Apple tests under-display Face ID and Action Button in iPhone Duo 2 prototypes
Reports indicate that Apple is testing under-display Face ID and Action Button features at the prototype stage for its next-generation iPhone Duo 2 model. This move, following criticism over Touch ID in the first model, is considered an important step for the series' future design updates.
Apple is reportedly working on under-display Face ID technology and an Action Button in iPhone Duo 2 prototypes. According to information shared by Mark Gurman, the company aims to integrate the facial recognition system under the display to resolve biometric verification issues experienced in the first-generation device.
Feedback from early users of the iPhone Duo focuses particularly on the usability difficulties of the Touch ID sensor. The limited accessibility of the fingerprint reader depending on the gripping angle of the device and the necessity of keeping the finger steady on the sensor to unlock are among the key elements negatively affecting the user experience.
Mark Gurman announced on the PowerOn podcast that Apple is testing under-display Face ID technology in iPhone Duo 2 prototypes to address these shortcomings. The realization of this technology depends on reducing the sizes of components such as the dot projector and infrared camera. Additionally, the Action Button feature, which was absent in the first model, is expected to be integrated into the system with the new device.
