Apple will be looking to implement the Face ID biometric system anywhere it could fit, reports Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman in his fresh PowerOn newsletter edition, and even Macs, the iPhone SE line, and all iPads, would eventually get it, according to him.
Why? Well, “the facial recognition sensor gives Apple two central features: security and augmented reality. Touch ID, more convenient or not, only provides the former.” This forecast directly clashes with reports that claim Apple is going to use both Face ID and Touch ID on future iPhones, just tucked under the display, so we’ll see how Apple’s biometric strategy pans out.
He, however, is of the mind that Apple will do this only for its more expensive iPhones, probably to differentiate the Pro series further from their more affordable brethren that now have the same screen size and practically only extra camera features separate the two in the iPhone 12 series, for instance.
Given the whole Face ID-with-a-mask fiasco, we somehow doubt that Apple will leave face recognition as the sole exclusive provider of biometry on its iPhones, but we won’t know until the iPhone 14 at the earliest.
That’s when Apple is expected to tuck a fingerprint scanner under the display, again according to Mr Gurman: “The company has tested an in-display fingerprint scanner for this year’s devices, however that feature will likely not appear on this generation.“
