The Revival of Touch ID in the Foldable iPhone
Apple fans have long been missing the Touch ID feature, which was replaced by Face ID in recent iPhone models. The upcoming foldable iPhone is set to bring back Touch ID, albeit in a slightly outdated form. Reports suggest that the foldable iPhone will feature a side-mounted button for Touch ID, a departure from the trend of fingerprint scanners embedded in the display seen in many modern smartphones.
Despite the slightly outdated implementation, the return of Touch ID is likely to be welcomed by consumers who prefer this method of biometric authentication. Apple's decision to opt for a side-mounted button over an in-display scanner is attributed to a desire to simplify the internal components of the foldable iPhone.
While the return of Touch ID is a positive development, the foldable iPhone may lag behind competitors like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in certain aspects. Early leaked specs suggest that Apple's foldable device may not match up to the latest offerings in terms of display technology. However, Apple's strong marketing tactics and loyal fan base are expected to drive significant sales for the foldable iPhone.
