Yes, this is not news. Indeed, many manufacturers have already shown their similar solution. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how Apple implements this chip.
This information was disseminated by a well-knownMini analyst Shi Kuo, from whom we often hear forecasts regarding the future of Apple, which are 95% true. So, the analyst reports that in 2021 Apple will finally release its phone, which will not only have Face ID technology, but also a fingerprint scanner built into the screen.
