I-Face ID akuyona ikhamera kuphela engezwa kwi-iPhone noma i-iPad yethu futhi seyanele ngokwanele ukuvula amadivayisi, ukuqaliswa kwale sensor kanye nobuchwepheshe obudingekayo ekusebenzeni kwayo kwi-iPhone X ngo-2017 kuguqulwe ngaphandle ungabaze le nketho yokuvula amadivayisi eselula futhi manje kubonakala sengathi ngemuva kwamahlebezi amaningi ekugcineni kungabonakala kumaMacs.
Ikhodi yomthombo yohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Mac, i-macOS 11 Big Sur, ikhombisa okubonakala kuyikho i-ID yekhamera ye-TrueDepth, ebizwa yi-Apple kumadivayisi we-iOS njenge- "PearlCamera". Lokhu kuhlonza kusetshenziswa ohlelweni lokusebenza lwe-iOS ne-iPadOS, manje futhi kufinyelela kuma-macOS.
Uhlobo lwe-beta lwe-MacOS Big Sur lukhombisa nokuthi i-Apple ibiza ini I- "FaceDetect" ne- "BioCapture" isetshenziswe kumadivayisi we-iOS ne-iPadOS. Lobu bufakazi obucacile bokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi kufakwe uhlelo lokutholwa kobuso bekungatholakali ezinhlotsheni zangaphambilini zeMac OS, ngakho-ke kungaba yiyona ecacile.
Yengeza ukuthi lobu ubufakazi bokuqala obubaluleke ngempela mayelana nokuqalisa okungenzeka kwalobu buchwepheshe kuma-Macs, kuyiqiniso ukuthi kuye kwahletshwa ukuthi bungafika isikhathi eside, kepha babungekho ubufakazi obucace njengalesi sikhathi. Kusazobonwa ukuthi zonke ezinye izinto ezidingekayo zisetshenziswa kanjani kodwa-ke okubonakala kucace ukuthi eCupertino bazoqhubeka nokubheja ngalobu buchwepheshe bokuvula, into enengqondo uma kubhekwa imiphumela emihle etholwe ku-iPhone ne-iPad ngale minyaka. Bangafika ne-Apple Silicon, kepha le khodi ibanikeza ukusondela kwabo.
