Although increasingly abandoned in favor of Face ID, Touch ID, Apple’s digital recognition technology, still has avid admirers. While it was rumored that the Cupertino company would study a Touch ID under the screen, experts seem to confirm that such a system is no longer relevant on high-end Apple devices.

Digital recognition, on both iOS and Android, has changed the uses of telephony. We are now used to turning on our smartphones by placing a finger on a sensorinstead of pressing a button and dialing a code. With Face ID, Apple thought it had found an even faster and more secure technology to replace Touch ID, but for various reasons, fingerprint recognition is still preferred by some users. The Apple brand once thought of offering an under-screen Touch ID system in its high-end smartphones, but according to Bloomberg reporters, the idea is abandoned.
The debate is open: which Touch ID or Face ID is the fastest and most secure unlocking technology for Apple devices? Opinions are divided on social networks. According to this member of AppleInsider, Face ID is faster, more secure and easier to use from iPhoneX. Another participant adds that since the end of the mandatory use of the mask, the need to undergo digital recognition has disappeared.
Touch ID won’t return until iPhone 17
Others claim that facial recognition is not always reliable, sometimes you have to try multiple times to use the phone. Digital recognition has improved e it doesn’t require that much attention. Other users note that the use of Touch ID technology remains appropriate on computers (under macOS or Windows): it remains much more reliable and less expensive to implement on these types of devices. Bloomberg therefore confirms the predictions of Ming Chi Kuo, the main supply chain expert at Apple: Touch ID will not return to the iPhone in a few years. We will therefore have to wait until 2025 to see Touch ID under the screen of the iPhone 17.
The decision is certainly understandable, but somewhat surprising when you know that the Samsung Galaxy S22, the OnePlus 10 Pro and the other Xiami 12 Pro, in short, the flagship of competing brands, integrate this technology to the delight of their users. That said, the Touch ID capacitive sensor remains less expensive to manufacture and implement, which is why according to experts, Apple’s iPhone SE range or 10th generation iPad should continue to offer this type of unlock. .
