The author who uses "iPhone 8", "Pixel 6 Pro" and "Galaxy S20+" wants to use winter fingerprint authentication comfortably

I usually carry four smartphones for everyday use, but the most frequently used is the iPhone 8.Pixel 6 Pro is left to Pixel 6 Pro, etc., but most of the work is "iPhone 8", including e -mail, schedule check, maps and route searches, exchanges with Messenger and SMS, and collecting information.Is going on.As expected, the battery was getting rid of, and recently, the battery remaining would be in the red in no time if it was not always charged (Galaxy S20+ 5g and Pixel 6 Pro's battery share functions.Wireless charging), at the end of 2021 last year, I went to Apple Store Ginza and replaced the battery for 5940 yen, and returned to almost as if it were new.

The reason why we keep using the product nearly five years old, 2017, which has already been released to the iPhone 13, is all derived from the existence of Touch ID.

"Face ID" introduced in "iPhone X" requires double clicking side buttons when using Apple Pay, and personally believes that it is inconvenient because it contains face authentication.With a Touch ID, even if the main unit is in a sleep state, payment can be made simply by approaching the non -contact leader with a finger on the sensor, so the main terminal is the main terminal for the author who advocates a "mobile payment journalist".It is an iPhone equipped with an ID, and there is no intention of switching until the main body support is completed.At least, Apple has determined that the iPhone will not intend to install a solution to the iPhone for a while in the future.

However, the demon for this favorite Touch ID is "winter".New York, as shown in the photos, visits every winter for an exhibition interview, but in January, the blizzard may arrive, and the temperature in the snowstorm often falls below minus 10 degrees.The writer is proud to be quite strong in the cold, but as expected, it is strict to go out in a light dress at this temperature, and gloves are essential items.It is necessary to remove gloves every time for fingerprint authentication, which is troublesome.If you use transportation, you can use "Express mode" so there is no need for fingerprint authentication, but fortunately the New York subway MTA is compatible with Express mode and you can ride gloves with gloves.

Another problem in winter is "drying finger".The fingerprint authentication immediately after touching sweat and water in summer is subtle, but in winter, the skin is dry and the success rate of fingerprint authentication is significantly reduced.Regardless of the indoors where the temperature and humidity are kept comfortably to some extent, if you try to operate the terminal outside, especially outside, you will often be appalled by the low success rate.There is no problem because the start of the camera is not required for fingerprint authentication, but it is a case that requires a quick operation, for example, a settlement service using apps such as code payments, a barcode of a point card or a QR code for admission.Often confused.
