Since Apple abandoned Touch ID with the iPhone X, the company has developed its new facial recognition security system, which it has called Face ID, which is now in the third generation, with improvements in the speed of recognition already the ability to use it both vertically and horizontally with the iPad Pro. But we have already read numerous rumors that the company could again include a fingerprint sensor in your iPhone, and according to Economic Daily News negotiations with Qualcomm are already so advanced that they could start in the next generation, in 2020.
The new fingerprint reader would be integrated under the screen, as some Anmdroid models have already released with greater or lesser success. There are currently two types of sensors, optical and ultrasound, the latter being the most advanced and therefore the one that would be used in the new iPhone. This type of sensor is the one that has been used in the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note 10 with all the controversy about the doubts regarding its safety. al being able to bypass your lock with a simple silicone sleeve. Obviously the iPhone would include a new improved generation in which the security would be superior and in which, in addition, the action surface of the sensor could occupy the entire screen so that wherever we put our finger it would recognize our fingerprint.
The new iPhone would thus coexist with two security mechanisms, a redundant system that some of us do not quite understand, especially those of us who have "embraced" Face ID and do not miss the "old" fingerprint recognition system. As I said a few months ago on our podcast, I am not opposed to the return of Touch ID but not at all costs. If it is to improve the current Face ID, or to give more options to users, welcome, but well done.
