At first I read this as "Apple doesn't implement Touch ID, because they found it to be insecure", which really confused me. Was that the intent? On second read

At first I read this as "Apple doesn't implement Touch ID, because they found it to be insecure", which really confused me. Was that the intent?
On second reading, I'm thinking this might mean, "since Apple only implements Face ID, biometrics on Apple devices is less secure", which makes more sense (to me).
- throwawayffffas 11mo agoAren't fingerprints obsolete as biometrics? Last I remembered fingerprints can be lifted if high resolution pictures. I.e. any picture where your thumb is visible.

Fingerprints are much more non-deterministic and therefore more secure.
