A feature that Apple fans have been waiting for may be coming to iPhone and Apple Watch, a new patent suggests.
Well, this is all very exciting, even if the other reports suggest we’ve time to wait before we see this kind of Touch ID on the iPhone. And the patent even mentioned that the technology wasn’t just restricted to phone screens and could be used in a wearable device, such as, presumably, an Apple Watch.And, on the same day, Apple also published another patent, with related news. And it’s also pretty cool.
It’s called “Detecting a gesture made by a person wearing a wearable electronic device” and as you read through it, it suddenly says, “The display may also provide an input surface for one or more input devices, such as, for example, a touch sensing device and/or a fingerprint sensor.
In other words, we may have to wait a while before under-screen sensors make it to Apple products, but it seems likely they’re on their way. Who knows, maybe the Apple Watch will have under-screen Touch ID first.
