Apple brought Face ID to the world and it was quickly welcomed by the users. Soon, all the smartphone companies incorporated that innovation. The US tech giant, Apple, is one of the biggest companies in the world. According to the reports, Apple might come with an in-display fingerprint sensor. This is an incredible journey from the smartphone company that has seen it all from Touch ID to fingerprint recognition to Face ID and now possibly to the in-display fingerprint sensor.

Being said that, Apple is not the first company to try out this feature. A number of premium smartphones available in the market do utilize this technology. But, the iPhone did not support the in-display fingerprint sensor. Soon, we can expect this to change.
With the speed, Apple is moving, we can very well expect upcoming iPhones to come with the in-display fingerprint sensor. Another suggestion which this report makes is that the new iPhones will not come only with the in-display fingerprint sensor. You can expect the smartphone to have both Touch ID and Face ID. A former employee quoted that an optical version could be more reliable than the existing ultrasonic technique.
Currently, Apple features the Touch ID only on iPhone SE and MacBooks. You can also spot a fingerprint sensor in current MacBook devices. Though, this sensor is shifted from the screen to the sleep button on the side in iPhone SE.

Serving additional biometric options will help the company to make the product more attractive. iPhone 13 is expected to come with Wi-Fi 6E technology but can we expect it to come with this in-display fingerprint sensor? Let’s hope for it!
