Face ID was at the time the cause of joy and unhappiness for Apple. With its debut on the iPhone X, and despite the fact that it was not the first biometric identification system based on a smartphone camera, it recorded a before and after, which contributed decisively to its popularity. So nowadays there is a large majority of devices that have a similar system, although it is true that with the technological development of different levels.

So far, joy, but we find the other side of the coin the aesthetic impact of the elements on which Face ID is based on the front of the iPhone. First it was more than a characteristic notch, and much more recently, so far only on the Pro models, a dynamic island that seems to jump to all models in the future generation of the iPhone 15. It’s a change that Apple is partially satisfied with, but it’s still far from an ideal solution , which they have been striving for for years.

So we’ve been hearing for quite some time now about Apple’s plans, patents and research to place its biometric identification system, be it Face ID or Touch ID, under the screen, a solution that will allow the entire front of future iPhones to be a screen. , without perforations and other types of elements in the same The problem is that, for whatever reason, it seems that they still haven’t finished finding the most appropriate way to implement these technologies while maintaining the minimum impact on the screen and maintaining the security standards offered by both systems in their current versions.

From time to time, as I said before, there are new rumors about it that suggest it could be closer, but this is countered by others that point to longer dates. And it is in this latter group that we find the prediction of Ross Young, an analyst who is generally quite reliable and who suggests that Face ID under the screen will not reach the iPhone until at least 2025as we can read recent tweet.

According to Young, the reason lies in sensor problems, which is not very accurate because there are several Face IDs and each of them can have several problems. However, this tells us that another important part of this technology, a screen capable of dynamically reproducing content depending on whether the sensors are activated or deactivated, would work properly.
