Apple started putting its fingerprint sensor aside in 2024 when it launched the iPhone X, saying the bet was now Face ID because it was significantly more secure and advanced. Something that fulfilled, since all the launches have bet on the 3D facial recognition system. Well, more or less, since the new iPhone SE is back to betting on the old Touch ID, and it seems that the new iPhone 12 5G go the same way.
(Leak) iPhone 12 with a fingerprint sensor on the screen? Perhaps!
Therefore, a new ‘leak/rumor’ from Chinese production lines suggests an iPhone 12 model with a fingerprint sensor under the screen! We are talking about the most equipped model, the iPhone 12 5G.
Well, this rumor is based on some conversations between Apple, BOE, GIS, and Qualcomm. In order to mass-produce ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. However, due to the difficulties that the COVID-19 brought to the table, it is not yet clear whether this model will be a reality, and if it is, it will hit the market in 2024 or 2021.
Interestingly, another Ming-Chi Kuo leak also mentioned the return of digital printing to Apple’s Premium models, but only in 2024 with the iPhone 13. A model that should also revolutionize design by eliminating all entries.
In addition, one of the Bloomberg journalists with some connections in the industry has also made it public that Apple is actually developing a fingerprint sensor for the new generation of iPhones. In fact, Tim Cook’s goal is to be able to implement a giant sensor to enable new ways of authentication.
