Rumors about the new iPhone are endless, and as some look unattractive to us, they multiply over time. One of the most unusual and stressful rumors confirms that Apple continues to think about putting a fingerprint sensor under the screen of its next iPhone, and today it has touched us again with the information it reveals Economic Daily News.
According to these rumors, Apple is preparing a IPhone with 5G technology and touch ID at the bottom of the screen this year, which means it should be one of the 4 models of the iPhone 12 that we expect for the year 2020. The details are clear:GIS touch panel manufacturer, OLED BOE display maker, and Qualcomm are collaborating on ultrasonic technology that can be installed at least on high-end models in the Apple iPhone 5G 5G line."
It's not the first time we've heard that the iPhone can put this kind of technology under the screen, though Recent rumors about the iPhone 12 line have not been made the same thing.. Also, this could be a way to cut costs at least for this year's iPhone 12s.
IPhone 12 with touch ID?
There are now two types of fingerprint sensors at the bottom of the screen: Optical and ultrasonic. Light variants rely on the light from the phone screen to create a 2D image of the finger, while Ultrasonic models use high-speed audio to produce a 3D fingerprint image. Qualcomm is a specialist in the latter, which, on the other hand, is safer and faster, which we should see on the iPhone called, always according to these indicators.

On the other hand, we expect that Apple will introduce 4 new iPhone 12 models this year, one in addition to its 2018 and 2019 models. This new model can be small, just in case 5.4 inches, and probably cheaper. It might be Apple's appropriate device for running this new fingerprint sensor at the bottom of the screen, this way it may not have a notch, which can take up a large portion of the surface area as it is small.
However, you have to be very careful with this new information, rumors and leaks this year did not mention that Apple will use the Apple ID under the screen on the 2020 iPhone, even with the famous M.Ark Gurman said he did not expect this technology on the iPhone this year. The only recent rumor we've ever heard of a photo ID at the bottom of the screen was related to a new iPad Air suspect, but it's not rumors that it works long, too.
We are not familiar with Apple's plans it seems pretty clear that the best bet for devices is the face ID and not the Touch ID, maintained by the middle and lower grades of iPhone and iPad. We'll see if these rumors continue to come from other sources or if they are completely forgotten.
