iPhone 13 with Touch ID, iPad 9 with new bezel?

According to the latest disclosure by Bloomberg editor Mark Gurman, Apple has been testing the Touch ID feature on the screen for the latest generation iPhone. However, it is likely that this feature will not be available this year, and Apple’s goal is to focus entirely on Face ID.

Touch ID is a fingerprint recognition system and Face ID is a facial recognition system both developed by Apple. However, Apple was unable to include both features in the same phone model due to cost issues.

In particular, Face ID focuses on high-end models and Touch ID is for lower-life lines. With the iPhone 13, this phone model will likely have a 120Hz screen, upgraded memory to 1TB in the Pro version, and a faster A15 chip and a new camera sensor.

In addition to the iPhone 13 series, Mark Gurman also revealed information about the new generation iPad. Accordingly, the iPad 9 is expected to be thinner and use a faster chip with an aluminum alloy frame to target mainly students.

Apple also plans to equip the iPad 9 with a metal frame made of Titanium, but the expensive production cost may not be a suitable idea at this time.

In addition to the iPad 9 and iPhone 13, people are still waiting for the new MacBook and AirPods to be introduced in the third week of September.

As for Mark Gurman, this editor predicts that the new Mac mini will be released in the coming months with a new design, equipped with the M1X chip, although it will still sell the old lines using Intel chips until it is completely autonomous. high performance product lines.

The new Mac mini is apparently going to be thinner, have a four-sided aluminum case, and a reflective top that looks like a piece of mica. The new version could have more ports, with a sample design showing four Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports, a Gigabit Ethernet network port and an HDMI display port, and the same circular socket as on the 24-inch iMac.
