Apple canceled the development of screen fingerprint recognition

Touch ID may be the tears of the iPhone era.

Some people broke the news that Apple will officially abandon the function of developing fingerprints under the screen, and transfer the previous Touch ID work and resources to the Face ID team. In addition, the whistleblower also said that Apple has been developing fingerprint recognition under the screen for many years, but face recognition seems to be the way of the future.

Combined with the iOS 15.4 beta version launched by Apple, it has been able to support face recognition in the case of wearing masks, and face recognition is expected to be a major trend of Apple's product recognition function.

After the cancellation of the research and development of the under-screen fingerprint function, the whistleblower also revealed a little information: Apple is studying the face ID sensor under the screen, but considering the way most of the under-screen cameras are, the current quality may not reach the standard of the iPhone.

Once the face ID sensor under the screen is used for the iPhone, it will also mean that the "bang screen" on the current Apple phone will be canceled. For now, the iPhone 15 Pro may be the first Apple phone to remove this design, but it will not be revealed until next September.

It is reported that in recent years, only the iPhone SE series of new mobile phones still support fingerprint unlocking, and it seems that Touch ID is slowly becoming Apple's "antique feature".
