Science and Technology Express, November 23, there has been news recently that Apple plans to equip the iPhone with a fingerprint sensor, which even includes under-screen fingerprint unlocking technology.
In response to this rumor, the well-known whistleblower, the mobile phone chip expert, clearly expressed his opposition.
He pointed out that Apple's fingerprint recognition chip uses a special 8-inch production process, and most of the devices previously used for Apple's fingerprint recognition technology have been discontinued and mothballed. Apple doesn't plan to use fingerprint recognition as the primary way to unlock phones in the future.
According to reliable ***, Apple is currently concentrating on research and development of under-display Face ID technology, with the goal of hiding related components such as dot matrix projection under the screen to eliminate the design of the Dynamic Island.
Even in the pre-production phase of the current iPhone 16 Pro, there is news that there has been an engineering prototype with a centered single-hole design, with only the cut-out for the front camera.
Apple has been actively accumulating patented technology for under-display components.
Industry experts**, Apple is expected to completely remove all cut-out designs for the first time in the iPhone 17 18 Pro series, achieving a true full screen with the same width of four bezels.
