While the iPhone Duo has only just hit store shelves today, Apple is reportedly already working on its successor. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman on his latest Power On podcast, the company is testing iPhone Duo 2 prototypes equipped with under-display Face ID on the outer screen.
One of the main criticisms of the first-generation iPhone Duo is its reliance on Touch ID instead of Face ID. While the fingerprint sensor embedded in the side button works accurately, it can take a little longer to recognise a fingerprint, according to some review. Its placement may also be less convenient depending on how the device is held.
