Face ID is a technology that everyone who tries it loves. However, we only have it on iPhones and iPads, so many people would like other devices, such as MacBookthey also had it, since we do not always have a keyboard with Touch ID.
That is why rumors increasingly place these computers with technology. facial recognition. However, it is something that increases the price of these, and that cannot always be implemented, although now things seem to take another form.
Will MacBooks have Face ID?
There is a question that has been plaguing anyone who uses a Mac daily for years: why has the iPhone had Face ID for so long and the Mac still doesn't have something similar? Well, a rumor appears again that, at the very least, gives a little hope.
It's not that Apple has announced anything, far from it, but there are signs (according to Leaker Instant Digital) that the company is playing with the idea of using facial recognition on Macs. It wouldn't be just taking the current camera and that's it, but rather something more elaborate, with sensors capable of identifying you well and without errors rare
The truth is that it would fit quite well with how we use the Mac today. You sit down, lift the lid or wake up the screen and… that's it, inside. Without entering passwords, without Touch ID, without Apple Watch nearby. Just look at the screen and continue with what you were doing.
Right now the unlocking system with the Apple Watch works, but it is not the same. You depend on wearing it, on it being unlocked, and on the connection not failing. Face ID would be more direct, simpler and more in line with what we already use on the iPhone and iPad, however, it would be developed to detect us more precisely, since, unlike the iPhone, we do not look so directly at the sensor when opening the lid of a Mac.
Of course, it is advisable not to get too excited. Apple tests many things internally that never make it to the final product. This may remain an experiment, or it may take years to become something real. It wouldn't be the first time. Especially if the cost is high, since it is not such a necessary improvement, and increasing the price to incorporate it would be something that many would not like.
Even so, the simple fact that it is being talked about is already a good sign. It means that Apple has not closed the door completely and that, sooner or later, the Mac could make that leap. And when it happens, it probably won't be something they announce in a big way, but rather one of those improvements that you use every day without thinking too much about them, since it wouldn't be too surprising, although we would like to try it.
And you, do you think Face ID is necessary on Macs, or is Touch ID more than enough? If it really does not involve a cost for the user, it would be a great novelty, but if not, not everyone may want it to be implemented.
