Apple’s first‑generation iPhone Duo is set to launch tomorrow, and it will use a side‑button fingerprint sensor instead of Face ID. The foldable design leaves little room for the depth‑sensing hardware that Face ID requires, and the phone will start at $1,999.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple is testing iPhone Duo 2 prototypes that include an under‑display Face ID module. The company is still deciding whether the feature will ship in the next generation, but the hardware is reportedly being evaluated.
Gurman also notes that future iPhone Duo models could add Face ID and a dedicated telephoto camera. He suggests that advances in component size and artificial intelligence might make these upgrades possible by the third generation.
In addition to Face ID, Gurman mentioned that Apple might introduce an Action button on the Duo and that an all‑screen iPhone expected next year could also feature under‑display Face ID.
