  "account": "Mark Gurman, the Apple oracle from Bloomberg's Power On podcast, has reported on the upcoming iPhone Duo 2 and iPhone Duo 3. Early reviews of the iPhone Duo have been positive, with one reviewer, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder, calling it the \"most interesting iPhone since the first one.\" However, some reviewers have expressed concerns about the phone's reliance on Touch ID, an outdated fingerprint sensor technology. Gurman revealed that prototypes of the iPhone Duo 2 with an under-display Face ID sensor and camera on the outer display are already circulating within Apple. He believes that Apple is working on a solution for this issue, likely to be addressed in the next two to three years.",
