Today, Android's thousand-yuan machine is unlocked with screen fingerprints, and Apple is still using the 2018 bangs screen face recognition, although in 2018, Apple was the first to use face recognition, but it has not changed after so many years. Android began screen fingerprints, side fingerprints, and lifting cameras a few years ago, but Apple is indifferent, and the iPhone14 will not use screen fingerprints even if punched. Why?
1, not in line with apples that pursue a perfect experience
The current screen fingerprint, whether it is a simple optical screen fingerprint, or a complex point of ultrasonic fingerprint, is to be fixed in a place to unlock, so, in the absence of a screen global can be fingerprint unlocked, the screen fingerprint always has to have one more interaction, that is, you have to use your eyes to find the unlock location first, and then you can hold down the unlock. This extra step of interaction is a step backwards in the user experience in the eyes of Apple, which pursues a perfect experience.
2. Waste of money
One of Apple's design templates can be used for several years, when the iPhone X developed the face recognition of the bangs screen, it was indeed immature under the screen fingerprint. After that, even if the fingerprint technology under the screen matures, Apple's bangs design template can still be used, and it does not want to waste money to develop new production lines.
3, do not look back
Screen fingerprint recognition and Apple's current bangs screen face recognition is the same, are biometrics, if you use the same screen fingerprint as Android, it is inevitable that some people will say that Apple's face recognition is defective, Face ID is not secure.
In fact, Apple's Face ID technology is very mature, this is not because of the epidemic people have to wear masks recently, many people complain about Apple face recognition, Apple has urgently added a new unlock option to wear masks on iOS 15.4.
In fact, I also think that Apple does not do off-screen fingerprints because it wants to differentiate, and wants to be different from Android mobile phones, after all, Android and Apple are different in many places, and Apple does not want to give up differentiation on screen unlocking.
Do you think that you want Apple to use off-screen fingerprint unlock?
