A new rumour from Taiwanese site Apple.club.tw says that Apple is to bring Touch ID to its MacBooks and computer mice. Touch ID is the fingerprint scanning technology the company has included with the iPhone and iPad beginning with the iPhone 5s.
They say that scanner will be included above the trackpad on MacBooks and included on Apple’s Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. It’s suggested that this would allow users of Apple’s Mac desktops and MacBook laptops to take advantage of increased security, but more importantly it will bring Apple Pay to the Mac. Now many of you will envisage Apple Pay as a contactless payment system to be used in stores, however Apple Pay is also for use online, offering users the ability to simply tap the fingerprint scanner to allow them to make an online payment at participating sites.
Whether this rumour is true or not, it certainly seems like a logical and useful step for the implementation of Touch ID – it’d sure be nice to use it for password entry too.
