The rumors that accompanied the wait for the launch of the iPhone 14 pointed towards a possible return of the TouchId in the new form of a scanner no longer hidden inside a home button (completely anachronistic compared to the modern designs of Apple smartphones ) as mounted below the display, as is now the practice on even very cheap Android models. Yet, Apple continued with the FaceId that uses the face as a password, scanning it in 3D through the appropriate sensor mounted in the notch for the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus and in the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. more than concrete that the floating and dynamic island will be the protagonist on all iPhone 15 is the definitive confirmation of the abandonment of the TouchId project.
This is also stated by the always prolific Mark Gurman of Bloomberg who in his usual Power On newsletter states that in reality Apple has really considered the return of TouchId, but who then discarded the hypothesis when it was time to formalize the productive line. "At this point, I believe FaceId will stay where it is and TouchID will not return to the more advanced iPhone models, at least not in the near future," the analyst commented. Those who feel the strong lack of TouchId can only point to the new model of iPhone Se, here our full review.
