The claim
Apple's second-generation iPhone Duo, expected next fall, adds Face ID under the outer display, and Apple is also considering an Action button.
Why we rated it Rumor
From Bloomberg's Mark Gurman on his Power On podcast, relayed by MacRumors and 9to5Mac. Gurman has a strong Apple record, but he says Apple is only testing Face ID on prototypes and has not decided whether it will ship, so this stays a Rumor. The first iPhone Duo uses Touch ID in the side button. Early iPhone Duo reviews criticized the Touch ID placement, which makes Face ID a likely priority, but there is still no second source beyond Gurman.
