touch ID it is the company system Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), which allows us to secure iPhone and iPads using a fingerprint, and after multiple rumors regarding the implementation in Macs, now we have a first supposed confirmation. According to a website that in the past had valid information about the products Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), unreleased, macbook air, MacBook Pro, Magic Mouse si Magic Trackpad it would benefit from Touch ID. The fingerprint reader would be integrated near the touch sensors of all these Apple products, but considering the complexity of the implementation, the information should be viewed with a little distrust.
Implementation of Touch ID in iDevices allowed him to the Apple company to provide the possibility to secure the products and to authorize payments, downloads, accessing information through applications and many others. The implementation in Macs will provide an extremely effective security system for users, many of those who now own a Mac have already requested this since 2013. Using Touch ID in Macs and their dedicated peripherals will allow them including users to protect their purchases from the Mac App Store or data from OS X applications, the idea itself being extraordinarily good.
The main problem for offering this system lies in the space available for including the fingerprint reader in all the previously mentioned products. In Macs there is little space around the touchpad to implement a fingerprint reader, while in the case of the Magic Mouse things are even more complicated. If Apple manages to implement a fingerprint reader in all these products, then we are talking about a real achievement for those from Cupertino, but not necessarily about an innovation, considering that the products of competing companies have such functions available for some time.
