It’s been six years since Apple delivered the revolutionary, secure Face ID with iPhone X in 2017, but it’s never made its way to Macs (despite the pointless, ridiculous, just plain awful, and, now, with Dynamic Island (better), anachronistic Inelegant Kludge™ (notch) infecting Apple’s MacBook lines). And while the words “Face ID” don’t show up once, it is essentially the same result: you can prove your identity with your face, rather than a password or fingerprint. The patent describes the system as using a “light pattern recognition module that may be incorporated within a computing device”. It would be neatly tucked into a “notch, a circle, an ellipse, a polygonal shape, a series of polygonal shapes, a curvilinear shape or the like”.
