The iPhone 13 is disappointed with fingerprint authentication and no USB-C "There is an iPad mini"

"IPhone 13" appears.Apple announced on September 15, 2021.The driving time of the battery increases, and a "cinematic mode" that automatically switches the focus while shooting a video is added.On the other hand, the "Touch ID" function that can unlock the screen by fingerprint authentication does not revive, and no "USB Type-C" terminal (USB-C) is introduced.In each case, despite the strong requests from the user.

In contrast, Touch ID and USB-C were adopted in the simultaneous tablet PC "iPad mini" (6th generation).Why isn't it an iPhone?I asked Mr. Atsushi Ishikawa, a smartphone and mobile journalist.

I wanted a Touch ID in the mask society

"Touch ID" was used as an iPhone series authentication system, from the "iPhone5s" released in 2013 to the "iPhone 8" released in September 2017.After the iPhoneX, which appeared in November 2017, the face authentication system "Face ID" has been adopted except for the "iPhone SE" (2nd generation, released in 20 years).

Since the "iPhone 5" in 2012, the series uses "Lightning" developed in the United States instead of USB-C for charging and data transfer means.

Without an "Apple Watch" that assists in the authentication, Face ID does not work properly when wearing a mask.For this reason, there have been voices of the iPhone in the recent years of the new colon virus evil, and the iPhone will re -appear for the re -appearing of the Touch ID that can be touched with fingers.

According to Mr. Ishikawa, the USB-C is generally faster than Lightning, and is widely penetrated in non-apple products.Some people wish to use the iPhone USB-C because of the transfer speed and the compatibility with other devices.

In the new iPad mini, a Touch ID can be used by touching the "top button" (power button) on the right side of the upper side of the terminal.Even in the previous generation launched in 2019, the Touch ID could be used in the "home button" at the bottom of the screen.The cable terminal has shifted from the previous generation aircraft to USB-C.

The "iPad Pro" series that appeared after 2018 and the "iPad Air" (4th generation) released in 2020 are also supported by USB-C.
