Apple Vice President Steve Hothlin to Retire, who invented Touch ID

Apple's Touch ID Inventor and Vice President, Steve Hothlin, Announces Retirement

【Mobile China News】On December 7th, Mobile China learned that Apple’s Vice President, Steve Horland, will retire. He is the inventor of the iPhone screen and Touch ID. Touch ID is a fingerprint recognition sensor used by Apple in its computers (MacBook series) and mobile devices (non-full-screen iPhones and iPads). Users can input their fingerprint information into Touch ID to unlock their phones, verify accounts, make Apple Pay payments, and other security functions.

Touch ID provides users with stronger protection for more convenient operations and services. When users want to use their smart devices, they only need to perform Touch ID fingerprint authentication on the screen to quickly unlock the phone and other applications.

It is worth mentioning that after four months, as of the close of Tuesday’s US stock market, Apple’s stock price rose by 2.11% to reach a four-month high of $193.42, with a market value exceeding $3 trillion. Data from Dow Jones Market Data showed that this is the first time since August 3rd that the company’s market value has exceeded $3 trillion.

This milestone can also be seen as a symbol of Apple’s enduring strength. Investors see Apple as a fortress, with abundant cash flow, the world’s most popular products, and a strong shareholder return plan, despite the company’s efforts to address a series of problems such as slowing growth.

So far, Apple’s stock price has risen by 54.65% in 2023 and is expected to achieve its best annual performance since 2020 when the stock price rose by 81%.
