New Apple Patent Describes Fingerprint Sensor That Could Work Through Display

Oh god, sorry about that. I've been having issues with quoting lately on these forums where I'll get an error message, then it ends up doing a double quote of multiple people (not to mention the way the webpage jumps around when using an iPad Pro keyboard). I think I highlighted and deleted one of the posts of yours I already quoted but didn't delete all the way to the user. Sorry about that, I'll correct it now.

I've corrected it now, sorry about that!

Lol you are forgiven.. iOS 10 Safari is a bit of a nightmare with this forum as of late. For instance the tiny comment window you get in landscape mode unless you click on 'more options'. Or how you click reply and it doesn't jump to the reply box. Could be this website being buggy of course?

I think it's the website itself, If I ever go to edit a post I've made the second I hit backspace the entire page jumps all the way down and I'm typing blindly, this was happening on iOS9 to begin with.

Well, my hand is small enough to do that even on the smaller screen of 6s (hence I am a strong supporter for the smaller screen 4" phone). So I am confident that I can definitely perform said task with the plus models.

You can hold your phone in one hand, and use the SAME hand to do multi finger gestures? Wow. I try and I can't physically do it. I can rest the phone in my fingers and have the thumb available. Or hold the bottom with thumb and another finger, but then I can't get the remaining fingers to the glass to perform gestures.

If they can somehow place 2 or more haptic engines inside, I would be okay, otherwise, it's gonna feel like a ****** click as the vibration is weaker farther away you are from the engine

You're blaming Safari / Apple because the website has a bug? Oh my... xD Blame the site not Apple ffs

No no. Don't be silly now.
I meant holding the phone on one hand and then the gesture with the other.
But what about my other suggestion? The AssistiveTouch?

But that was my point. The iPad is designed to be used 2 handed. The iPhone is designed to be used one handed. Therefore, multi finger gestures are not an option on a phone.

The plus model is definitely not designed to be used one handed though...
At least, not me...

How about a whole front display and relocate the home button on the back? Sort of like the Nexus phones, and Google Pixel.

I really hope they can implement this for the Anniversary Edition iPhone!
