NEW iPhone 13 rumours suggest the upcoming Apple device will be lacking some hotly anticipated features.
A supposed leak suggests we won’t be getting a new iPhone with in-display Touch ID later this year.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claimed in his weekly newsletter that Apple has been testing in-display Touch ID tech.
However, he says it won’t be ready in time for the iPhone 13.
Apple fans are hoping to see the release of the next iPhone in September 2021.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks the tech giant will launch an iPhone with in-display Touch ID next year.
Touch ID is a feature that some Apple users have greatly missed since the Home button was removed from the front display.
Instead of using this button for Touch ID, iPhone users had to rely on Face ID instead unless they wanted to type in their password.
Wearing masks throughout the pandemic has highlighted that Face ID isn’t always useful and this led to more cries for Touch ID to come back.
Previous rumours have suggested Apple wants to bring out an iPhone with both Touch ID and Face ID so all bases are covered.
Apple is also rumoured to be reducing the front display notch on its next iPhone and adding a bigger battery, bigger camera sensors and an A15 Bionic chip.
There’s also been claims of removing the notch altogether and having an in-display Face ID camera on future iPhones.
As with all leaks and rumours, we’ll have to wait for official word from Apple before we can know for sure when the next iPhone will be appearing and what features it will have.
