iPad Pro Touch ID

[gerbrian]

Hi

Is there any information about which Touch ID sensor the iPad Pro will use? The old one of the new one found in the 6S?

Thanks!

I am remember reading somewhere that's it's last gen touch ID I could be wrong but I think it's the same as the iPhone 6

its the iphone 6 TOUCHID and not the 2nd generation

We won't know for 100% sure until reviews are out, but all evidence so far points to the same TouchID that was in the 6/6Plus.

i suspect it's the 1st gen else Phil would have bragged about it during the unveiling.

Looks like 1.gen:

Else I think it would say 2.gen, as it does on the iPhone compare:

So the NEW pro has some OLD hardware? I guess Apple just knows I'm going to buy it anyway. :-/

They always do this, iPhone get the new sensors first and the iPad gets it next year.

honestly i have never had an issue with the old touch id so no biggie...they have to ADD something for next years model anyway

old touchid still lets you see your notifications
the 2nd gen is too quick

good comparison... that really is disspointing though.

I actually prefer the "old" touch sensor. It's so fast on my iP6S that I can't quickly tap the home button to look at the lock screen for notifications. It's almost too fast to beat.

Challenge accepted and completed. My reflexes destroyed that Touch ID 2.0 like nobody's business.
