According to Gurman, Apple is not too keen (via XDA) on bringing back a fingerprint-based authentication system to its flagship models. Gurman asserts that Apple arrived at this conclusion after duly considering such a possibility. He claims the company had toyed with the idea of an under-display Touch ID sensor on an iPhone in the past, but eventually decided against introducing the feature on production models. While Gurman doesn’t specify the reasons that led to the alleged cancelation of Touch ID on flagship iPhones, there is no denying that chatter around this topic has been fairly loud for the past few years.
This chatter gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic when masks became part of our daily lives and people began raising questions about the efficacy of a facial recognition system in a world full of people wearing face masks. However, with the pandemic gradually reaching an endemic stage and Apple ensuring that Face ID works even with a mask on, doubts surrounding this piece of technology came to a gradual end. Despite that, there exists a large subset of Apple iPhone users and tech enthusiasts who want Apple to bring back Touch ID to one of its future flagship smartphones. For the time being, those interested in experiencing Apple’s Touch ID would need to get hold of an iPad Air, iPad Mini, or the recently-launched second-generation iPhone SE.
