This year the iPhone 14 is on the agenda. But top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo already knows about a detail that will only surpass the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 in 2023 and 2024.

- Touch ID under the display will apparently not be available in the subsequent generations of the iPhone 14 either.
- Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said so be learned.
- But he also says why he doesn’t see that as critical.
Already arrived in the Android world, apparently still unthinkable for Apple for years – we are talking about a fingerprint scanner that does its job invisibly below the display. This will definitely not be used with the iPhone 14.
As the well-known well-connected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo found out, Apple will not rely on it for either the iPhone 15 or the iPhone 16. The respected analyst, who was very often right in the past with his forecasts, is correcting his own statements regarding the technology. He had originally guessed that Apple would bet on it from 2023.
Face ID is an excellent solution
With a recent iOS update, Apple introduced the ability to use Face ID to unlock the iPhone even when the user is wearing a mask. The solution works very well in everyday life, says Kuo. The analyst speaks of a “great solution”.
It is therefore quite conceivable that Apple will remain permanently with Face ID and in the foreseeable future will push Touch ID to the sidelines on iPhones. The iPhone SE 2022 is the only remaining Apple smartphone that does not have Face ID.
