Quick Answer: Unfortunately, the iPhone 14 does not include Touch ID. Apple’s under-screen fingerprint sensor development has been slower than expected, resulting in its absence across all iPhone 14 models.
Apple hasn’t had Touch ID on a non-SE iPhone since 2017. That was when the iPhone X came out, and Face ID became the biometric standard. But what about the iPhone 14? Does it have Touch ID?
The base iPhone 14 still has a hefty notch, with Face ID sensors in full view. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max use the Dynamic island up top with Face ID sensors. But what about a fingerprint sensor for Touch ID?
Apple has been working on an under-screen fingerprint sensor since 2019, so maybe it’s ready for release. Let’s dive in.
So, does the iPhone 14 have a fingerprint sensor?
Short answer: No
Apple’s progress on making an under-screen fingerprint sensor for Touch ID is slower than expected. And it’s not available on any iPhone 14 model.
We’re still unsure if it will arrive on the iPhone 15. A research note from September last year says 2023 might be the year.
We’d love to see an under-screen version of Touch ID, or maybe built into the power button. After all, that’s where it is on the MacBook and some iPads.
| Device Type | Models with Touch ID | Year Introduced |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | iPhone 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus | 2013 |
| iPad mini | iPad mini 3 and later | 2014 |
| iPad Air | iPad Air 2 and later | 2014 |
| iPad | 2017 and 2018 models | 2017 |
| iPad Pro | 2015, 2016, and 2017 models | 2015 |
| MacBook Pro | Recent models (with Touch Bar) | 2016 |
| MacBook Air | Recent models | 2018 |
No, the iPhone 14 Pro Max does not include a fingerprint sensor. Apple has opted to continue using Face ID as this model’s primary biometric authentication method.
Yes, Face ID is considered a safe and secure biometric authentication method. Plus, your facial data is safely stored on your device, making it harder for someone to unlock it.
