Briefings
A report from November 2026 indicates Apple engineers are actively developing Face ID for the iPhone Duo 2's outer display, though the feature may not be included in the upcoming second-generation device. The report notes that while chip and camera upgrades are expected, Face ID integration remains uncertain and potentially excluded from the final product.
Key points
- Apple engineers are reportedly actively attempting to integrate Face ID into the iPhone Duo 2's outer display for the next generation device.
- The feature may not be included in the final iPhone Duo 2 despite ongoing development efforts.
Context
This finding relates to Apple's ongoing product roadmap for the iPhone Duo 2, which is expected to launch in late 2026. The device is anticipated to feature significant chip and camera upgrades, but the inclusion of biometric security features like Face ID remains unconfirmed.
Limitations
The evidence is limited to a single report from November 2026 stating engineers are 'reportedly attempting' to bake Face ID. It does not confirm whether the feature will be included, nor does it specify the exact hardware implementation or timeline for the second-generation iPhone Duo.
