Apple reportedly considered reverting to Touch ID, but has since dropped the idea.
The Cupertino company has been gradually increasing the screen to body ratio of its iPhones for quite some time. The notch was first made smaller, then subsequently dropped in favor of the Dynamic Island.
But many still recall how this originally began - with the iPhone X and the elimination of the signature iPhone home button. The death of the latter also spelled the end of Touch ID and the rise of Face ID. This is what originally enabled Apple to conform to the new standard in iPhone design. However, 5 years later, the need for a cutout for the Face ID sensors has become problematic in itself. While the company is developing under-display Face ID, under-display fingerprint readers are very much mainstream.
Hence, the question is whether Apple could relent and shift back to Touch ID. According to Mark Gurman, the final authority on all-things Apple, such a move is highly unlikely.

Additionally, the possibility of putting the reader in the power button was also explored.
However, neither of those prospects seem likely at the present moment. Gurman believes that Face ID “is here to stay” and that Touch ID “won’t be returning to flagship iPhones — at least anytime in the foreseeable future”. These comments were first covered by 9to5 Mac inIt will be interesting to see how much this decision will delay the inevitable all-screen iPhone. Only time will tell.
