In addition to the camera under the screen, there are also speculations about the return of the fingerprint sensor hidden behind the panel. Many smartphone sensors, such as Oppo or Samsung, already offer this system on their devices. But Apple already has a foot in the door, since the Californian company offers, for example, Touch ID under the home button of itsFourth generation and fifth generation iPad Air.
