Air iPad 2 with Touch ID – iOS 7.1 released new theory – Internet Zone

After much speculation, the presentation model of iPhone 5s confirmed and launched one of the most innovative features – fingerprint sensor. The Prime Minister reinforced the theory that the next iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina will be equipped with the same security system. Now, one of the developers managed to find a line of code with iOS 7.1 indicating that the future Air iPad 2 will be equipped with Touch ID .

biometric sensor is one of the most distinctive innovation in smartphones at the turn of 2013 and 2014. Although there are some precedents, iPhone 5s can be considered a turning point in the technology used in mobile (as it once was with a touch screen). Followed the trend of other manufacturers, so we can already be found in several models of phones. However, interestingly, tablets for now have not been included in the group “selected”, despite the very frequent use of strictly business.

iPad with Touch ID

expected that the iPad Air emergence of just such equipment, sooner or later. Although rumors suggest, supported by forecasts of various analysts, is that the new generation Apple tablet will receive the same sensor iPhone 5s, logical reasoning adopted ourselves. Thus, following the proof does not surprise anyone.

Trop in iOS 7.1

Evidence discovered French developer, Pierre Blazquez , finding in the code of iOS 7.1 for iPad references that appear in connection with the use of the fingerprint sensor to confirm the identity. In practical terms, Framework BiometricKit , where lines of code corresponding to compatible devices, among other things, introduced the iPad.

Reached computer language is not binding, but can be considered as evidence of the relationship between fingerprint sensor and iPad. Specifically, this means that the program will be compiled so that the pad could be equipped with a touch ID. The final step should be to Apple – if the company decides to take advantage of this optimization, although there is no absolute certainty that the iPad will be the first model. Probably it may be, the iPad Air 2, maybe even the third generation of the iPad Mini, but it is still not certain, because the manufacturer has the ability to take advantage of this feature on your tablet, or not, at any time.
