However, one of the changes that wasn\u2019t widely-advertised is how Touch ID on the new MacBook Pro was changed from capacitive to optical.<\/p>\n<p>This has led to speculation that similar tech could eventually find its way back to the iPhone, where Apple might introduce an in-display fingerprint sensor.

That being said, nothing has been confirmed yet so take it with a grain of salt, but the rumors and patents all seem to be pointing in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ubergizmo.com\/2019\/12\/apple-patent-fuels-iphone-in-display-fingerprint-sensor-rumors\/\">Apple Patent Fuels iPhone In-Display Fingerprint Sensor Rumors<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tyler Lee on 12\/17\/2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-industrienachrichten"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8381"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8383,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8381\/revisions\/8383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ljdevice.com.tw\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
