iPhone 13 Might Have an In-Display Fingerprint Sensor

Jan. 16, 2021

Asreportedby Bloomberg,Apple is planning to bring back Touch ID with the next iPhone. This is great news for Apple fanboys. But, what’s even better is the fact that iPhone 13 might include an in-display fingerprint sensor.

The company is testing the in-display fingerprint technology right now, says the report. This means the physical fingerprint sensor, which was moved to the power button with thelatest iPad Air, will remain a highlight of the tablet. It will not make its way to the next-gen iPhone. Instead, you can expect therecently launchedsecond-gen Qualcomm ultrasonic fingerprint sensor to find its way into iPhone 13. It is bigger and faster than its previous-gen sensor and more secure than optical sensors.

Now, Apple might be testing in-display fingerprint sensors but it will not replace Face ID. Thein-display Touch ID will sit alongside Face IDas one of the biometric authentication features. Apple now wants to give users an alternative when theycan’t use Face ID.
