Face recognition is hard to use! Apple has a new iPhone with fingerprint recognition under the screen.

Is fingerprint recognition really going to be completely abandoned by mobile phones? The popularity of full-screen displays seems to have accelerated the demise of fingerprint recognition, but if under-screen fingerprint recognition can be quickly mass-produced and commercialized, perhaps the situation will be different.

The launch of iPhone X has already shown Apple's intention, which is to abandon Touch ID and use Face ID instead. They themselves also said that facial recognition is the future, so it is inevitable that fingerprint recognition will be abandoned.

But the situation seems to be different from what Apple has publicly stated. Now the patent they applied for in 2015 has been approved, which is to realize fingerprint recognition under the OLED screen, and this fingerprint sensor is not fixed in a certain position. Your finger can be recognized and unlocked anywhere on the screen.

There is no doubt that Apple has invested a lot of energy in this technology, so it is possible to promote the under-screen fingerprint technology in the future. Perhaps we can change our perspective and add the under-screen fingerprint to the iPhone next year. Of course, it is only a means to assist Face ID. After all, we have seen that face recognition this year has a slow recognition speed and a high probability of being broken. The improvement of these technologies will take a long time for Apple to strengthen.

In order to control costs, it is possible that flat fingerprints will be used in low-end iPhones in the future. In short, the under-screen fingerprint technology has been almost completely mastered by Apple, and they also have their own factories, so it depends on how to promote it.

At least from the current experience, people prefer under-screen fingerprint recognition rather than face recognition. After all, new technologies need to be developed step by step....
