KGI: Apple developing new biometric sensors to replace existing Touch ID tech, including face recognition

<p>Reliable Apple analyst KGI Ming-Chi Kuo is reporting that they believe Apple is looking to leapfrog its existing Touch ID sensor, first introduced in 2013 with the iPhone 5s (http://amzn.to/2jKgPQT) and refined with a 2x faster sensor for iPhone 6s (http://amzn.to/2jKjDxM), to instead rely on several new biometric technologies, which will enable new iPhones and iPads to feature ‘zero bezel’ designs.</p>
<p>The current Touch ID is a capacitive sensor, KGI believes the company will supplant it with a new optical fingerprint sensor as well as facial recognition sensors. The optical sensor is necessary for Apple to execute its vision for a zero-bezel iPhone, currently rumoured for iPhone 8 (https://9to5mac.com/guides/iphone-8/).</p>
