Disputes on the theme of Touch ID vs. Face ID will not abate until the next generation iPhone presentation in September. The technology of data protection with the help of fingerprints is very liked by users and the possible rejection of it will be problematic.

Most likely, in the first versions of the system Face ID will be wildly buggy, recognize the owner's photo instead of a live person, or completely refuse to let the owner through the lock screen.

Of course, over time, all this will be adjusted and polished, it will only be necessary to wait a few months.

What will be the problem of FaceID? Let's remember why we most often use the Touch ID on the iPhone and think about how Face ID.

Unlocking a smartphone Very often we just need to look at the time or information from widgets that are located on the lock screen.

To do this, we turn on the display with the Power key, through the normal lifting of the device (on models with a Raise to Wake chip) or by pressing the Home button with a finger whose fingerprint is not stored in the system.

How it will work with Face ID - unknown. Perhaps each inclusion of the screen in front of the user will lead to unlocking the device.

Payment via Apple Pay Now for payment in a non-contact way we bring the smartphone to the terminal and apply a finger to the Touch ID. Such a system makes it impossible to withdraw funds without our knowledge.

Even if the attacker secretly brings the terminal to the device, without a print it does not work.

Change the Touch ID on Face ID. For starters, we get rather vague prospects of payment through terminals. In order for the NFC + user identification to work, you will have to tilt to the device along with the smartphone. And in ATMs, you will literally bow to the operation.

It is likely that a new fraud scheme may appear. Imagine a user looking at the screen of his new iPhone, an attacker with a terminal runs up and brings it to the smartphone. The device receives a request for payment of the account and immediately confirms it with the "face" of the owner.

Most likely, the system will be protected from such operations, but on certain reflections it pushes.

Payment in the App Store And again we try to replace the convenient Touch ID with an incomprehensible Face ID. You lie before you go to bed and look through the tops of applications in the App Store. One awkward click on the button with the price and the system proceeds to the payment confirmation.

Now it is enough to press Cancel and not to apply a finger to the Touch ID, the identification of the user's face will see us in the frame and make payment.

What will Apple do?

Of course, Apple does not work fools, such feilings are simply unacceptable. This means that you will have to come up with additional steps and steps when authorizing with Face ID.

This can be extra dialog boxes or messages. In any case, simple and habitual for us processes will become more complicated and become more confused.

It remains only to hope for the magic of Apple and the fact that the developers somehow shove the usual Touch ID sensor into a new generation smartphone.
