While currently working on its next iPhone along with the rumored 12 inch iPad Pro, Apple might finally be incorporating the Touch ID upgrade to it's MacBook, Magic Mouse and the Magic Trackpad. According to the Taiwanese website named apple.club.tw, the Cupertino tech giant intends on assimilating its Touch ID interface to several of its devices in 2015.
According to the information posted on the website, integration of the interface will be above the trackpad on the MacBooks and in the process, it will become directly connected with the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. The fingerprint scanner is a security feature that has been present in laptops for a very long time and Apple plans on supplementing that level of security with its own interface. Currently, the feature exists in the company's iPhone 5s and all other iOS devices that have been released since then.
In addition, the interface also allows consumers to make purchases through payment processors such as PayPal without continuously inputting their sensitive credentials. If the information posted on the website ends up being true, then it will open up several doors for the company when it comes to adding the feature in other products as well as updating it with newer additions that will end up making the experience more flexible.
Apple has already branched out to the financial innovation industry by equipping its large screen iPhones with an NFC chip. The chip will not be able to send data to other devices wirelessly, but it will allow customers to make purchases more securely compared to the credit/debit card swiping process. Furthermore, the company is also being rumored to be working on an electrical car, which has been dubbed the 'iCar.'
The tech giant is currently gearing up to release its smartwatch, named the iWatch as well as the company's iOS 9 update. If the Touch ID interface update will be incorporated in to the remainder of Apple products, then it is possible that the company will be them sometime later this year.
