If you hate apple's face id in a world where we cover our faces there is hope for the return of touch id in an iPhone apple's latest iPad air.
I am over face id since it launched with iPhone 10 this use your face to unlock your iPhone feature has always been temperamental and frankly it's also a bit judgmental oh I'm sorry this morning my face is not good enough for you. iPhone it', finicky when you use it in bed or when you're multitasking or snacking or yawning you must look at it straightforward perfectly at all times listen. I did a whole review of this and reported on all the apple tips to do it right and yet even still I find myself entering a password half the time the movement to drop touch id and the home button was so phone screens could use all of that real estate in the front without a button in the way and face id is supposed to be even more secure because it is harder to mimic a face but now in this pandemic life it is especially useless when trying to unlock my phone quickly when I'm in a store or for pain with apple pay at the register because we need to be covering the face and no you do not just take off your mask that defeats the whole purpose of protecting you from an airborne virus.
I rather just pull out my credit card it's no difference for time-saving the feature might as well not exist but wait it turns out Apple has been working on something that can bring back the glory of using a fingerprint to unlock phones the new iPad air instead puts the touch id fingerprint scanner in a flat and long power button there is no face id in the new iPad air now unlocking with a side-mounted fingerprint reader is such a good idea that almost every other major phone maker has been doing this already yeah it's good to see Apple join the party android phones that use fingerprints for secure payments are frankly a step above apple for the convenience.
Did you read it? iPhone 12 - GET READY! 12 Model for 2021
I know what you're thinking oh but Bridgette why are you gonna change the whole design of an iPhone just for this blip of a year, the mask life isn't going away anytime soon pandemic experts say we won't be in the clear until at least 2022 and we're going to be living with masks in some form or another for several years there's always potential too for another mystery virus in the future that has us covering up again but fine fine fine we don't have to completely abandon face id technology let's have both why not both right now when face id fails you have to enter in a password let's make it so you can use the fingerprint scanner as the second option uh but the question will it actually happen to have it in the latest iPad air is a good sign and Apple has been thinking about it and it might be ready in time for the iPhone 12. by focusing on all this technology for a new button that has a custom sensor with a sapphire crystal top.
Why would you do all that work and not bring it to other devices we won't know for sure until Apple holds an event to announce the iPhone 12 and that's expected to be sometime in October for iPhone users that are on the fence about upgrading because it may not seem necessary to upgrade phone in the middle of a pandemic it sure would be an interesting twist for apple to say hey here's a phone that gives you a better experience with or without masks.
