Touch ID, Face ID… Apple has had a few different ways of unlocking its devices. It’s also lodged hundreds of different patents for different unlocking methods, and one was just granted by the US patent office — and it uses your heartbeat?
According to the patent, it would use your unique ‘BioID’ to open your iPhone, or another device — although how it actually works is, to the layperson (like me) mostly techno-babble and mysterious uses of the words ‘integrate cardiac sensor’.
