New iPhone will upgrade fingerprint module: less mistakes and more secure

On the morning of February 11, 2015, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported that the next generation iPhone will have an upgraded Touch ID fingerprint recognition module, which will greatly reduce the chance of errors and improve the security of Apple Pay.

"We believe that the new iPhone will be released in the third quarter of 2015 and will be equipped with a new upgraded fingerprint module, providing a better and more secure Apple Pay experience and reducing its error probability. Therefore, we have raised our expectations for Touch ID shipments in 2015 by 12.4%."

Kuo told investors he believes suppliers will gradually ramp up Touch ID production, which will grow 77% in the third quarter to 260 million units for the full year, adding that the upgraded fingerprint scanner will "require more advanced precision in the laser welding process for the module."

Later, Guo Mingchi also said that although some patent documents and Apple’s keynote speeches mentioned built-in Touch ID in the screen, he believed that this would not be possible in a short period of time.

Because if Touch ID is integrated into the bottom of the screen, it will require a very complex algorithm, and it will also require sapphire glass for protection to minimize scratches, and it will take time to bring these to market.
