IPhone users may have another unlock option with the upcoming Apple model: an in-display fingerprint scanner, the Wall street journal reports.
Two former Apple employees tell the daily that Apple has been working on an optical sensor that would be located inside the iPhone to authenticate users using fingerprints. They claim that it is “more reliable” than a Qualcomm ultrasonic sensor, and that iPhone users would have the option of using Face ID or Touch ID.
Apple declined to comment at dailyBut the employees “emphasized that whatever solution Apple chose, it would have to meet the security standards of its current Touch ID.”
Touch ID is still in use on the iPhone SE 2020, as well as the iPad and MacBooks. Apple’s flagship iPhones and iPads are based on Face ID.
Apple would catch up with Samsung here, although Apple tends to take its time with these things. The new Galaxy S21 Ultra, with Qualcomm’s sports ultrasonic sensor, “is noticeably faster and more accurate than the sensor in the S10 and S20,” we found in our review. “On the other hand, facial recognition repeatedly failed to recognize my face (with or without a mask).”
