    iPad Air New iPad Air 6 13 inch : touchID button feels flimsy and cheap

    So. I just received my brand new iPad Air 6 13inch. I’ve owned basically every other iPad Air so far, still rocking the M1 Air 5. Upon registering my fingerprint, I noticed the TouchID button had some wiggle room. It felt like it could wiggle way more than the M1 Air 5. It’s working ok, but it...

    iPhone SE (2020) Tips/Advice/Thoughts on transitioning from TouchID to FaceID

    Hello everyone! Longtime MacRumors lurker, first time poster here…but been with Apple/Mac for a long time. (My first Mac was a Performa 6116CD!) Anyhow…I’m faced with the sobering reality that my iPhone SE (Gen2) is not going to live forever. I have long resisted FaceID, as I like the tactile...

    Can't unlock my closed Macbook with external TouchID keyboard anymore

    I run my Macbook Pro with M1 Max in clamshell mode most of the time and have a Caldigit TS4 Thunderbolt dock and Apple Studio Display connected. Until recently, I was able to unlock the Mac using my external Touch ID Magic Keyboard. Now this seems no longer possible. I have to enter the password...

    After I put my MacBook on sleep and leaving it idle (with lid open) for around 15mins, when I try to wake it up by placing (not pressing) the finger on touchID, it doesn't respond regardless of it being plugged or unplugged. And instead when I press the touchID , the screen flashes for...

    Huge Issue With TouchID on 2021 MacBook Pro

    Well, this is embarrassing. I, Timm Kook, am having to post on a forum here about an issue with a 2021 MacBook Pro, 16", M1 Max chip. Here's the issue: When plugged into MagSafe, and I lock the screen or close the lid for more than about 5-10 mins and come back, I CANNOT use TouchID to unlock...

    Magic Keyboard with TouchID on MacBook Pro/Air

    I just got mine to work with my MacBook Pro and a Dell monitor. It works well. Setting up the first Touch ID is non intuitive. See more here: The finger print is stored in the enclave, so fingers programmed on either MacBook or Magic keyboard work on the other. But you do have to have a free...

    Auto Unlock Feature - Unlock computer only or password autofills?

    Hi, thinking about getting an Apple Watch. Does the Auto Unlock feature only unlock the computer or does it also function like touchID on MacBooks where it will authenticate password autofills as well? Thank you

    Other How does Apple test its new technologies?

    We all know that Apple had tried waterproof technology on iPhone 6 before it officially announced that iPhone 7 is water-resistant. This just got me to think that maybe Apple has always tested its innovative technologies in its current generations to test their features and then release the next...

    I have TouchID, why do more elements of macOS not use it?

    TouchID has been available on Macs for over two years now, so why do I have to keep entering my password for things like Keychain Access? Surely that would have been one of the first system components which could have taken full advantage of the new authentication feature? I'm setting up a new...
