The focus is on Face ID, and it is reported that Apple's iPhone is no longer working towards fingerprint unlocking Touch ID.

CTOnews.com, Nov. 23 (Xinhua)-- Digital blogger @ Mobile Chip Talent posted Weibo yesterday, hinting that Apple's iPhone 16 series models to be released next year will not be equipped with an off-screen Touch ID fingerprint solution.

CTOnews.com attached a screenshot of the revelations of @ mobile phone chip:

He believes that fingerprint recognition chips are a special 8-inch process, and most of the devices originally used in Apple's fingerprint recognition have been turned off and sealed, and Apple will not use fingerprint recognition as the direction to unlock the phone in the future.

At present, the model that still uses the Touch ID is the iPhone SE 3, but the existing revelations show that the iPhone SE 4 will be modified based on iPhone 14 and will be unlocked by Face ID.

There have been rumors that Apple is developing an off-screen fingerprint solution, which is expected to be installed on the iPhone in 2026, but there are also reports that Apple is focusing on the off-screen Face ID, bringing a more immersive and comprehensive screen experience.
