Unfortunately, iPhone 13 will not have Touch ID under the display. It seems to be evident by now, even if we admit that this lack makes us turn up our noses too, above all because the competition has been doing it for some time in the Android field.
iPhone 13: no Touch ID, let's resign ourselves
Due to last year's coronavirus pandemic, the usability of Apple's only biometric method has come under scrutiny. In fact, for some years now, the iPhones of the Cupertino giant have only supported unlocking via Face ID. However, since the virus required people to wear a mask at all times, using the phone has become a problem. With the mask active, Face ID does not work; it must be admitted that later, the company released a new feature that helps users quickly unlock the phone while wearing face protection.
Although this feature allows users to unlock their iPhone in seconds by wearing a mask, not all users have an Apple Watch that supports it all. Therefore, most Apple customers are looking forward to the early reintroduction of Touch ID. It is therefore legitimate that most fans expect Touch ID on the iPhone 13.
Earlier this year, it was reported that the iPhone 13 series would use Touch ID fingerprint technology under the screen. Reports also claim that the future flagship iDevice will use Face ID + Touch ID dual authentication. The Cupertino OEM has in fact registered a large number of technology patents related to this feature in the last six months. However, the latest report isn't one people are going to want to hear.
According to reports, Apple may not bring Touch ID back to iPhone any time soon. Well-known leaker Mark Gurman just revealed that the new phones will still retain only one biometric method, read "Face ID". He pointed out: “Apple tested the under-screen fingerprint for this year's device, but this feature may not appear on this generation of iPhones“.
Despite the absence of this feature, the upcoming series of gadgets will still have some important updates. For example, the company will greatly improve the camera setup. Lens stability and night imaging capabilities will also be better. Also, this device will come with a 120Hz high refresh rate screen for the first time.
Also, Mark Gurman says that the 2021 range will officially arrive in mid-September. The new phones will have a smaller notch.
