The new iPhone will unlock the face - not an iris scanner

Apple plans to replace fingerprint scanning technology with something much more interesting. According to reports, the new Apple iPhone 8 will quickly and with high precision recognized the face of his user.

The iris reader of the Samsung Galaxy S8 + tested by me was excellent, even in total darkness. Unfortunately, to unlock the device in this way you need to set the reader accordingly to the eyes, which takes up a little more time than using a fingerprint reader. It looks like Apple is working on a faster and safer way to unlock your device - it's about scanning your face.

The new way of identifying a user who is already present in this year's iPhone 8 is to allow the device to be unlocked, to authorize payments, and to access pre-secured applications. A new 3D sensor has been introduced to recognize the face, with the main advantage being the recognition time of several hundred milliseconds. The engineers responsible for its creation were told that the reader will recognize the face even when the smartphone rests on a flat surface, and the user will only be over it tilted over.

It would make sense that Apple would then be able to get rid of the device and make room for the device screen to actually occupy almost the entire front panel of the smartphone, similarly as it was shown on the renderings we wrote about a few days ago. . The new solution still does not rule out that the iPhone 8 will have a fingerprint reader located below the surface of the screen. In the end, such technology already exists and was presented to Qualcomm.
