Touch ID is with users AppIt's a very popular technology, but many fear it may not be with us for much longer. Last year Apple introduced iPhone X and new technology Face ID, which replaced the popular fingerprint reader here. And according to all available evidence, it looks like all three iPhone models that should Apple on September Keynote imagine, they will also miss Home Button, in which it was Touch ID placed.

However, according to one of the patents Appwould like to be missing Home Button didn't have to mean even konec Touch IDThe patent describes a new technology that would allow a fingerprint reader to be embedded directly into the device's display. It's called an optical fingerprint reader, and a similar technology is currently being used by a handful of Chinese smartphone makers. It's expected to arrive next year.ultrasonic" readers from Samsung in their model Galaxy S10. However, even that differs from the technology it describes Apple in his patent, differs.

Thus Apple describes the new technology in the patent:

Apple would use several cameras placed under one of the layers of the display itself if this technology were to be implemented. Of course, the user will not see the cameras and they will only be used to capture a 3D image of the fingerprint attached to the device's display. There would be more cameras in the device and they would be able to determine the 3D structure of the print sample. They would then compare this with the prints stored in the device.

Of course we know how it is with Applema patents works - the Cupertino company submits a large number of applications, but only a few of them will actually see real use. In this case, however, we believe that this is a technology that would be in their devices Apple liked to implement. Some users still prefer Touch ID before Face ID and with this step everyone could choose variathe one that is more pleasant to him.
