Face ID

Face ID refers to Apple's facial recognition technology in devices equipped with TrueDepth front-facing cameras and DOT projector.
==History==
Face ID was first introduced in the iPhone X in November 2017. It is also supported in the 3rd-generation iPad Pro and later, as well as recent iPhone models without a home button.
In early 2022, Apple began beta testing iOS 15.4, which allows for using Face ID while wearing a face mask by focusing on recognition of facial features around the eyes. However, this option is somewhat less secure than full facial recognition.Testing iOS 15.4's New Face ID With a Mask Feature by Juli Clover, MacRumors. 2022-01-28. When it was released on March 14, 2022, support for facial recognition with a mask was limited to the iPhone 12 series and higher.iOS 15.4 beta 2 includes new API to enable ‘Tap to Pay on iPhone’ by Filipe Espósito, 9to5Mac. 2022-02-08.iOS 15.4’s new ‘Use Face ID with a Mask’ option limited to iPhone 12 and newer by Chance Miller at 9to5Mac. 2022-03-14.
