Exposed Apple's abandonment of iPhone under-screen fingerprint technology: fully develop under-screen Face ID technology

Starting from 2020, under the influence of the global epidemic, many iPhone users are troubled by Apple's only support for facial recognition, because Face ID cannot be unlocked in the case of wearing a mask, and users need to undo the mask or wait for the iPhone to jump out of the password window. More and more users hope that the next generation of iPhones can bring screen fingerprint recognition technology, but the latest revelations have brought disappointing news.

According to foreign media iDROPNEWS, the whistleblower Leiks ApplePro said that after several conversations with a related person who did not want to be named, he confirmed that Apple engineers will no longer develop screen fingerprint recognition functions for the iPhone. In addition, all the personnel and resources related to the original Touch ID project have been transferred to the Face ID project team, and the next step will be to increase efforts to develop a new unlocking solution.

According to industry analysts, Apple's new unlocking scheme is the under-screen Face ID technology, Apple wants to achieve a true full-screen iPhone, while retaining face recognition technology, the best solution is to use the face ID technology under the screen.

Combined with the current iPhone 14 breaking information, the iPhone is working hard to remove the notch structure, iPhone 14Pro using the "exclamation point" digging screen is a signal, such a structure is not particularly beautiful, but it does effectively improve the screen ratio and achieve de-bangs, can also be seen as Apple in the realization of no bangs structure (iPhone 15 series) before a transitional stage.

Moreover, Apple will also launch the official version of iOS 15.4 in the next step, and some models will be able to support Face ID recognition unlocking in the case of wearing masks, and the user's experience of using Face ID will be improved. If this function can reach a relatively high level of experience in the future, this will become a good preparation for Apple to launch face ID under the screen in the future, and in this case, the screen fingerprint unlock function will no longer be the best solution when wearing a mask.

Earlier, Apple's well-known analyst Guo Mingxi once mentioned that this year's high-end series of iPhones (referring to the iPhone 14Pro series) will cancel the bangs structure and change to a digging design. Because the information disclosed by the analyst in previous years is extremely accurate, many netizens have believed that the iPhone 14Pro series will use a digging design, and this signal also indicates that Apple has taken a big step in the direction of removing the bangs structure.

But to achieve a real full screen structure, and retain the current Face ID technology, the best solution is the screen Face ID technology, the reason why Apple abandoned the screen fingerprint recognition research and development, the biggest reason should be because face ID research and development has been upgraded to support the unlocking of the mask wearing scene, so Apple chose to continue to expand the advantages brought by Face ID, rather than continuing to work on the screen fingerprint function that has not yet been released.

In addition, iPhone 14Pro also sent out a new revelation, the news said that iPhone 14Pro in addition to the use of hole screen design, will also run memory to a new high of 8GB running, based on the current 6GB storage of the iPhone 13Pro series of powerful performance experience, upgraded to 8GB storage of the iPhone 14Pro series will bring more excellent performance, it is worth looking forward to.
