If you prefer to unlock your iPhone with your finger rather than your face, the iPhone 16 may not be for you: a new report from a well-connected insider says that almost none of Apple's Touch ID manufacturing equipment exists any more as the iPhone embraces facial recognition across the range. The outlier is the iPhone SE, and some rumours have previously suggested that'll embrace Face ID in its next generation too.
The report comes via social network Weibo, as reported by MacRumors. The circuit expert behind the posts has a decent track record of Apple hardware news, and they say that the only remaining Touch ID manufacturing hardware is for the current iPhone SE. If Apple had any plans to resurrect the touch tech, it clearly isn't going to do it any time soon.
