Apple tests under-screen TouchID technology

Mark Gurman, known for his sources close to Apple, shared information about the iPhone 15 series. According to Gurman, Apple is working on integrating TouchID under the screen, but due to the disadvantages of this technology, it will not be used in the iPhone 15 model. Although Apple wants to use under-screen fingerprinting, the additional cost of technology, additional research and development processes, and physical parts have discouraged the company from this idea. Considering that the company has started to use notches on MacBook models, Touch ID technology may soon be completely replaced by FaceID.
