 *Apple will reportedly bring back Touch ID on a foldable iPhone*

  "Bloomberg reports that it will come with a throwback feature: Touch ID.
   Why it's reverting to Touch ID from Face ID is unclear
   as the last use was on the third-generation iPhone SE."

Personally, I find it's indicative of how poorly designed the iPhone is
that it needs to be so securely locked down to the point that it is.

It's as if Apple knows iOS is the most exploited mobile OS in the world.

"According to Bloomberg, Apple was initially going to give the new
iPhone on-cell touch sensors, but pivoted to an in-cell option,
similar to the current iPhone. An in-cell screen builds the touch
sensors directly into the display, while an on-cell adds a layer on top,
creating a thicker end product, which can be more noticeable 
in folding phones where its display creases."
