Apple to Ditch Fingerprint Recognition and Fully Embrace Face ID for Upcoming iPhones.

【Mobile China News】Recently, a Weibo blogger said that Apple has closed the production equipment used for producing and enabling Touch ID, and the last batch of Touch ID components have been used in the third generation iPhone SE, which will be launched in 2022. This means that Apple may not introduce models with Touch ID in future iPhones.

Apple Touch ID

Apple’s Touch ID technology first appeared on the iPhone 5s in 2013 and was once one of the iconic features of the iPhone. However, with the release of the iPhone X, Apple introduced face recognition technology – Face ID – claiming it to be more secure and convenient than fingerprint recognition. Since then, Apple has gradually phased out Touch ID and only retained the feature on some low-end and mid-range iPhones and iPads.

• Unbeatable in its class! Redmi K70 series appearance revealed, adopting rectangular metal frame.
• Google Pixel 8 series exposed quality issues, users claim the screen has a bulge.

It is reported that Apple will adopt a full-screen design and equip Face ID for the fourth generation iPhone SE, instead of developing an under-display fingerprint sensor like most Android manufacturers. In addition, Apple is also researching solutions for under-display Face ID, but there is no concrete information on this yet.

The reasons why Apple has abandoned fingerprint recognition technology may include costs, design, user experience, and security. Some analysts believe that Apple wants to provide users with a consistent and simple unlocking method, rather than having users use different methods on different devices. Additionally, Apple may also believe that face recognition technology is mature and reliable enough, eliminating the need to provide fingerprint recognition as an alternative solution.
