The lack of Face ID on the Mac is something that continues to surprise, especially after Apple introduced the notch on the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. As a biometric security feature, it's been huge on the iPhone and iPad Pro. And it could finally be on the way to the Mac.
That's if a new patent is any indication, anyway. This isn't the first time Apple has been said to have designs on bringing Face ID to the Mac of course, but this new patent appears to deal with one problem that previously hampered Apple's efforts — it might now have a way to put Face ID into the super-thin displays of its portable Macs.
