IIRC my touchID phone was one of the early ones to have it (a 7+, maybe? I don't recall for sure). I've used I think three different Apple laptops with touchID, and they've all worked fine. It could be that early versions of the hardware didn't like something about my skin, but later versions (by the time they started putting them in laptops) were fine. I hold on to phones quite a while, so my next upgrade after that had faceID. In fairness to Apple, I didn't try any of their later touchID-equipped models of phones.
- extra88 5y agoThere have only been two generations of Touch IDs on iPhones. The 5s and SE gen 1 have the first generation Touch ID and the rest have the second. The second gen was noticeably faster, I don’t know if it was more reliable.
- kiwijamo 5y agoI recall that Touch ID on both the 5s and the 7 was equally poor for me so it doesn't seem that the second generation has improved things for me at least.
