It has been quite a geeky day for us! News abounds that Apple will return with Touch ID for its first foldable iPhone. Various tech reports worldwide speculate that there are two different possible implementations for Touch ID. So what is the gist?
What Is the Need to Resurrect Touch ID?
For quite some time now, Face ID has been the main means of unlocking for all of its devices. But, quite a few users feel that Touch ID should still be there, as Face ID has been getting cumbersome to use with the advent of masks.
The implementation of Face ID would not have a smooth transition in terms of design with a foldable phone. So Apple could be on the way of going and implementing Touch ID again.
The Methods of Implementing Such A Feature Would Be
Side-mounted Touch ID sensor:
Many foldable Android phones have a side fingerprint sensor, and it could go this route. Putting the Touch ID sensor with the power button might give it real help in the foldable design.
Under-display Touch ID:
Another option is putting Touch ID under the display. It has been testing out under-display sensors for quite a few years now. It will be quite a bomb if this technology is implemented in the foldable iPhone!
Will the Return of Touch ID Be an Advantage for Apple's Foldable iPhone?
With Apple, every technology is bound to stir the marketplace. If Touch ID really came back to the foldable iPhone, that would become quite a unique selling proposition for an otherwise more mature device in offering its users the complementary aspect of security with sheer convenience.
As of now, nothing has been officially declared from its side, yet the reports sound somewhat credible. If it actually takes the plunge and gets Touch ID for its Foldable iPhone, it would mark an era of modernity wedded to user-friendliness.
