The foldable iPhone has certainly kicked up excitement and anticipation among tech enthusiasts. However, the latest reports about this foldable iPhone from Apple state that the newfound Face ID, which was speculated on, was not going to fit into this phone. This will be a big departure from its boasts concerning security features from Apple.
Potential Reasons Said to Be Related to The Exclusion of Face ID
The technology the brand has worked on to date, as said, has not matured enough to be integrated into foldable iPhones; the very fact of folding the principal screen in just cannot be that easy to put the sensors there. The True Depth camera system of Face ID uses more space and is impossible to install behind the display, which is why Apple may plan to drop Face ID altogether.
What's Another Option? Touch ID or Passcode?
Most experts assert that under-display Touch ID will be offered on its foldable iPhones as opposed to adopting Face ID. This technology is quite famous among many Android phones. The company considers using a passcode for security or some other biometric methods combined.
What Might Be User Reactions?
Face ID has, for generations, been a de facto standard for iPhone users. It's touted to be one of the fastest and most secure unlocking methods. Such an obstacle, if not found in foldable devices, may be disappointing to many. Otherwise, if it offers any reliable alternative Touch ID, it will be an accepted option.
Future Plans Of Apple
Analysts opine that it is not one to just dump everything onto its first foldable iPhone in quite high tech, but more to sell it bit by bit over time and gradually, even throwing in all kinds of functionalities, just like past iPhones have done over time. Face ID might have to be excluded from the first foldable iPhone, but that technology will likely be available in future generations of foldable units.
News in this regard about Face ID missing out from the foldable iPhone will probably be a turn-off for many tech junkies. However, one has to take it with humility as these are changing times, and Apple's foldable concept has really been brought to life now. Now all that remains is how it puts in place a mechanism for security and user practicality.
