Apple is testing a new and improved Face ID array that works with masks, according to leaks by Jon Prosser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prosser was able to see images and videos of about 75 prototype rigs and create a composite rendering of the alleged test device, which shows a Face ID array on an iPhone 12 with some significant changes.<\/p>\n\n\n
According to a report by Front Page Tech<\/em>, the array tested is arranged differently from the current Face ID array and appears slimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n Instead of finished iPhone models, test devices are used to minimize leaks and other problems. iPhone 12 fits into the test rig and thus bypasses the internal Face ID system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tests are carried out on a large scale with or without a mask or glasses. In addition, testers are asked to test in different environments with different styles of glasses or masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prosser’s sources, however, were confident that the test rig used “iPhone 13” Face ID technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Face ID system that can work with masks would be a great feature for the “iPhone 13.” Apple recently updated the Apple Watch to unlock the iPhone when a mask is recognized as a stopgap for different users.<\/p>\n\n\n
