    In the eyes of apple the screen on an iPhone would act as a security device as it contains the fingerprint sensor.

      Just FYI, iPhones don’t have fingerprint sensors in the screen. Older models with fingerprint sensors have a capacitive sensor in a physical home button/capacitive pad.

      Newer iPhone’s exclusively use FaceID for biometrics, which uses the camera array at the top of the device.

      Same with the camera, and probably something can be said about the ports too.

      Should apple be allowed to completely close those off though? Nah

      Forget the sensors, they can say it’s a security related since it can display private info and their fans would defend that. You can bet they would make some excuse for almost everything and fight for it in court.
