Hello, how are you? I am the original huh, click on the attention, more exciting content waiting for you!

As Apple is in the process of finalizing the hardware specifications for the next-generation flagship iPhone 16, a new report suggests that the Touch ID feature, which has received a lot of attention since the launch of the iPhone 5, is on its way out.

While it's no surprise that Touch ID is no longer being added to the range of iPhones equipped with Face ID, the report reveals that Apple is phasing out production of Touch ID components for the iPhone.

The news was revealed by an analyst who was the first to report that the iPhone 14 would continue to carry the A15 Bionic chip, which Apple retained in its Pro lineup this year.

Specifically, the report states that the equipment used to make the iPhone Touch ID chip has been "permanently shut down," while the remaining equipment is dedicated to the production of the third generation of the iPhone SE, which is still on sale.

It's worth noting the details of this change: the report says that the issue involves Touch ID used on iPhones, but that doesn't mean that iPads will be affected. After all, the Touch ID mechanism used on all iPads except the ninth-generation iPad and the Face ID-enabled iPad Pro is independent.

In addition to the iPhone, this hardware manufacturing change may also hint at the end of the Touch ID system used on the ninth-generation iPad, although that's not yet confirmed. Of course, there's no indication that any changes are planned for the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac keyboard with Touch ID.

However, the phasing out of iPhone Touch ID devices is concerning. The next-generation iPhone SE will come with Face ID, signaling the first full shift to facial recognition technology across the iPhone lineup after the current SE exits the market.

This further supports what analysts have said in the past, which is that Apple engineers stopped looking for other ways to unlock the iPhone once they adopted Face ID. Since then, Touch ID's days on the iPhone seem to be numbered.

That's not to say that the rumors of under-screen fingerprint recognition won't one day become a reality, but it's still early days. Other manufacturers use both technologies because in most cases, their facial recognition features aren't as secure and reliable as Apple's. Considering that Apple's current system is already secure enough, adding extra security is less likely. So goodbye, Touch ID.

Leaked iPhone 16 Pro battery photos show Apple letting consumers down big time

A photo posted by a self-proclaimed Apple analyst allegedly reveals details of the battery in an "early" iPhone 16 Pro prototype. The battery has a "glossy" metal casing and a capacity of 3,355mAh.

This marks a slight 2.5% increase compared to the 3274mAh battery capacity built into the iPhone 15 Pro. The analyst noted that the "current stage" version of the battery now features a cold metal case and redesigned connectors.

The introduction of a metal casing may help dissipate heat from the iPhone. This follows news that Apple is testing a graphene thermal system that includes a battery with a metal casing.

It is worth noting that the iPhone 15 Pro had caused overheating issues due to certain apps such as gaming software when it was first released. The temperature of the phone had risen to 116 degrees Fahrenheit when a certain app was opened on certain iPhone 15 Pro models.

In the case of overheating, the life of the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max battery drops drastically, making it overheated and untouchable.

In fact, the slight increase in iPhone 16 Pro battery life (2.5%) is more significant than the iPhone 15 Pro's increase this year (2.3%). Compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 15 Pro Max battery capacity has increased by 2.3%.

Compared to the iPhone 14 Plus, the iPhone 15 has double the battery capacity (4.61 TP2T), while the iPhone 15 Plus has 1.41 TP2T more battery capacity.

There have been some rumors about the battery capacity that the next generation of iPhones are expected to use. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 15 will have an increased battery life of 181 TP2T, while the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro models will have an increased battery life of 141 TP2T.

As for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, its battery life will increase by 121 TP2 T. However, the actual increase in battery capacity does not, in fact, amount to the rumored number.
