Apple may be planning to implement a 'panic button' function into future iPhone's Touch ID fingerprint sensor, according to a new patent.
The patent, filed in May 2014 and granted this week, reveals how the sensor could be used to activate a panic mode, which would make the handset's data inaccessible to the user.
The fingerprint sensor was first introduced with the iPhone 5s, primarily serving as a swift method of unlocking the phone and serving as identity verification when making purchases on iTunes, for example. It has since been built into the 6 and 6s iPhone generations, as well as recent iPad models.
The phone will still unlock once panic mode has been activated, which could be implemented in various ways, including disabling a certain set of functions on the phone, denying access to contact information, emails and photos, or activating the handset's camera or microphone to document who is trying to use it. The recordings could then be forwarded on to law enforcement under certain circumstances.
