Touch id 2nd generation. What is Touch ID on iPhone and iPad? This is complex software, which can lead to problems

Touch ID - what is it and how to use the technology this question is asked sooner or later by the owners of Apple technology.

Technology Benefits

Among the benefits that Touch ID provides, it should be noted:

• high response speed, due to the minimum number of operations;
• complete confidentiality of important information, access to which can only be obtained by the owner of the device;
• the ability to authorize the user in a number of applications. To date, work with technology is supported by many programs. For example, the 1Password password vault, the DayOne diary service, and the Documents file manager;
• the use of mobile gadgets instead of bank cards when paying for purchases.

Setting up Touch ID

The technology does not provide the user with the ability to quickly enable all its functions - it is not activated on a new, just purchased phone.

And in order to perform the initial setup of a mobile phone or tablet, you must perform certain steps:

1. Wipe the Home button and your fingers to avoid distorting the fingerprints in the process of identifying them;
2. Enter a password that can be used if you can't unlock your device with Touch ID for some reason. The password request occurs 2 days after the last unlock occurred;
3. Picking up the device in the same way as with normal use of a smartphone or tablet, put your finger on the Home button;
4. Keeping your hand in the same position, wait for a slight vibration of the device or a sound, which is a signal that the first stage of setup is completed.

After that, the gadget can only be unlocked by the person who did the setup.

Access can be obtained by bringing the smartphone or tablet out of sleep mode (by pressing one of the buttons on the case) and bringing your finger to the sensor.

Authorization in services

Identification in services and programs using Touch ID is configured as follows:

1. The smartphone (tablet) settings section opens;
2. The item "Touch ID and password" is selected;
3. The sub-item "iTunes Store, App Store" is activated.

After that, the iOS operating system downloads the necessary add-ons to the device and reports the need for additional authorization.

The procedure for fingerprint identification is given separately for each of the applications that will be signed in using Touch ID.

Although it will take less time to set up. By the way, you can read on our site how to distribute the Internet from your phone.

Usage problems

Although the access technology makes them more convenient to use, sometimes there are problems logging into the operating system.

There are only three main reasons for the appearance of problems:

• The pad of your finger or the button itself is dirty. The issue is solved by thorough cleaning of the sensor surface and hands;
• software problems. To avoid them, authorization should be provided using the image of two fingers at once. If this could not be done before the appearance of a malfunction, the situation is corrected by giving the device to the service for flashing;
• factory marriage - the reason is not too frequent, but also occurring. A symptom of the problem is the complete lack of reaction to the touch of a finger on the Home button and the inability to restart the smartphone. In this case, the phone also needs to be taken to a service center.

Rice. 4. A dirty button is one of the reasons for incorrect scanning.

Problems with the settings of the technology are compensated by its capabilities. Such as speed and convenience of work, optimization of payment processes and no need to remember a password. And failures are rare.

How to improve Touch ID

This option has been present in most Apple devices since the seventh generation, but not many users know how to properly configure the technology and solve problems that arise with it.

Features of working with technology

You can prevent problems using Touch ID technology and a biometric sensor by observing certain requirements.

First of all, this concerns the setting of the sensor, which cannot always perceive prints applied at a different angle or incompletely.

The finger should be applied several times, turning it over the surface of the Home button. In addition, the technology allows you to store 5 prints in memory at once.

Therefore, the owner can remember, for example, both thumb and forefinger, and one more - for example, the ring or little finger.

As a result, the efficiency of scanning fingerprints increases by about 1.5 times.

You should also carry out additional settings - the so-called "training" Touch ID:

• Open system security settings;
• Enter user password;
• Apply fingers one by one to the surface of the sensor;
• Perform the procedure several times, thus increasing the accuracy of the scan.

Another way is to intentionally enter the fingerprints at the wrong angles - ones that are unlikely to be used when unlocking.

In this case, you should hold your smartphone or tablet in your hand as naturally as possible, and not trying to get the perfect image of the picture.

In addition, during the Touch ID setup process, you should touch not only the sensor, but also the metal ring.

This also makes it possible to increase the likelihood of recognition of a finger, especially one applied quickly and briefly.

Rice. 5. When setting up the Touch ID option, the smartphone is required to be held naturally

conclusions

The use of Touch ID technology is one of the best ways to protect information - because, unlike a password and even a graphic code, fingerprints cannot be stolen or faked.

And, thanks to the customization features, the user can make logging into the system much more convenient and faster. And subsequently choose devices that also use biometric services with fingerprint verification for access - after all, following Apple, other companies are starting to actively use the technology.

What is Touch ID: features and benefits of using technology

• Smartphone
• EarPods
• USB cable
• SIM ejector
• stickers
• Documentation

We begin to deal with the new iPhone 6S: pink color, context menus for icons and files, updated cameras - there is a long video about the smartphone and video recording in 4K in the text, come read and discuss ...

Design

To get started, here is a video, first look, 42 ​​minutes about the main features of the new iPhone. I think this is not the last video, in the course of use we will shoot something else, later we will add video examples in 4K. In the video, I pronounce the word engine incorrectly, this is a mistake from school, sorry. And there are a few wrong little things there, but, in general, the main points are told and shown.

The letter S now flaunts on the back, previously it was only in the iPhone 3Gs, the rest of the “esks” were unmarked. A beautiful package with a photo, and each color has its own live wallpaper - such an item has appeared in the menu, in the locked state you can click on this wallpaper and it will start moving. Especially for the test, we got a pink device, it looks beautiful, I think the girls will be satisfied. The case is made of a different material, 7000 series aluminum alloy, 60 percent harder, the case has become a little heavier and a little more massive. Dimensions are 138.3 x 7.1 x 67.1 mm, weight - 143 grams. I tried trying on different models of cases for the iPhone 6, almost all of them fit, but some are close, some are better not to use at all. For example, Element Case. When buying, it is better to try it yourself and not believe what is written about compatibility on the network. For example, some covers seem to fit normally, but on the one hand they can move away a little, not completely cover the end.

Alas, they did not get rid of the protruding camera, apparently, this will happen in the iPhone 7 - this will probably be a revolutionary device. Well, the iPhone 6S is perceived in the hands and in use in exactly the same way as a simple "six" - it fits in any pocket, fits well in the hand, it is more convenient than "shovels" with a larger display diagonal. I love the iPhone 6 Plus, but how much more convenient is the iPhone 6 in everyday life. But here is a compromise, or a large screen, or a comfortable case. I choose a screen.

The location of the controls, the SIM tray has not changed, nanoSIM is used.

How the body will show itself in life - we'll see.

Display

Diagonal Retina-display - 4.7 inches, resolution - 1334 x 750 pixels, 326 pixels / inch. Many say: "This is horror, this is HD in 2015." Hmm, why more? After all, photos, videos, applications, browser look great on this display too? That is, you can arrange marketing from scratch, but you can find a balance between performance, operating time and screen quality. It's like walking a tightrope, you always need to keep a balance - Apple keeps it, and that's why millions of people have been voting with their money for the iPhone, and not for other smartphones for many, many years (and the situation has not changed in any way, sales are only growing). Just keep that in mind when your friends tell you something about the "bad" HD in the iPhone 6S.

Touch ID second generation

It works much faster than the sensor in the iPhone 6, it is clearly visible on the video, you just need to touch the pad, and immediately you get to the desktop. You can read more about setting up and using Touch ID.

The bottom line is simple: if you abandoned this feature due to unsatisfactory speed, try Touch ID in the iPhone 6S. Quite another matter.

3D Touch

In short, with a strong press on some icons, an additional menu appears, which makes life much easier, the habit of 3D Touch has appeared even during the hours that I use the 6S. For example, take Shazam, usually you need to launch it, press it to recognize the track, here you immediately go to identification. The pressure level can be adjusted in the menu, compared to the Apple Watch, everything is easier and more understandable, since the screen is larger. When pressed, you get a kind of touch on the finger from the side of the iPhone, a soft vibration - on the watch it really can be called a touch, here too. The Peek and Pop functions work like this. The first one opens a preview, as in OS X, only here you can “preview” a photo or a letter, the second one (press harder) opens the file. They sent you a link in a message, there is also a preview, if you want it, open it in Safari. Everything happens with different pressing force, and it's all very natural.

The work of 3D Touch can be divided into two large parts, these are context menus for icons and work with specific files, previews and actions. In fact, an additional menu for files. Like Touch ID, it saves you extra steps, taps, and saves time.

Not all third-party apps have support yet, but I believe the update will happen quickly, within a month or two, the main players will do their best for iPhone 6S users.

Working 3D Touch with glued glass

It seemed important to me to try this opportunity, many people are used to protecting the display with films or glasses - people from Apple said about films that there would be no problems with work, there was no information about glass. After the glass was glued, I had to press a little harder to call up the context menu, a weak pressure level was selected in the 3D Touch settings. After playing with the settings, I realized that this is the best option if you plan to use glass to protect the screen.

The bottom line is simple: films and glass with the new iPhone 6S can and should be used. Many journalists frown when it comes to this, but I won’t frown - consumers use iPhones sometimes for several years in a row, there are good films on the market, so why not protect the screen? Then it will be easier to sell, and the oleophobic coating will be like new.

Performance

The new A9 processor with 64-bit architecture is used, it is paired with the M9 coprocessor. With the help of the benchmark, measurements were taken, the results are in the screenshots. Observations from life are simple, 6S ​​works much faster than its predecessor - at first it is not very noticeable, but then it is very clear. Websites open faster, maps render faster, apps launch faster.

Front camera and flash

I would like to say that LG has already used the screen as a flash, Apple calls the technology Retina Flash, they tried to take a picture in the dark, it turns out well, the colors are not knocked out, the eyes are not red. In short, the screen just lights up at maximum brightness for a split second, that's all. In clubs, restaurants, bars, and just on the streets at night, this will be in high demand. If you do not take pictures in nightclubs, restaurants and bars, then it's too early for you to think, discuss the iPhone 6S, go do your homework, and then go to bed.

Main camera

One of the main changes has affected the camera, now a 12 MP sensor, True Tone Flash, HDR support and automatic HDR mode, focusing while shooting video by tapping on the display, panoramas - in general, everything is familiar. For now, I can suggest you compare the photos taken on the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 Plus. It’s a little dishonest, different smartphones, the “plus” has optical stabilization, but that’s what makes it more curious. We will add more examples of shots to the review, more comparative shots with modern devices.

Photo examples

iPhone 6S	iPhone 6 Plus

Shooting 4K video (3840 x 2160 pixels, 30 frames per second) must be enabled in the settings, while shooting a video, you can take photos, the option appeared in the iPhone 5S, and many people forget about it. Do not forget. You can evaluate the quality of 4K in this video, we will add more examples to our channel in the near future.

It's very interesting to see how the iPhone 6S Plus shoots, but, in general, I'm satisfied with the quality on a simple 6 Plus. I am not a professional photographer, no settings are needed, you need to get a normal result the first time, the device allows you to do this. Apparently, the 6S Plus will do it even better, well, great.

Live Photo

Apple talks about a miracle, when this mode is on, you can click on a photo and it will come to life for three seconds. As far as I know, this was already in the smartphones of other companies, now it has appeared in Apple. It looks very cool, but there is one caveat. When I was transferring photos from the iPhone 6S, I saw that with Live Photo turned on, the smartphone takes a picture and immediately shoots a 3-second video in MOV format. Each video weighs about 3.2 MB, photos from the new camera are from 1.7 to 6.9 MB (!). Approximately the same size is obtained on my NEX-6, only here the camera, not a smartphone. Now imagine, every time you take a photo, a video also appears in your memory. In the gallery, you only see a snapshot, you can click on it and see a Live Photo, put it on the splash screen - but I immediately had a desire to turn off the function to save space. Fortunately, you can do this right on the shooting screen. And it’s a pity that you can’t quickly switch the video recording quality on the shooting screen, for this you have to go into the settings, which is not an easy task.

Memory

Three versions, 16, 64 and 128 GB. The 16 GB version can only be bought as a gift to the enemy, I don’t know why Apple left this stupid version. The size of one minute of video in 4K is more than 300 MB, the pictures from the new camera also “weigh” more, so if you decide to buy 6S, look at least for the 64 GB version.

On the other hand, there are a lot of people who use the iPhone as a “dialer”, so 16 GB is enough for them - I constantly use the camera, another person will shoot something once a week, and that's it. And anyway, even if this is a “dialer” for you, take a better model with 64 GB. Suddenly you decide to play games, but the size of modern applications for iOS is quite an adult, there have long been programs larger than 1 GB.

And don't forget that you need to turn off Live Photo if you're using the 16GB version. Or enable the function from time to time.

Working hours

Claimed battery life - 14 hours of talk time in the 3G network, 11 hours of video playback, 50 hours of music playback. It is clear that all this is approximate, compared to the iPhone 6, the operating time has not changed. Depending on the load, you will have to put the device on charge either at night or in the evening - at the beginning of the month I was forced to go with the “six” and after the iPhone 6 Plus I was surprised how quickly the battery drains here with active use. Earlier it was possible to talk about the superiority of iOS over Android in this parameter, now I will suggest that you stock up on an external battery or have a charger on hand.

LTE

Using the Speed ​​Test program, we compared the speed on the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 Plus, one place (near the Novodevichy Convent), the Beeline operator, the maximum for 6 Plus is 52 Mbps, 6S managed to get 61 Mbps. There is a difference in reception, it cannot be demonstrated, the device simply clings to networks better. The official website says that it is possible to use the Internet during a call, which, of course, some other modern devices also have.

conclusions

Now the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus modification are sold in millions of copies, the main markets for the device are the United States and now also China (the pink version and the ability to take advanced selfies will surely appeal to the Chinese). In Russia, both smartphones will appear on official sale in early October, the gap from other countries is minimal, which greatly hinders the gray market - for those who brought devices in suitcases for resale, the conditions are also not the best, a lot of devices diverge on pre-orders online. Some say that the former charm has disappeared somewhere, kilometer-long queues remain, but there is no emphasis on this, as before. It seems to me that the excitement is not subsiding, it's just that for people this is becoming a familiar autumn entertainment. Most importantly, sales are growing. Apple is unlikely to move away from the traditional scheme in the coming years, when the main device comes out, then the S version - why change what works well? After all, sales are not growing from scratch, it is very difficult to deceive the current audience, and if you buy an iPhone 6S after the iPhone 6, you will definitely not be disappointed. In a nutshell, here's what's new in the iPhone 6S. The Plus version is distinguished by the presence of optical stabilization, a different display, I will devote a separate material to it.

• A 3D Touch enabled display is clearly what all the leading companies will be using in their flagships this year and next. It's not about display resolution, it's not about processor speed, it's about a whole new way to communicate with a mobile device - 3D Touch saves you time, and that's the main thing. With the development of software, we will see other context menus, maybe even widgets and who knows what else. So far, this is only the first step, but a step in the right direction.
• New alloy (and, in fact, a new case) - less damage when dropped. It's frankly a pity for devices that get into all sorts of idiotic crash tests, but I think the 6S will be even more reliable than the "six". After a year of use, my 6 Plus has a lot of marks, and it will be interesting to compare how the 6S performs.
• Body color pink. For girls, this is definitely not a trifle and a reason to change the old device to a new one. Consumer loans, loans from friends, and so on will be used - for sure, there will also be interchangeable non-original cases in this color.
• Advanced front camera with original selfie flash. Checked, even in dark conditions, decent photos are obtained. And here again, it's not about the quality of the photo, not about the number of MPs, but about life - how often in a club or in a restaurant did you try to take a selfie and it turned out to be nonsense? Due to the flash - display 6S can take normal pictures in terms of quality, it's worth a lot. Especially for youth.
• Shooting video in 4K. As has already happened, it is Apple that will introduce users to such an opportunity - we recall FaceTime, Touch ID, and at least LTE. After all, they remembered about LTE in smartphones when the question arose whether LTE works in the iPhone 5 in Russia, in what versions, with which operators, they talked about it on TV, until that moment LTE was not particularly interested in anyone. This is where a strange trick can happen, many will remember 4K as a feature of the new iPhone, as if there was no such thing in Sony, Samsung and so on. It's all about the mass of the product. Well, even in the brand itself - all the best in the world was invented by Apple, and go and prove the opposite to a simple consumer.
• Accelerated Touch ID. Faster than the first version, which means that many people who did not use Touch ID will start using it. Works very fast, you just need to touch.
• Improved main camera.
• The function of "live photos" is interesting, but Live Photo mercilessly eats the device's memory.
• Improved performance is the least of the consumer concerns, judging by the reviews, but it is this feature that makes the S version better than the rest, the new processor and co-processor allows the device to do all the new tricks. Almost twice as fast, more RAM, which is good.

It must be understood that iPhone owners usually do not consider buying devices from other brands, it’s not about narrow-mindedness and not frenzied fanaticism, many are kept by the ecosystem as a whole, others like certain functions. I use PS4 and Xbox, iOS and Android devices, trying to take the best of all worlds to use in my daily activities. Accordingly, iPhone owners will sooner or later switch to 6S, but when is it worth doing? You can imagine the prices in Russia yourself, the iPhone 6S Plus with 128 GB memory will cost around 80,000 rubles. Maybe Apple will be lenient, maybe not. By the way, there are rumors that the company, in order to compensate for high prices, went to increase the warranty period, if suddenly the device breaks down through no fault of yours in the second year of use, it will be repaired for free. I'm checking this information, I'll unsubscribe. So - when to buy iPhone 6S? At any level of income, if your iPhone suits you, you can safely reach the iPhone 7. Just 3D Touch will be used to the maximum, iOS 9 will just be completed, and it will probably be a very interesting glass and metal tile. If you have an iPhone 5S, it's a good reason to upgrade to a 6S, and so do many people, and from a consumer standpoint, that's true.

But there is one more nuance here, it is impossible not to tell a regular iPhone user to other iPhone users. Are you bored? Want a new toy? Didn't like 3D Touch and other options? The world is big, the world is huge, and there are amazing things in it - like the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. A very beautiful thing, and if the “iPhones” are completely disappointed, you can and even need to try it.

As for me. As a real fan, I appreciated all the features in the iPhone 6S and will be moving to 6S Plus. I really like 3D Touch, I constantly drop my phone, and the new alloy can help here, I shoot a lot - I want to try the camera, I will shoot 4K video, I'm also pleased with the speed of work. For me, the update is very successful, well done Apple. The updated iOS 9 works well for me and on 6 Plus (it was updated in 4 hours without problems and failures on the first day, as the update appeared), here everything is smoother and faster. If you can afford to buy 6S now - feel free to buy, you won't regret it. And answer the question “what do you have, S or simple?” now it is very easy, just turn the smartphone with the letter S to the interlocutor.

It is a pity that the letter is small and not visible to everyone around for a couple of tens of meters.

In all current iPhone models, you can find such a function as Touch ID. Many do not use it and do not even know what it is at all.

Therefore, today I will tell you why you need to use Touch ID on your iPhone and what it does in general. The article will be very short, but interesting.

Touch ID on iPhone

I would like to start the history of this feature with the fact that it appeared back in 2013 along with the legendary iPhone 5S. Then the letter S meant "Security", which was implemented using the touch ID.

How many memes then went that now iPhones will be stolen along with fingers. However, many years later, everyone adores him.

touch ID is a fingerprint scanner in Apple devices, which is built right into the Home button. With it, most often you can unlock your smartphone or make purchases.

In the first models, the technology was crude and broke quite often. And the big minus is that changing it is not so easy, because the button is tied to the device's processor.

Of the global advantages of using, we can name the following advantages:

• the security of your data after the device is lost;
• quick unlock device;
• convenient to make purchases in any store.

Today we have this technology in version 2.0 and many cannot even imagine their lives without it. After all, it is so convenient and quickly you can unlock your gadget.

How to set up Touch ID on iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, 6 PLUS, 6S PLUS, SE, 7, 7 PLUS?

Many people think that setting up Touch ID on an iPhone or iPad is super complicated. But you should not be afraid of this and now we will consider the whole process as a whole.


To begin with, even if you have an old iPhone 5S, then it also makes sense to do this procedure on it. Therefore, let's get started:

1. go to Settings — Touch ID and passcode;
2. see Add fingerprint and bring the desired finger to the Home button;
3. when the scan is completed, then we do the same procedure, only with the edges.

Now the fingerprint has been added and you can add as many fingers as you need. Most of the time, three is enough. After all, you can cut yourself and so on, but do not forget that there is a password.

In the same menu of this function, you can choose what exactly you want to use this functionality for. There are really only two options:

• iPhone unlock;
• iTunes Store and App Store.

This is purely your preference. If the first item should be the default, then the second is really on demand. The second item may be useful for paid games, so as not to enter a password.

conclusions

As you can see, the Touch ID feature is not so scary. Now you know what it is for in your device and what it is.

As for the settings, everything is also simple. Usually Apple tries to simplify the process as much as possible, so you can always find a bunch of tips on what exactly needs to be done and in what order.

Apple provides users of its equipment with a large number of features designed to ensure complete security and protect the device from intrusion into it by unwanted persons. One such add-on is Touch ID.

What is TouchID

Touch ID is a password that can be set to unlock the device or to access certain applications. Unlike previously existing passwords, which were a combination of numbers or a key character, Touch ID checks the fingerprints of the person trying to unlock the phone or tablet and compares them with the fingerprints stored in the device's memory. If they match, then the unlock is successful, but if Touch ID suspects that the device is being hacked, it will go into lock mode. The user has three attempts to prove their identity with unique fingerprints.

The advantage of this technology is that it is the most reliable way to block access to your device or individual programs. If the phone or tablet is stolen, it will be very difficult for an attacker to get it out of the lock state.

Touch ID first appeared on the iPhone 5S and is present on all subsequent phone models. This technology is also available on iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3.

How to enable, disable and set up Touch ID on iPhone

Before activating Touch ID, it is recommended to restart the device, close all applications and wash your hands, since the first time you turn it on, you will need to add fingerprints, and if they are fuzzy, then in the future there may be problems with unlocking the device.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go to the "Touch ID and passcode" section.
3. Click the "Add fingerprint" button. Detailed instructions for adding a fingerprint will appear on the device screen. It will be necessary to put a finger several times, raising and lowering it at the right time. Take the device the way you would normally hold it. Don't put your finger straight or at a certain angle, put it on the Home button the way you most often put it in everyday use.
4. If it seems to you that the print turned out to be inaccurate, then find it in the "Footprints" block and swipe it from right to left. A Delete button will appear, which you must click to erase the fingerprint.
5. You can click on the name of the received print to set any other name.
6. Now we will activate the "Unlock iPhone" function if you want the device to be unlocked only after touching it with a finger.
7. Turn on the "iTunes Store, App Store" feature if you want your fingerprint to be required when entering the store.
8. If you want to disable Touch ID technology on your device, then deactivate the above two features.

What to do if a feature stops working or crashes

Some users experience problems immediately after turning on Touch ID, and some after a few days or months. The problem may be as follows: Touch ID does not work, stopped working, does not work the first time, does not work correctly. To get rid of all the above problems, you need to follow these steps:

1. Reboot the device by holding the "Lock" and "Home" buttons at the same time for 8-10 seconds.
2. Open the Settings app.
3. Go to the "Touch ID and passcode" section.
4. Delete all existing prints. To do this, first click on the name or fingerprint number.
5. In the tab that opens, click the "Delete fingerprint" button. Repeat this operation for all prints.
6. Click the Add Fingerprint button. Follow all the instructions that appear on the screen of the device: remove and attach your finger again, lean the tip or middle of your finger, rotate, and others. Repeat this process with each finger.

What to do if the fingerprint scanner is not working - video

If restoring fingerprints did not fix your Touch ID issues, you should take your device to a service center to get advice from a qualified technician and possibly send the device in for repair, as the reason is most likely in the phone or tablet. If you hacked the firmware of your device using Jailbreak, then this may be the reason. Also, the reason may be in the IOS version, you need to install the latest firmware on your device in order for Touch ID to work correctly.

The Touch ID identification system is based on a fingerprint scanner and allows you to securely protect personal data. This feature is currently supported by iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3.

Despite the fact that Face ID is perhaps the most technologically advanced and at the same time convenient authorization method that a smartphone can be equipped with, many users still shed tears over. Most of them consider fingerprinting a more convenient method of identity verification due to the need to make sure to keep the iPhone with Face ID strictly in front of you, while the fingerprint scanner, as a rule, forgives any, not even the most successful capture. However, Apple's face recognition technology has another drawback that catches the eye from the first second you get to know it.

When Apple replaced Touch ID with Face ID in its flagship iPhones, many users could not believe for a long time that such a convenient and intuitive verification method was so easily abandoned. However, over time, even the most zealous opponents of face recognition technology developed a habit, and those who still dream of the return of fingerprinting are practically gone. However, recently there have been rumors that Apple plans to return Touch ID to the flagship iPhone, which will be built right into the display.

Apple rarely goes back to using old technologies that it once abandoned. Such situations can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but almost all of them involved experimental products. In my memory, there was only one such case. This, of course, is about the MacBook Pro 16 ”, which received a keyboard with a scissor mechanism, which Apple abandoned five years ago. However, the previously used “butterfly” turned out to be so unreliable that Cupertino decided that it would be better this way. Against this background, the planned return to use, albeit in a slightly different form than before, looks rather unusual, but quite expected.

I, in general, am not the most envious person, but sometimes I also want to enjoy fresh iOS updates as sincerely as others do. My interest in updates was taken away by iOS 7, which turned my iPad mini from a lightning-fast tablet into a lagging something. Since then, I have changed more than one device, but the fear of breaking what was already working properly by installing updates still lives in me, and therefore you will never meet me in line for fresh versions of iOS. confirmed that my position is not unfounded.

Despite the fact that Apple rarely directly asks its users about what they expect from the company's future products, you cannot accuse it of being uninformed or lagging behind trends. In Cupertino, every now and then they conduct all kinds of research, the result of which is an exact hit on the target. So it was with the Apple Watch, whose success, and even with the iPhone XR, which, although it came out quite a compromise, in the end. The love of users for Touch ID has not gone unnoticed.
