Even so, he said Apple is \"running out of time\" to finalize the feature for that model, so it might not arrive until the iPhone Duo 3. He gave no timeline beyond that, and he did not say whether the other three goals are tied to a particular generation.\n\nA quick translation of the list: Face ID is Apple's face-scanning unlock system, and the Action button is a programmable physical button Apple has added to other iPhones. A telephoto camera is a lens with optical zoom for distant subjects. Thinner and lighter needs no translation.\n\nThe useful detail is where Gurman placed the uncertainty. A prototype with Face ID on the outer display exists, so the open question is finalizing the feature, not whether Apple can build it. Those are different problems, and a prototype alone does not tell you which generation of a product will ship with a feature.\n\nFace ID, an Action button, and a telephoto lens all exist elsewhere in Apple's iPhone lineup. The work Gurman describes is therefore fitting them into the Duo, and outer-display Face ID is the one he flagged as short on time.","[\"apple\",\"iphone-duo\",\"rumors\",\"face-id\"]","2026-11-15T16:42:29.000Z","2026-11-15T18:04:44.703Z","2026-11-15T18:05:43.472Z","published",null,[24,30,34],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Remove the unsupported 'November 15' date (the source only says 'today'), and stop claiming Face ID is the only feature Apple has taken to test units or the only one with a deadline, since the source says nothing about prototypes or timing for the other three.
