Recently, there are whistleblowers on overseas social platforms who say that Apple will no longer develop on-screen fingerprint recognition sensors for iPhones. It is reported that Apple decided in January 2022 to transfer all Touch ID work and resources to face ID's team. And just recently, Apple iOS 15.4 Beta beta allows wearing masks for Face ID unlocking, which also verifies from the side that Apple bets on Face ID unlocking, iPhone is just the beginning, the future mask unlocking Face ID will be popularized to all production lines under Apple (Macbook, iPad and other products).
The reason why Apple chose Face ID and gave up the screen fingerprint unlock, mainly in the principle of security priority, compared to fingerprint unlock is obviously face ID security is stronger in the iOS 15.4 system, Apple added the "wear mask to unlock" function, iPhone 12/13 series models can already rely on the front camera of the deep integration technology to achieve wearing a mask to unlock the iPhone, although the unlocking experience is a little different than not wearing a mask, but the security factor is still very high, Even apps that support payment levels show that Apple is very reassured about the security of wearing masks to unlock.
