A new report from Chinese media sprouts talks of at least one 2020 iPhone 12 model shipping with an under-display fingerprint scanner. Since 2017, when Apple launched the iPhone X, it removed Touch ID, only to bring it back in the new iPhone SE, so there’s still hope that capacitive fingerprint sensors will popularize once more. This time though, Apple is looking to bring back the fingerprint reader while also embedding it beneath the display.

A report from Economic News Daily talks about a partnership between touch panel maker GIS, OLED display maker BOE and Qualcomm to mass-produce ultrasonic fingerprint readers, and at least one 2020 iPhone 12 model from the reported four arriving later this year could have it. According to MacRumors, Economic News Daily talked about one new iPhone featuring an under-display fingerprint scanner, and while it could arrive in this year’s models, there’s a possibility a delay may happen, and the tech may arrive in 2021 instead.
