Is them releasing a keyboard (detached and presumably replaceable) with a Touch ID sensor basically an admission that the iPhone Touch ID did NOT have to be permanently paired to the phone to keep it secure?
Because in this case you can replace the keyboard and keep it secure, which contains the Touch ID sensor.
- kmeisthax 6y agoI would not be surprised if the sensor is permanently paired to the keyboard's controller chip, and then there's a load of security involved there to keep you from swapping the sensor on the keyboard itself. Still, better to replace a $100 wireless keyboard than a $1200 computer.
