A few months ago, after launching iPhone 12 series, the Cupertino-giant has already started working on the iPhone 13 series. However, the latest news reveals that the Apple is planning that smartphone will come with an optical in-display fingerprint sensor.
Apple could introduce an optical in-display fingerprint sensor as the secondary biometric option alongside Face ID. It would incorporate some of the features of the Samsung Galaxy S21 in its next-generation iPhones. iPhone 13 would also come with comparatively faster displays.
Previously, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman had also revealed that Apple is working on the optical in-display fingerprint and might introduce it with the iPhone 13 series. The feature is already available on Android phones. There is no physical button that scans your fingerprint but the screen lights up with the fingerprint icon whenever you place your finger. This is how the feature looks on Android devices. We are yet to figure how Apple wants to use this feature in its phones.
Apple is planning to equip its phones with sensor-shift optical image stabilization. This will give a DSLR-like technology to the iPhone 13 cameras. The Ultra Wide cameras on the two high-end models would be significantly upgraded to f/1.8, 6P (six-element lens) with autofocus. All the current iPhone 12 models are equipped with f/2.4, 5P (five-element lens) Ultra Wide cameras with fixed focus.
Apart from this, a report had previously suggested that the upcoming iPhone 13 models are expected to come with support for Wi-Fi 6E technology. It is being reported that the hardware for this Wi-Fi 6E technology will be supplied by semiconductor maker Skyworks. The reports also add the company could also use hardware from Broadcomm – the company which provides Wi-Fi 6E technology to Samsung for the S21 Ultra.
