Apple iPhone 9 to arrive with Face ID, bigger screen than iPhone 8

The oldest Apple phone currently on the market is iPhone 8, and the Cupertino company plans on using that as a base for its upcoming cheaper and more compact offering. New reports from suppliers who attended CES 2020 and spoke with a source from Japan shed some light on its specs.

According to the info, Apple wants to bring the iPhone 9 with the body of an iPhone 8, the latest chipset A13 Bionic and with Face ID, while omitting Touch ID and the button as well to make room for a bigger screen.

Adopting a TrueDepth camera and removing the fingerprint scanner will allow the display to grow from 4.7″ to 5.4″. The camera will also be updated, as well as the accompanying LED flash.
