iPhone Duo 2 Prototypes Include Under-Display Face ID

Apple is testing a hidden Face ID sensor for the next iPhone Duo, while employees also explore adding the Action button.

  • On his Power podcast, Mark Gurman reports that Apple is testing under-display Face technology for the upcoming Duo, integrating the sensor beneath the outer display.
  • Early reviewers, including Chance Miller, complained that the first Duo model utilized Touch technology instead of Face technology due to enclosure constraints.
  • Apple is exploring adding an Action button to the next-gen Duo, while refining internal hardware components to allow smaller cutouts on future models.
  • Apple's strategy involves staggering feature releases, reintroducing Face technology in the second Gen to ensure users feel the "need" to upgrade despite potential FOMO.
  • With the first Duo launching tomorrow, expectations remain high for a second-generation model next fall as Apple continues refining prototypes based on user feedback.
