In many ways, Apple listens to the community and often works behind the scenes on things that fans have been asking for for a long time. The same could be the case with Touch ID, which disappeared from the iPhone several generations ago, but is still present in the watch Apple Watch could find its place. At least according to the latest patent, which describes the way in which the touch sensor could work and effectively serve to unlock the device.

A watch Apple Watch have been one of the best-selling wearable devices for several years in a row, so it's no wonder that the Apple company often draws inspiration from its fans and takes note of the community's observations. The community has been lobbying for its return for a long time. Touch ID, which disappeared from the iPhone a few years ago and has been lying unused in a drawer ever since. Although leaks suggest that we could expect this feature to return with the arrival of the next generation of Apple's phone, it is also likely that it will find its way to other devices. One of them could be Apple Watchfor whom it would be Touch ID as created. Incidentally, the concept also describes the patent with which Apple he recently arrived. The watch could feature an iPhone-like sensor built into the digital crown instead of the home button. All you have to do is place your finger on a predetermined surface and the device will automatically unlock.
The watch would have technology that is capable of reading fingerprints and any specific features of the user. The reader would simply compare the fingerprint with the stored initial image and then confirm or deny access. The principle of operation of the sensor is therefore not much different from Apple's Touch ID used on the iPhone, with the only difference being that in this case the Digital Crown would play a key role. However, it would definitely be a welcome feature that would greatly simplify the entire unlocking process. Now you have to either enter a PIN or unlock your phone first, which automatically activates the Apple Watch. We'll see if Apple will this concept be used in the future, or will it be Touch ID again, we will only see it on the upcoming Apple phone.
