Kuo: 2022 iPhones could get in-display Touch ID and drop the 5.4-inch mini
(iMore iPhone)

What you need to know A new Ming-Chi Kuo report says Apple`s 2022 iPhones could see the return of Touch ID, this time built into the display. 2022 will reportedly see the end of the 5.4-inch iPhone. Two 6.1-inch and two 6.7-inch iPhones incoming, says Kuo. Apple`s 2022 iPhone lineup will be a big departure from the 2020 and 2021 offerings, according to the often reliable Ming-Chi Kuo. In a new research note seen by iMore, Kuo says there is still the possibility that next year`s devices will usher in the return of Touch ID, but inside the display rather than the traditional Home button. We won`t see it be part of the side button like the current iPad Air, either. In terms of the Touch ID sensor, Kuo says that Apple will use its own technology rather than license someone else`s. Putting Touch ID into the display is something we`ve heard rumors of Apple working on for years, so this makes plenty of sense. Things get even more interesting when discussing the lineup as a whole, too...
