The last time we heard that Apple was working on iPhone models with in-display fingerprint sensors, the iPhone X wasn’t even out. Many rumors said in early 2017 that the iPhone 8, which was what we once called the all-screen iPhone that Apple would launch in September, would feature an in-display fingerprint sensor, a technology that Apple had been developing for years. It turned out Apple had no intention to use Touch ID after perfecting a more sophisticated, more secure authentication method: Face ID.
In-display sensors also weren’t ready for mass consumption at the time. But two years later, the rumor is back — only this time it comes with an unexpected twist. China is reportedly going to get a unique smartphone design: An all-screen iPhone that ditches Face ID in favor of in-display Touch ID.
