The first iPhone Duo reviews have highlighted various problems for Apple’s leaflet (also considering the price at which it is offered). Among the most critical aspects is theabsence of Face IDreplaced by a not particularly fast Touch ID sensor.
Apple should take action. The Cupertino company, in fact, is already testing the second generation iPhone Duo which, among the new features, will have Face ID. The confirmation comes from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, a very authoritative source regarding the news coming from Apple.
Let’s remember that among the compromises of the smartphone there is also one particularly “soft” fold which has raised several concerns among users, especially regarding its long-term durability.
Is Face ID essential?
The absence of Face ID is one of the compromises made by Apple with its iPhone Duo, which highlighted several critical issues during the first tests. For this reason, the new generation will not be able to do without this functionality. Apple is already testing the first prototypes.
The main reason that forced Apple to give up Face ID on the first model was extremely reduced thickness of the bodywhich did not leave enough space to accommodate the sensors. However, according to what Gurman reported in his podcast Power Onthe company is solving this limitation by integrating Face ID directly under the external display.
An interesting aspect still to be clarified is whether the arrival of Face ID will mean a definitive farewell to Touch ID integrated into the power button. Apple could in fact decide di maintain both authentication methodsguaranteeing maximum flexibility both with the device closed and open.
