Apple is continuing to advance its internal hardware development, with prototypes of an "iPhone Duo 2" reportedly undergoing testing inside the company. According to reporting from Mark Gurman via 9to5Mac, these early test models are equipped with Face ID technology.
Internal prototyping is a routine phase in Apple's product pipeline, enabling engineers to evaluate chassis designs, biometric implementations, and overall performance. The inclusion of Face ID highlights Apple's focus on integrating its standard facial recognition security into the experimental hardware.
Because these devices are currently in the testing stage, their existence does not confirm a finalized consumer release or a specific timeline. Apple frequently builds and assesses different hardware variations that may be modified or shelved before reaching production.
