Apple's Touch ID has had a good run, but when the iPhone SE switches to what most people think will be an OLED display with Face ID it will mark the end of the line for the more than decade-old technology.
This last vestige of not only Apple's circular fingerprint reader but of the iPhone's once-iconic home button has nowhere to go, no place to hide. No other piece of Apple hardware, mobile or otherwise, uses it. When that iPhone SE redesign comes (likely not, though, as part of the iPhone 16 Apple Event), the Apple Home button and Touch ID will begin a slow fade into memory, and then be buried with all the other long-forgotten classic technology.
