CTOnews.com March 10, the latest news shows that Apple is working to move the iPhone Face ID to the bottom of the display and re-enable Touch ID, but it will take several years for both Face ID and Touch ID.

First, Ross Young, an analyst at DSCC, said Apple had been forced to postpone its off-screen Face ID plan for at least a year. This means that the off-screen Face ID function will not appear in iPhone until 2025 at the earliest. According to him, the delay is due to a "sensor problem".

It is worth mentioning that The Elec reported last month that Apple is still expected to adopt off-screen Face ID technology next year, which will bring a higher screen share to the iPhone 16 Pro model, but CTOnews.com believes that Ross Young's words are more credible, or that the information he is giving is the latest development in the supply chain.

On the other hand, @ yeux1122, a South Korean Naver user who has revealed Apple content several times in the past, now says that Apple has recently "made some progress in the development of an off-screen Touch ID".

Judging from the current level of development, after successfully moving the Face ID to the screen, the off-screen Touch ID will be on the right track within two to three years. This seems to imply that the priority of off-screen Touch ID comes after off-screen Face ID, and the timing of this technology depends on the early success of off-screen Face ID.

He also revealed that Apple is working on a new system that combines technologies such as "shortwave infrared + optical system". In addition to the basic fingerprint recognition function, the system can also be used to detect biological information such as blood oxygen saturation and pulse. it can even tell whether the user is wearing gloves and whether the user's fingers are dry or wet. And can bring faster recognition speed.

In other words, the off-screen Touch ID being developed by Apple is not a conventional off-screen fingerprint recognition function, and Apple has also achieved a simple health monitoring function through a variety of sensors, which is worth looking forward to.
