenty of time to change the 2021 design to include Touch ID.
