REPORT: Apple Is Bringing Back TouchID On New iPhones

The upcoming iPhone is mixing the new with the tried and true methods. TouchID is set to return to the handheld screen and fast wireless charging is rumored to be available for the new iPhone X Plus devices according to new leaks.


TouchID will be new and improved, at least as patent application number 20180225498 describes. Filed by Apple, the document details a plan for multiple cameras set under the display to assist in the 3D structure fingerprint authentication. This could potentially mean iPhone users could touch anywhere on the screen to get access.

The latest identification feature, FaceID will still be available, too. Options are always a good thing.

To justify the increased price and size the iPhone X Plus, reports say Apple is looking for some distinguished changes. Wireless charging could be coming with the next iPhone unveil in order to compensate.
