Important news that Jon Prosser just published assuring that The next iPhone 13 could include a Face ID system that works even with a mask on.
Since the arrival of COVID-19, the iPhone has had to see how its praised facial recognition system remained an unhelpful system on a day-to-day basis due to the widespread use of masks. With half a face covered, the iPhone's facial scanner is unable to recognize the user, and despite the fact that we can now unlock the iPhone using Face ID together with our Apple Watch when the system detects that we are wearing a mask, the system is no longer as comfortable, fast or safe as it was originally conceived. In fact, Apple does not allow this new unlocking method to make payments with Apple Pay.
Por todo esto mucho se ha hablado de la posible inclusión de un nuevo Touch ID integrado en pantalla, que combinado con el Face ID nos permita usar indistintamente cualquiera de los dos métodos dependiendo de las necesidades de cada momento. Pero ¿y si Apple desarrollara un nuevo Face ID que funcionara incluso con una mascarilla puesta? Pues esto es lo que parece que ocurrirá al final si hacemos caso de lo que Jon Prosser acaba de publicar en su blog. La imagen que podemos ver al inicio del artículo shows this new Face ID inside a frame placed around the iPhone 12, with which Apple would have been testing this new system internally. The arrangement of its components and the shape of the whole is very similar to the new narrower Face ID that the new iPhone 13 is rumored to bring. This could be one of the great novelties of the next iPhone that we will see in a couple of weeks and that could come out on sale September 17.
