Opinion: The three things I think Apple needs to do to unlock the full potential of Touch ID

<p>I <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/03/25/3d-touch-future-opinion/" target="_blank">mused recently[/url] about the limited support for 3D Touch, not just from third-party developers but even by Apple itself. That’s not something I consider a huge deal: the novelty appeal of 3D Touch soon wore off for me, and I decided I could happily live without it when switching from the iPhone 6s <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/05/iphone-se-diary-decision-time/" target="_blank">to the iPhone SE[/url]. It was just something that struck me as odd.</p>
<p>But exactly the same issue exists with Touch ID, and that’s something I do think is a big deal.</p>
<p>Passwords are horrible. They were fine way back in the days when we only needed a handful of them, but these days you need a password to do everything from transferring photos from a camera to an iPad through to ordering a pizza. We probably each have hundreds of the darned things.</p>
<p>And passwords are especially horrible on iOS devices – where we have to switch an on-screen keyboard between letters, numbers and symbols multiple times to type a single password. That’s a problem that ought to have been almost completely solved by Touch ID – yet that’s not the case …</p>
