The iPhone 13 launch is not too far away and there have been a few surprising revelations around the corner. Apple is expected to launch four models of the iPhone 13 with a smaller notch and tweaked camera sensors.

While nothing certain just yet, a new report coins that Apple tested Touch ID on the iPhone 13 series but it's unlikely that it'll launch this year.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman shared his insights within the new Power On newsletter, citing that Apple won't incorporate in-display Touch ID on the iPhone since it's a long-term comitment to keep Face ID under the display. Note that this is not the first time that we are hearing details of an in-display Touch ID. For this year though, Apple is merely making the notch smaller on the iPhone 13.

In the future, Apple could decide to get rid of the notch and place Face ID components under the display. Since many smartphones have now begun to use the in-display camera technology, it's only a matter of time before Apple jumps on the bandwagon with its own implementation. Gurman provides two possibilities how Apple could proceed with Touch ID and Face ID in the future.

For one, Apple could incorporate Face ID under the display only on high-end models while the entry-level iPhones will feature Face ID within the notch. The second thanks to set about it's by integrating in-display Face ID on higher-end models of the iPhone, while low-end models will feature Touch ID inside the screen. the corporate could use either option or set about it differently but there must be a long-term plan for Touch ID.

As for what we expect, the iPhone 13 series will feature a smaller notch with a 120Hz refresh rate display and new camera sensors. Additionally, Apple will add its new and improved A15 processor which may even include up to 1TB of storage capacity. The Cupertino giant will launch the iPhone 13 series sometime in September along side a bunch of other products.
