Though it may be seen as a bit of a relic of the past for iPhones, Apple has just filed a new patent that may make a Touch ID comeback a real force to be reckoned with.
The patent suggests Apple may be preparing to make some big improvements around ultrasonic touch sensing and fingerprint imaging soon. As patents are somewhat a declaration of intent, it's possible this is just the start in a chain of events that could bring Touch ID back to Apple's most popular mobile devices following the launch of the iPhone 15.
