Mark Gurman, decidedly in great shape today, did not only have information on the Mac Mini M1X to give.In his Sunday newsletter, the Childcare of Bloomberg explains that Apple tested a fingerprint sensor on the iPhone screen, but that this new version of Touch ID should not be revealed with the iPhone 13.

Ce bruit de couloir est particulièrement insistant, et il a du sens dans un monde où le port du masque va manifestement rester une réalité pendant encore de longs mois1.But Apple has not yet found the miracle recipe, which Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted last June: the analyst announced that the iPhone with Touch ID on screen will wait 2022.

Even more interesting, Mark Gurman writes that Apple also works on the front in the screen under the screen, a "long -term" objective.This technology is slowly starting to deploy in competing manufacturers, as with Samsung with its Galaxy Z Fold 3 (there is still work to make everything completely transparent).

Gurman paints two scenarios concerning Touch ID and Face ID in the future:

In other words, Face ID will remain the preferred biometric solution by Apple.
