What is Touch ID vs. Face ID?
Touch ID uses fingerprints for authentication, while Face ID uses facial recognition. The story mentions the new foldable iPhone might use Touch ID instead of Face ID. This could be due to the unique design challenges of integrating Face ID into a foldable screen or a strategic choice to offer an alternative, potentially more convenient, unlocking method for this new form factor.
