An ideal solution, but expensive
Shortly, Apple will allow iPhone users to unlock their smartphone with their face, no matter if they are wearing a mask. This feature was seen in the beta versions of iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4, suggesting that this option casually very practical will soon be deployed to all owners of an Apple mobile.
Where it is however teasing is that it will absolutely be necessary to have an Apple Watch for the manipulation to work. The technology will first detect the connected watch connected to the iPhone, and then authorize the unlocking with Face ID. This is the condition to be fulfilled to avoid having to re-enter your code each time to access your iPhone when you wear a mask.
Apple forced to reinstate Touch ID?
