The number of smartphone functions has increased dramatically over the past few years. Technology never ceases to amaze us, and things will only improve in the coming years. Examples include dual-lens cameras, QHD screens, fingerprint sensors, and waterproof capabilities.

Apple has become a byword for revolution. It is well known how the Cupertino corporation rose to the very top of the technological industry. Steve Jobs sought to make things straightforward, clever, and svelte while also keeping their durability as he unveiled the first-ever iPod to the public. Did you recognize any of these words? Apple is indeed acting in this manner.

The fingerprint sensor occupies a notable place among the many ground-breaking ideas that Apple has adopted. Apple is not only one of the first businesses to ever offer this functionality in their smartphones (and later in other devices), but they also did so with skill and originality.

Touch ID is the name Apple gives to its fingerprint sensor. One of the most popular iPhone models ever, the iPhone 5S, introduced Touch ID. In reality, Touch ID played a significant role in its success by bringing something incredibly uncommon to smartphones. In 2011, only Motorola's flagship devices had previously provided similar functionality.

The Touch ID was the first time we got to glimpse the true beauty of this incredible feature, even though we had previously seen countless unsuccessful attempts to duplicate the fingerprint sensor technology through various apps. Because your fingerprints are the only thing that no one else has, Touch ID was designed to boost device security. Apple chose to incorporate this capability into their smartphones because even two successive fingers don't have the same pattern.

At first, Touch ID could only be used to lock and unlock your iPhone. Later, more modern features were added to it, like Apple Pay support, to give Touch ID considerably greater versatility. One of the best Touch ID upgrades to date may be on the horizon if recent reports are to be believed.

 

A new use for Touch ID

Apple is reportedly tightening its controls on iPhone thefts by working on a change inside the Touch ID, according to recent claims and reliable leaks. If your iPhone is stolen, this hack is believed to capture the thief's fingerprints inside it (assuming that the criminal tries to use Touch ID) and help the police apprehend the offender.

Given that iPhone thefts are becoming an increasingly common occurrence worldwide due to their enormous annual sales, this inclusion might be a welcome one. It's too soon to predict how Apple will apply this feature because every invention suffers early difficulties, and it's unclear how the fingerprints will go to the authorities since the iPhone would be in the hands of the thief.

If Apple does manage to pull this off, it will undoubtedly further solidify its position as one of the world's most secure smartphone producers and consumers will be more inclined to choose Apple products in return for increased security. This anticipated feature, especially in nations like Pakistan, is a fantastic reason to celebrate, and we hope that this adjustment is made as soon as possible for the benefit of everyone.
