Quick answer: No, the iPhone 14 does not have Touch ID. It’s possible an under-screen version will come with the iPhone 15.

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.
