After Apple obtained a technology patent for on-screen fingerprint sensing in 2017, news that the new iPhone will be equipped with the on-screen fingerprint version of Touch ID has continued to spread in recent years.However, according to foreign mediaiDropnews Citing people familiar with the matter, Apple’s internal engineers have temporarily abandoned the research and development of this technology and turned to the field of Face ID face unlocking under the screen.
This means that the new-generation iPhone 14 series expected to be released this year will still continue the signature feature of notch grooves. As for the “no bangs” iPhone, it is estimated that the iPhone 15 Pro series will be launched in 2023 next year at the earliest.

Why is Apple no longer researching on-screen fingerprint version Touch ID? Foreign media reported in the report that there are two key factors. One is the iOS 15.4 version that Apple is expected to release in March. It has publicly announced that the Face ID face unlocking tool will directly unlock the iPhone for users who wear masks, without the need to enter a password or wear an Apple Watch. In this way, the demand and necessity of using Touch ID are relatively weak.
The second is that the built-in Touch ID fingerprint recognition under the screen of the iPhone, which is in the experimental stage, does not meet the internal requirements. In January of this year, Apple decided to turn all the technical R&D teams and resources invested in the fingerprint version of Touch ID to focus on cultivating Face ID face unlocking as the main goal. This also shows that Apple intends to further expand the Face ID technology to its related products.
