Kuo: iPhone Fold Unlikely to Feature In-Display Touch ID
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says Apple’s foldable iPhone won’t debut with in-display Touch ID — Face ID remains the focus.
Kuo: iPhone Fold Unlikely to Feature In-Display Touch ID
Rumors have long suggested Apple might bring back Touch ID in a futuristic way — under the screen of a foldable iPhone. But analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has once again poured cold water on those expectations, saying in-display Touch ID remains unlikely for Apple’s first foldable device.
What Kuo Is Saying
According to Kuo, Apple continues to prioritize Face ID as its main biometric solution. While the foldable iPhone is still on track for the second half of 2026, it’s increasingly clear that Apple won’t integrate Touch ID under the display, despite competitors experimenting with similar features.
Why It Matters
Apple has invested heavily in Face ID hardware and software, making it the most secure biometric system on mobile.
In-display fingerprint sensors are still prone to speed and reliability issues.
A foldable iPhone is already a huge leap — Apple may choose to refine what works rather than introduce untested complexity.
Apple Secrets Take
Apple’s foldable iPhone will likely push boundaries in design, but when it comes to security, Face ID isn’t going anywhere. For those hoping Touch ID would make a comeback under the screen, it looks like that wait just got longer.
