          So apple will wait till the price will go down for under-display fingerprint.

            Why? Chinese phones have under-display fingerprint reader for years but Apple rather save some money and use old style Touch ID

Obviously Apple did it first because Apple is oh so innovative with their brand new side mounted fingerprint reader, nobody's ever done that before just like the notch, just like higher resolution displays, just like the headphone jack, just like literally everything because Apple is so innovative /s

                  somehow fruit lovers claimed that fruit wait for the right time and improve it. Doesn't matter who first lmao.

                      Guys, this is pure innovation here. Amazing!

                            as long as you can live without regret that all.

                              Two words, FAKE NEWS!
                              Fandroids always come up with such rumors in order to discredit Apple if it eventually turns out to be false. Same as the 120Hz and small notch thingy.

                                One more weak spot waiting to be bended 😂

                                  apple copy from all the mobile company and show off as if they as the first one,
                                  think about the Iphone 11 series camera they copy from huawei and now everyone is thinking that other company are after them.
                                  shameless

                                    Perhaps we need to rethink what 'super thin bezels' really means and stop using it accordingly. 'Super thin' is just misleading, suggesting below 2mm
