Under-Display Face ID Reportedly to Debut on 'iPhone 17 Pro'

I always wondered about the quality of the on-button TouchID. The surface are of the button seemed too small to get enough data. But as a secondary method it would be good.

It works pretty well on a Samsung flip. (power button touch ID) I only used the under screen touch ID once, and it worked (using the same saved fingerprint), but it wasn't as convenient.

Can you touch anywhere on the screen or in a particular place? Does the display turn off that section when pressed?

I can certainly understand that, but I think it would help so much in doing things that are not so easy for me. It really doesn't need to be in my head though, but I'll take what I can get.

I want those holographic things they have in Star Wars.

Specific place, and no, it doesn't turn off that section, though it does show a fingerprint there. (so you know where to touch)

edit: The flip5 apparently doesn't have the underscreen touch ID, don't know what I was thinking, but it must been when I was looking at another another phone.

I'm mostly interested in how it works. My general impression of a technology is whether Apple uses it. Their tech tends to be more mature.
