I have a love and hate relationship with the Nexus 6 and there is no doubt that the massive successor to the game-changing Nexus 5 polarises opinion. But whatever your feelings, it has been revealed that the Nexus 6 had to cut one major corner which could have serious repercussions for Android – and that it is Apple AAPL +0.42%’s fault.
Speaking to The Telegraph, former Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside has revealed, as suspected, that the Nexus 6 was originally meant to have a fingerprint sensor until Apple stepped in:
“The secret behind that is that it was supposed to be fingerprint recognition, and Apple bought the best supplier,” explains Woodside. “So the second best supplier was the only one available to everyone else in the industry and they weren’t there yet.”
