Future iPhones might come with this popular Android feature

NEW DELHI: Apple started phasing out its Touch ID with the 2017 10th anniversary phone, the iPhone X. A year later, in all the 2018 iPhones — iPhone XS, iPhones XS Max and iPhone XR — FaceID has become the sole mode of biometric authentication. But it seems like Apple is working on bringing it back as the Cupertino-based tech giant has been granted a patent that will allow users to touch the display of an Apple device for biometric authentication.
According to a report by Patently Apple, the newly granted patent titled “Methods of biometric imaging of input surfaces” comes with an acoustic imaging system that is said to “resolve an image of a fingerprint of a user contacting an input surface of an electronic device by mapping the ridges of the user’s fingerprint to the input surface.”
