Apple’s Latest iPhone Puts Focus Back on Fingerprint Security
Apple’s latest product launch could breathe new life into a technology that failed to take hold the first time: Fingerprint scanners.
Placing a finger on a computer or smartphone has long been proposed as a way to avoid the need for passwords to authenticate users of computers and other devices. People familiar with the matter said last week that Apple will include a fingerprint scanner on the more expensive of two iPhones it is expected to unveil Tuesday at an event at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters.
