2020 iPhone might have Touch ID inside the screen

If you've been holding off on getting a new iPhone because Touch ID is gone, you might only have to wait another year. According to Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly testing iPhone prototypes with a new version of its Touch ID fingerprint sensor that's embedded in the display instead of inside a physical home button. The new in-display Touch ID would let "a user scan their fingerprint on a large portion of the display, and it would work in tandem with the existing Face ID system."

Bloomberg's report, however, suggests Apple could be readying the new Touch ID for iPhones for 2020 -- a year earlier if testing is successful. Apple replaced Touch ID with Face ID on the iPhone X in 2017, and the latest iPhones -- the iPhone XS and iPhone XR -- don't have a fingerprint sensor, either.
