Touch ID
Apple's fingerprint recognition technology, which can be integrated into the power button and uses a capacitive sensor to enable device unlocking and payment authorization.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The iPhone Duo abandons Face ID and instead uses Touch ID integrated into the power button.
Power-button Touch ID requires only a single capacitive fingerprint sensor, less than 1 millimeter thick, and the same button can complete unlocking and payment authorization whether the device is folded or unfolded.
Apple has already proven the maturity of power-button Touch ID on the iPad Air and iPad mini.
Touch ID stores and compares fingerprint templates via the Secure Enclave hardware-isolated area, and apps can only get a verification pass/fail result and cannot read the raw fingerprint data.
Touch ID is particularly difficult to support under Linux because it relies on a closed communication protocol of the Secure Enclave.
