Former Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside says that his company had plans to add a fingerprint sensor to the Nexus 6 but that Apple acquired the company it was hoping to partner with.
iPhone maker Apple is to blame for the Nexus 6 smartphone missing a fingerprint sensor, says the former CEO of Motorola.
Dennis Woodside said in an interview published Monday in the UK-based Telegraph that Motorola -- which co-developed the Nexus 6 with Google -- had plans to put a fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone but that the idea was ultimately scuttled after Apple acquired fingerprint sensor maker AuthenTec in 2012.
