Apple is currently evaluating an under-display version of Face ID for the iPhone Duo 2, as reported by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. This new biometric capability might substitute the Touch ID fingerprint reader included on the initial foldable iPhone model.

Pre-order customers are just now receiving the iPhone Duo after last week's sales launch. Yet, initial critiques point out multiple first-generation flaws, specifically regarding complaints about the Touch ID scanner.

Critics mention that the button is hard to access depending on the user's grip style. Furthermore, the system demands that individuals hold their fingers in place on the scanner to completely unlock the handset.

Because of these complaints, Face ID turned into a heavily demanded addition for the subsequent device. Gurman shared on his recent Power On podcast that Apple is currently evaluating iPhone Duo 2 prototypes featuring concealed facial recognition beneath the screen.

Despite this testing, it is still uncertain if Apple will launch the technology commercially next year. Success relies entirely on whether engineers can shrink vital parts, such as the infrared camera and dot projector, to fit underneath the screen panel.
