This will allow the company to produce edge-to-edge iPhone model with integrated high-precision tool for biometric identification. The sensor can operate through the curved glass with a 2.5 D effect and is able to distinguish between a real fingerprint from a fake, the publication.

We will remind, earlier in the network have been circulating rumors that the new flagship Apple will not have a hardware Home button and the fingerprint scanner may be integrated on the back cover or the front panel of the smartphone.
