Hum… for all we know, they might be interested in under display fingerprint sensors for, say, the Touch Bar or something else. FACE ID it great on the iPhone!
Got a tip for us?

No way. I’d never got back to a Touch ID only phone. Anyway I presume this would be for low end models that would otherwise use Touch ID. That way Apple can create a smaller phone with a larger screen.

There's not going to be both FaceID & TouchID - just TouchID. The whole point of getting a fingerprint reader under the screen is to get rid of the horrible notch. Bye bye to animoji too - and good riddance
That would be a dream, a full screen iphone without notch!! And fingerprint instant access to the home screen??? ( no more extra steps) now make it 16:9 so we can use it with one hand
the return of the iphone

My issue with Face ID has nothing to do with accuracy or ease of use. It's pretty accurate and easy to use, but I don't think it's as easy as Touch ID nor is it as intuitive. I just find the way the Touch ID workflows go to be easier to understand. Like, I'm never going to accidentally turn my phone off because I tried to double tap the SLEEP button to CONFIRM that I want to pay with Apple Pay and then get nervous because in my moment of confusion, I pressed the SLEEP button four times already in a short period of time and pressing it a fifth time will trigger an emergency call countdown.
Nobody uses Animoji outside USA , as nobody uses iMesseges outside USA

Problem with underscreen touch id is there isnt a phisical button so lock button will still doing all this functions...
No way it’s replacement for Face ID. That would be silly.
It may be a secondary system for those cases where you want to unlock the phone while it’s on the table and for the few people that prefer it.
Personally, I don’t care for it. Touch ID was never reliable for me, and Face ID is so good, it’s like I don’t have a password at all.
Face ID works on my Bike. Face ID works when i'm sweaty. Face ID works at my Desk. Face ID works when i'm lying down in bed. FACE ID WORKS
Touch ID was awful and never worked for me. The amount of people that hate Face ID here is staggering. I don't get it. What are you doing wrong?

I live outside USA and my entire family and most of my friends from work use iMessage primarily.

Vocal minority.
Touch ID was very inconsistent for me, and Face ID is literally like magic.

It’s going to have a notch because Face ID is not going anywhere, even if they do add Touch ID - and I doubt they found a way to have the depth camera below the glass.
Also what do you mean “the return of the iPhone”? iPhones were never as good as they are now. Apple is nailing it.

With Face ID tech. we don't need Touch ID in my opinion but with no notch we need some sort of authentication and I guess Touch ID is as good as Face ID.
This is a small step for an iPhone, but a huge step for an iPad with small bezels.
Anyway... just install both. Problem solved. Everyone's happy.

Between this and the MacBook Pro keyboards it seems like Apple is listening to customers again. Yay!
There's a possibility I'll have an iPhone again in a year or two.

just was in Walgreens using Apple Pay on my XS, for the umptieth time, the multi-step forth and back and forth required of face ID and tapping the pay box at the register failed and had to start over and repeat the process again to get it to work.
This never happened with my 6S+ using the fingerprint sensor with my thumb, that was ALWAYS a flawless one step tap with my thumb on the sensor.
So yes, the frustration factor and ease of use is pretty obvious if you ever use apple pay at the grocer or other stores.
or when face id fails in the morning because of swelling.
Yes. Bring back a snappy fingerprint sensor!
Some people don't like being on the wrong side of a camera. Personally, I just type in a six character code with both Latin and non Latin letters.
clearly fake news, because apple told us that faceid is much more accurate than a fingerprint scanner.
what's next? they're gonna reintroduce the headphone jack? now that would be brave of them.

They never said it was more accurate. They said it was more secure.
Iphone 8 and 8 plus have face id without the Notch. Got it! Where are you people from?
Face ID is much more smarter and intuitive than Touch ID.
Face ID has notification privacy, attention aware features, and gets to know you over time.
It’s also faster. By the time you look at your iPhone it is unlocked, meaning you aren’t going to blocked by an authentication when you tap on a notification or app, or when you need to authenticate for Siri commands or HomeKit devices.
But it would be nice to have Touch ID too, sometimes I like to cross dress and my face isn’t always getting scanned when I change the shape of my face. It’s also good if you wanna unlock your device without looking at it.
But Face ID is superior, you can unlock the device with gloves on. With Touch ID you can’t, but at least you can unlock your device with a rob mask on.

More accurate is less secure if more accurate means less false negatives. More false negatives is less false positives.
lol that guy is just complaining to complain. I have a wireless charging stand to the right of my computer. All I have to do is tap my screen and it unlocks instantly LOL
