Touch ID in the new iPhone will be built into the display

Yes, today is the day of patents. Apple filed another application with the US Patent Office. According 

to her, the company has developed a display, which will be enabled fingerprint.

The patent application titled «Acoustic imaging system architecture» (Architecture acoustic imaging system) refers to an array of acoustic transducers. They are integrated under glass or smartphone display.

The new component reads the biometric information via sound waves or pulses, passing on the glass surface of the smartphone. So kupertinovtsy can rethink Touch ID button in the Home, which, according to rumors, will not be in the next generation iPhone.

Since this technology allows us to consider multiple fingerprint data reliability increase.

However, there is a question with an accuracy of recognition. What happens if the owner accidentally dropped your iPhone and will break the glass? Then, because it is impossible to recognize a finger due to obstacles to the propagation of sound waves. In general, it is unclear.

I wonder if Pat gets to the realization of the iPhone 8, and how it will work. We look forward to the presentation of the autumn.
