According to a report from the British newspaper The Telegraph six weeks ago, Face ID component supplier Coherent was considering options for a manufacturing facility in Newton Aycliffe, England. They were reportedly exploring selling or repurposing the facility after losing a supply deal, believed to be with Apple. The report suggested that Apple might make significant changes to the Face ID system for the iPhone 16 models.
The precise changes that Apple may make to Face ID on the iPhone 16 are still unknown. Rumors started circulating early on that the iPhone 16 Pro might have Face ID hidden beneath the screen. This shift, however, may not take place until next year, according to Ross Young, a credible source in the display sector.
The future of Face ID on the iPhone 16 is still up in the air, but whether or not it will bring about any significant upgrades—like quicker authentication—is anyone’s guess. Even though Apple frequently upgrades internal components in new iPhone generations, these tweaks don’t necessarily result in new functionality or apparent advantages for users.
Lastly, it is still unknown what, if any, adjustments Apple will make to Face ID on the iPhone 16 models. As the anticipated September release of these gadgets draws near, additional speculation and details regarding this subject may surface.
