We all cried and whined when we discovered Apples Face ID system wasnt compatible with face masks.
You might ask why theres an asterisk sign?
Its not a typo.
Its there because this new system will only work with iPhone 12 and above.
Apples reasoning behind this is that the feature requires advancements in the TrueDepth camera system.
And apparently, the pleb Face ID system on the iPhone 11 is not powerful enough.
Sadly, this mask-unlocking feature wont work with iPad Pros at the moment either.
How will this work?
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Currently, youriPhonecan recognize your face when youre trying to unlock it at an angle.
The options screen of the upcoming Face ID feature thatll work with masks in iOS 15.4.
What if I wear glasses?
For security reasons,Applewill allow up to four pairs of eyewear with each enrollment.
Okay, I have a compatible iPhone.
What do I do?
If you dont want to do that, you might have towait for a while before the update arrives.
What about other iPhones?
At this time, youre out of luck.
That’s one heck of a mixed bag.
