Apple has put out a patent for a system that could use an iPhone’s sensors to help identify – and hopefully catch – thieves by tracking their fingerprints and photos.
The patented feature would function similar to some third-party lockscreen apps for Android, taking a snap of a potential no-goodnik when they put in an incorrect password.
In addition to prints and pics, the patent also mentions gathering other data during a suspected breach, such as time of day, location, audio, accelerometer speed, video, and even the pressure, AppleInsider reports.
