> ...and the ability to unlock your iPhone using Face ID while wearing a face mask.

Unlocking the iPhone with Face ID during the pandemic has been an exercise in frustration...

!

I go to the same coffee shop a few times a week and they always think I'm struggling with Apple Pay. Of course I am not - I am just waiting for Face ID to fail so I can use the PIN. Finally changed the setting to skip Face ID for Apple Pay directly.

Just tap the Face ID icon to immediately switch to the keypad.

I never noticed that. Thanks! I guess I'm saving myself one tap now :D

The new iPhone will include a revolutionary feature where just touching your phone will unlock it, and it will not unlock if someone unknown touches it. It will be called "dactylogram scourer".
