The iPhone right now comes with a light structured laser emitter that happens to be the most important part of the Face ID and costs hundreds of Yuans, for which the company plans on replacing the feature with a fingerprint sensor that will help in cutting the cost of the phone and help in sales.
According to reports, Chinese users prefer buying smartphones that cost 5,000 Yuan (Rs 50,000 approx.) that has made companies like Vivo, Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo more popular in China, compared to Apple that sells its 2018 iPhone XR for approx. 8,000 Yuan.

It unclear right now if the existing iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, along with its successors will get this technology in China separately.
