The feature will arrive, but maybe not for a while. Other rumors, like one from early 2021 citing Apple employees who spoke with the Wall Street Journal (opens in new tab), still suggest in-screen fingerprint sensors are coming to flagship iPhones, but don’t specify a timeframe. (Image credit: Future) Why in-screen Touch ID could wait til the iPhone 14 or later Other rumors cite analysts with knowledge of Apple’s supply chain, who claim the feature is coming in the iPhone 13, and will not only keep Face ID but improve it – with other leaks suggesting the front-facing cameras will be hidden under the display, too, to finally get rid of the notch.

Various Apple patents suggest the feature is coming, like a couple filed in July 2020 for an ‘ Optical-Fingerprint Detection System (opens in new tab)’ which at least suggests the company is seriously investigating the tech and, conceivably, integrating it into its phones. Another patent also suggests that the cameras could get ‘subepidermal imaging’ to scan the veins under the skin as an even more robust authentication, though it seems linked to Face ID rather than fingerprint sensing. This will exclusive to Apple’s next flagship phone, implying that it will get in-screen fingerprint scanning. Another leak suggested the upcoming iOS 15, which is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 13, supports dual biometric authentication through both Touch ID and Face ID. The rumors continued into 2021, with a Bloomberg report in January suggesting the feature was coming in the iPhone 13.
Since then, other rumors have claimed that the iPhone 13 will get in-screen Touch ID – in October 2020, leakers suggested ‘MESA uts’ was coming to iPhones, with ‘MESA’ being a keyword for Touch ID and ‘uts’ for under the screen. Granted, we’ve been hearing rumors that iPhones will get in-screen Touch ID for years, including one in September 2019 saying the iPhone 12 would get the feature – but even that leak suggested it could come in the 2021 phones (aka the iPhone 13) instead. And if you do use Touch ID and want to turn it off, it’s easy to disable in Settings.(Image credit: TechRadar) Why in-screen Touch ID could be coming to iPhone 13 Touch ID is generally considered secure, but even if you own an iPhone that utilizes the feature, you’re not required to use it yourself.

Since then, it has appeared on 12 major models of iPhone (and some iPad models as well).

RELATED: How to Take a Screenshot on iPhone Which iPhone Models Support Touch ID?Īpple introduced Touch ID on the iPhone 5s in 2013.

IPhones with Touch ID have a home button (a large circle) just below the screen.
It comes in handy because you don’t need to type in your PIN number or passwords as often when purchasing apps, logging into accounts, or unlocking your iPhone. To use it, you gently place your finger on the Touch ID sensor build into the home button. Touch ID is a biometric authentication feature that recognizes your fingerprint to verify your identity.
