The iPhone 13 will bring improved Face ID to work with skins

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced the habit of wearing a face mask and a new obstacle to the ideal functioning of Face ID technology. With the launch of the iPhone 13 next month, Apple wants to fix this problem.

As the post points out Frontpagetech.com, Apple is internally testing a new Face ID system. The goal is to understand how this behaves with the user with a mask and cloudy glasses.

Apple employees are already testing the new Face ID

The source reveals that Apple has developed a prototype case for the iPhone 12 with a new Face ID system. This cover, when installed on the smartphone, replaces the standard face recognition module of the computer.

The module shown in the image above has the same dimensions as the CAD files already revealed for the iPhone 13. In fact, everything points to the same set of sensors that Apple will put in its next smartphones.

The distribution of this cover prototype is another effort by Apple to prevent information leaks. Otherwise, the company refuses to provide iPhone 13 test drives to its employees, preventing images and other details of the iPhone from going out the doors.

Apple employees are instructed to use the new Face ID system while wearing their face shields. Others were instructed to wear their masks with and without glasses.

In both cases, the Face ID system is configured without the mask, like any other user. Subsequently, its operation is evaluated with the user trying to unlock their iPhone with their personal mask and glasses.

Also, there is a greater concern when testing this technology with fogged glass. A very common scenario for those who wear glasses and their protective mask.

These reports reveal Apple’s efforts to test a new Face ID that could be just as functional in times of a pandemic. A positive response to complaints from its users in recent months.

Currently, Apple allows you to bypass Face ID with the help of Apple Watch. This can serve as a means of authentication while the user is wearing a mask, but it is far from offering the same level of security as the iPhone’s facial recognition system.
