iPhone 8 is the most anticipated smartphone of the year. So many rumors and assumptions on the Network no one other mobile gadget. Perhaps the most discussion evokes a fingerprint scanner for the upcoming flagship. Will Apple implement innovative technology by embedding biometric module in a display panel of the iPhone 8, or it will be forced to move the sensor to the rear panel? In fact, the Corporation from Cupertino have every opportunity to implement Touch ID into the screen of the future smartphone, and here’s why.
Even in 2015, Qualcomm has introduced a technology called Snapdragon Sense ID. While the current iPhone and most modern scanners use capacitive fingerprints modules, in the Sense of ID involves the use of ultrasonic waves to create a surface map of the finger. We are talking about ultrasonic technology fingerprint identification.
Fingerprint sensor not only captures the unique patterns on your fingertips, but also creates a detailed 3D model of the upper layers of the skin, which significantly improves the reliability of the verification and minimizes the possibility of successful forgery of the print. The sensor is also able to recognize the imprint of a wet or dirty finger.
The main feature of the Sense ID is that directly the biometric module can be inside a smartphone. For example, under the screen. The point is that the sensor does not hamper display or protective glass of the smartphone. Thus there is no need to integrate a capacitive scanner, mechanical button, or place one on the back of the device.
Sense ID technology is designed to finally bring to life the idea of fingerprint scanning through the entire display of the mobile device, instead of using separate keys. In the early years there were rumors about what Apple uses the work of Qualcomm to create your own improved fingerprint scanner. The company was to dramatically upgrade the range once every three years. Thus, in 2017 we can expect a smartphone with a radically new technology.
In the two years since the announcement Sense ID it is likely able to reach the required level to be used in anniversary iPhone 8.
