Apple plans to add Face ID to Mac computers
MacRumors says Apple plans to add Face ID to its Mac computers over the next two years.
The site quoted this news from the well-known journalist Mark German in Bloomberg Network, who expressed his belief that Apple aims to add facial recognition to all its products, including the basic non-flagship iPhone phones such as the iPhone SE as well as the iPad Air that supports touch recognition ( Touch ID).
German said that the touch feature will remain an important part of Apple products, especially for basic models, because it is an inexpensive alternative to the Face ID feature while continuing to provide security protection for users.
German had previously said that Apple was planning to add facial recognition to the recently redesigned and released 24-inch Mac, but it postponed this step to the upcoming Mac, which will also see a design change.
And unlike iPhone and iPad, Mac laptop screens are much thinner, making it difficult to insert the depth sensors needed to support Face ID, German noted.
