Based on previous leaks, Apple has been working on some mysterious
face detection technology. This technology codenamed “Pearl ID” should replace the Touch ID sensor altogether.
It seems like the next flagship iPhone is going to feature two front-facing cameras as well as an infrared sensor. This way, you could unlock your phone using your face even if you’re in the dark, even if you’re not looking directly at your phone.
Today’s news is a bit surprising as it means that your iPhone is going to track your face at all times. That’s how Apple can silence notifications and vibrations if you’re looking at your phone because a banner should be enough.
