iPhone 12 is going to bring back Touch ID in the Apple line of phones, something that many of those who use Face ID have asked for, but something that some don't even want to have in their phones any time soon. Regardless of what the world wants, the Apple company wants to bring back Touch ID in the phones of the iPhone 12 series, but we are talking about a fingerprint reader integrated into the phone screen and not in any special button in the case.
iPhone 12 is being tested right now by those from Apple, and by partners from Cupertino, with Touch ID integrated into the screen, but with a different implementation than that of current Android phones. More precisely, Apple wants to implement in the iPhone 12 a new type of fingerprint reader that will have a scanning area that includes a good part of the lower area of the screen, so it will be easier to use.
iPhone 12 Brings back Touch ID in Apple Phones
In the current models of Android phones, it is necessary to place the finger on a certain small area of the screen to read the fingerprint, but the iPhone 12 will solve this problem thanks to a new technology. Of course, the iPhone 12 will also use an ultrasonic fingerprint reader to provide the functionality, only that a new type of screen will allow scanning over a larger area than in the case of current Android phone models on the market.
"Apple Inc. has been developing in-screen fingerprint technology since its 2020 iPhones. The technology is in testing both internally at Apple and among the company's overseas suppliers, though the timeline for its release may miss the 2021 iPhone update. The next reader of The fingerprint would be built into the screen, allowing the user to scan their fingerprint across a large portion of the display, and would work in tandem with the existing Face ID system."
It is interesting that Apple does not want to remove Face ID from its phones, but to offer both biometric security solutions, the Americans wanting to offer the technology in the course of 2020. If it will not be sufficiently well prepared for implementation in the iPhone 12, that is 2020, then Apple may decide to postpone its launch to 2021, but everything depends on how the development process will proceed.
Having said that, the iPhone 12 would finally bring a technology that has been offered in Android phones since last year, but everything depends on how well it will be prepared to actually be offered.
