According to a new report coming from Taiwan's integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing industry, Apple has already developed and tested in-house TDDI (touch & display driver integration) ICs that also incorporate fingerprint recognition sensors . Apple's new chips are planned to be used in upcoming iPhone models, reducing the thickness of the screen even further while at the same time eliminating the need to use the classic Home button :
The TDDI single-chip solutions will also come with integrated fingerprint sensors. The integrated design would fit into future iPhone designs – models with ultra-thin and ultra-narrow displays, and with a whole plane design eliminating the Home button.

Do you think we will see an iPhone without a Home button and with an in-display fingerprint sensor within the next 2 years?
