I wanted to share with you some details about the #TouchID security system, implemented across 2013 #iPhone 5S all the way up to 2020 iPhone SE 2nd Gen (and many #iPad and #MacBook models as well).

1/ TouchID is a security system handled by Secure Enclave Professor (SEP).
2/ it has seen improvements over the years.

3/ Apple is probably working on a solution to move it under display.
Left: under display TouchID patent (Apple)
Right: Touch ID original patent
