They could simply put a pop up similar to the one I made for my fictional concept phone :

It is electromagnetically actuated, meaning it is crazy fast and wouldn't cause any noticeable delay for unlocking the phone, it virtually has no wear, can't really break, and be swapped without opening the phone's main body, and is totally sealed off of the phone, meaning totally waterproof, it would allow all the sensors of Face ID (and even more) while giving a 100% fulldisplay device.

Also, at 7.4mm the iPhone 12 series is already stupid thin, a bit of thickness would really be a nice addition to it.

My guess for obvious caveats.
1> Only supported on devices above iPhone 11
2> Only supported on Apple Watch Series 4 and Later

Apple , Just bring back the fingerprint sensor , and put it on the edge of the phone , problem solved . I never liked face ID to begin with , it made the phone with huge notch.

Although the implementation I have tried in the past (Lumia 950) was by no means the speediest authentication method, that was several years ago - the manufacturers could have made some progress with that.

All they needed was to add an Optical Touch ID system in the first place.
