The iPhone 11 could produce Touch ID, with a big twist
Apple's latest range of iPhones, the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, all use Face ID to unlock unlike modern smartphones that use fingerprint sensors. However, the iPhone 11 could also use Touch ID, with a big-tasting touch. According to the discovered patents, the company is working on a new type of in-display fingerprint sensor that will allow you to place your finger anywhere on the screen to unlock your phone, instead of placing it on the same spot as the screen. most phones. require. The Touch ID system works by "acoustic imaging". Therefore, the waves emitted under the phone screen recognize your fingerprint wherever you place it. This means that instead of having to place your finger in a particular place, as with most in-display fingerprint sensors, you can place your finger anywhere, anytime, anywhere. Either on the top of the screen or on the sides, and the waves will still meet you. they were trying to unlock his phone. If this system were to be used, it could really speed up your access to your phones and make opening your device much more natural. Interestingly, the patent also notes that the system could work for your ear, but we don't yet sell the idea of ​​ear identification in any products. This can likely be integrated with a system that unlocks your phone when you're in communication, but we're having trouble coming up with solutions that might help.
