O iOS 7 tirava uma foto de 88×88 com 500dpi da sua digital e enviava para uma área segura de memória.
O iOS 7.1.1 aprimorou o algoritmo tirando várias fotos, prevendo possíveis erros futuros, melhorando a precisão a cada leitura e ainda reduziu os cálculos necessários para a validação.
Uau! tá pronto para colocar no iPad! 🙂
Touch ID takes a 88×88 500ppi scan of your finger and temporarily sends that data to a secure cache located near the RAM, after the data is vectorized and forwarded to the secure enclave located on the top left of the A7 near the M7 processor it is immediately discarded after processing. The fingerprint scanner uses subdermal [sic] ridge flows (inner layer of skin) to prevent loss of accuracy if you were to have micro cuts or debris on your finger.
With iOS 7.1.1 Apple now takes multiple scans of each position you place finger at setup instead of a single one and uses algorithms to predict potential errors that could arise in the future. Touch ID was supposed to gradually improve accuracy with every scan but the problem was if you didn’t scan well on setup it would ruin your experience until you re-setup your finger. iOS 7.1.1 not only removes that problem and increases accuracy but also greatly reduces the calculations your iPhone 5S had to make while unlocking the device which means you should get a much faster unlock time.
