Among last year's iPhones, we can't find a single model with Touch ID. This technology is Apple, at least for iPhones, has been released. In the new Apple phonesoneso we will find a much more secure authentication method Face ID, which was introduced in 2017 together with iPhonem X. The probability of its breaking is in this case 1:1000000, u Touch ID it was 1:50000. Although it is Face ID 20x safer on paper, it is not foolproof. Some identical twins have managed to break this technology. But there are still many individuals who will not allow it to happen. Touch ID And according to published patents, it may not even be planning to say goodbye to this technology. Apple.

Graphic representation of both patents:

Many competing Android phones now feature in-display fingerprint scanners, so it's possible that Samsung has similar plans. Apple. The first patent is called "Methods for biometric display of entrance surfaces". A set of acoustic transducers should be built into the display, which would scan the fingerprint at the appropriate moment. In this case, of course, anywhere on the entire display area. While the competition today has a functional fingerprint reader in one specific place on the display, Apple he thinks more practically.

The second patent, titled "Acoustic Imaging System for Spatial Demodulation of Acoustic Waves," describes the same technology in a different way. There would be two rows of sensors in the display. The first would "deform" the surface of the display with an electrical signal, the second would then measure this deformation. The measurement itself would also generate electrical signals that would be recorded by technology that would convert them into an image of the finger.

This is, of course, only a patent that may never be implemented. However, several similar patents that deal with fingerprint reader technology across the entire surface of the display have Apple more. Perhaps, in time, FaceID will also be able to unlock the Apple device with your finger.
