Kuo: iPhones With Under-Screen Touch ID Now Coming in 2023, Foldable iPhone in 2024

[MacRumors]

In addition to claiming that iPhone 14 Pro models will feature a hole-punch display design and a 48-megapixel Wide lens for the rear camera system, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo outlined his expectations for future iPhones beyond that.

In a research note seen by MacRumors, Kuo said that while he previously predicted that Apple would launch its first iPhones with under-screen Touch ID in the second half of 2022, he now expects the devices to be released in the second half of 2023 due to slower than expected progress with development. Likewise, Kuo now expects Apple's first foldable iPhone to launch in 2024, compared to 2023 previously.

Kuo did not provide any further details, including which iPhone models might gain an under-screen fingerprint sensor. It's likely that under-screen Touch ID would complement Face ID, providing users with multiple biometric authentication options.

I don’t think Touch ID is coming back to iPhones.

 

[Joe_]

It’s about time… 🤦🏻‍♂️ 💀

Touch ID should’ve happened last year.

 

[jz0309]

Please, no touchID anymore, inscreen ir wherever, it’s dead

 

[HeavenDynamic]

Pandemic asides, I think a faster Face ID that also works at larger angles is a better overhaul solution than Touch ID.

 

[benspratling]

At this point, I'm ready for rumors about when products which have already been announced will become available for purchase.

Kuo: “Touch ID coming back in iPhone 12”

Me: “interesting”

Kuo: “Touch ID being tested for it’s implementaron on iPhone 13”

Me: “Woah, at last, after this two years of pandemic, was about time”

Kuo: “Touch ID coming back in 2023”

Me: “Ok, whatever. I’m gonna get the 13 and use the passcode”

Please, no foldable iPhone. Not in 2022, not in 2023.... never please.

 

[travis64]

Good i can upgrade my 13 max to a foldable in 2024

 

[kcslc]

Foldable iPhone. Eeewww. Dislike.

 

[zorinlynx]

Please, no foldable phones. We've spent years getting rid of troublesome fragile mechanical components in smartphones. The last thing I want is for phones to go back to that.

 

[stringbender]

yeah sure.. right....

 

[danpass]

Touch ID on the sides and side pressure and/or movement sensitive to bring the screen alive to also use Face ID if desired, as second confirmation (or Face ID only).

PIN input as third option

For the record, they appear to still be ramping-up that Engineering group here in San Diego.

 

[yaxomoxay]

Please, no foldable iPhone. Not in 2022, not in 2023.... never please.

What are you talking about! I owned one and I loved it:

 

[madmin]

Will gorilla glass snap a finger when touchID rejects its fingerprint ?

 

[Xtir]

I don’t think Touch ID is coming back to iPhones.

Why not?

 

[Psychicbob]

well this should make a lot more folks buy the 13 then. 2 years until major revamp.

 

[falainber]

Please, no foldable iPhone. Not in 2022, not in 2023.... never please.

You don’t have to buy it. Are you concerned that if Apple does release it this will prove once again that they are many years behind the competition?

 

[alexandr]

no word on what's coming in 2025?

 

[MrGimper]

I went into my local EE store to get a new SIM, and I saw the 2 shamsung foldable phones.....

Why? Seriously, why? What is the point. It's like Nintendo invented a phone. It's a too thick phone and a too small tablet, all with a gross crease in the screen. Seriously, why?

 

[minimo3]

Instead of investing millions of dollars on under Screen tech they could just take the power button TouchID part from the iPad Air and iPad mini. Cost: $5. Time to implement: 2 weeks.
Rewrite the authentication algorithm:

If (face visible) use FaceID
Else if (mask on) use TouchID
Else fail login

 

[mdekker]

What are you talking about! I owned one and I loved it:

Haha Foldable phone okay, foldable screen no.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Who’s ready for a foldable iPhone?

 

[C7 POWER]
