The iPhone 6s incorporates a second-generation Touch ID sensor that is up to twice as fast as the first-generation sensor found in the 5s, 6, and SE (1st generation) phones. As of August 2022, the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, SE (2nd generation), SE (3rd generation), 2016 and later MacBook Pro, 2018 and later <a href="/wiki/MacBook_Air" title="MacBook Air">MacBook Air</a>, <a href="/wiki/IPad_Pro_(2nd_generation)" title="IPad Pro (2nd generation)">iPad Pro (2nd generation)</a> and later, <a href="/wiki/IPad_Air_(3rd_generation)" title="IPad Air (3rd generation)">iPad Air (3rd generation)</a> and later, and <a href="/wiki/IPad_Mini_(5th_generation)" title="IPad Mini (5th generation)">iPad mini (5th generation)</a> or later are the Apple devices which use the second generation sensor. The new Touch ID unlocks almost instantly and posed an issue as it unlocks too fast to read notifications on the lock screen. This is remedied with the <a href="/wiki/IOS_10" title="IOS 10">iOS 10</a> update in which a user must press the home button to have the home screen appear. This, however, can be changed in iOS settings so that users can go directly to the home screen after resting their finger on the sensor, similar to previous versions of iOS. Solely placing a finger on the sensor will only unlock the iPhone unless said setting is enabled, and no notifications are currently being displayed on the lock screen. </p> <div class="mw-heading
