IPhone 13 Will Use Fingerprint In Display Sensor

JAKARTA - The iPhone 12 successor, the iPhone 13, which is scheduled to arrive at the end of 2021, is rumored not to come with any major changes but will bring a new feature, an in-display fingerprint scanner since Apple has started testing it as a key upgrade for 2021.

Starting with the iPhone X, all iPhones except the iPhone SE (2020) come without the Touch ID fingerprint reader and use facial recognition or Face ID for biometric authentication.

However, Face ID turns out to be an impractical solution in the midst of the current pandemic because the technology often fails to unlock the screen when the user is wearing a mask.

So, to unlock, you have to remove the mask first and then enter the security code to unlock your iPhone screen.

However, that won't be a problem in the upcoming iPhone 13 lineup, as it will pack a fingerprint scanner sensor on the screen, a feature that has been on Android smartphones in recent years.

Apple also won't ditch Face ID but will remove the charging port on some iPhone models and replace it with wireless charging.

Additionally, Apple is reportedly working on a foldable iPhone and has developed a prototype foldable screen for internal testing.

This screen has an invisible hinge similar to the Samsung folding screen and one of them opens at a size of 6.7 inches.

Other reports also mention that Apple is working on two new iPad Pro tablets with a faster processor and MiniLED display, as well as an entry-level iPad with a similar design to the iPad Air (2019).
