It is reported that the iPhone 13 that appeared in 2021 will be equipped with Touch ID with a built-in display



The iPhone was equipped with the fingerprint authentication function 'Touch ID', but since the iPhone X that appeared in 2017, the face authentication function 'Face ID' has become the mainstream, and most iPhones have Touch ID. Not adopted.

However, analysts at Barclays, an international financial group, predict that the iPhone 13 (tentative name), which will appear in 2021, will be equipped with a 'new Touch ID' that enables fingerprint authentication by simply touching the display.

Barclays analyst Andrew Gardiner and others have released a report to investors about the iPhone 13, which is expected to be released in late 2021. According to MacRumors, an Apple-related media that got this report, it is likely that the iPhone 13 will have Touch ID with a built-in display in addition to Face ID.

The display-integrated Touch ID, which is installed in the iPhone 13, is a fingerprint authentication system with a built-in display, similar to the type installed in Samsung's Galaxy S10.



In addition, the 4th generation iPad Air that appeared in October 2020 has a fingerprint authentication function 'Touch ID' built into the top button part.

In addition, the iPhone 13 series has a smaller notch at the top of the display than before, and the iPhone 13 Pro will be equipped with a LiDAR scanner in the main camera part. It seems that the LiDAR scanner will be installed only on the main camera of the 'Pro' model like the iPhone 12 series.

In addition, it is predicted that a larger change in Face ID will appear in 2022. This big change refers to the miniaturization of Face ID, and it has been pointed out that the iPhone may become a punchhole type display. In addition, the punch hole type display has already been adopted by multiple smartphones, and Google's Pixel 5 has also adopted it.



Gardiner explains that these forecasts are based on 'a few weeks of interaction with a wide range of industry players, including Apple's suppliers.'

Barclays analysts aren't the only ones predicting Touch ID with a built-in display. Media such as Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal also report that the iPhone 13 is testing for the adoption of Touch ID with a built-in display.

Barclays analysts are known to be the first to accurately predict that 'Apple will stop including charging adapters in the iPhone.' In addition, we accurately predicted the abolition of True Tone installed in iPhone 8 and iPhone X and 3D Touch in iPhone 11 series.
