Overview
- Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple continues to test Face ID for Macs, but he offers no timetable and characterizes any rollout as years off.
- Recent coverage suggests any introduction could align with planned OLED, touch‑screen MacBook Pro designs expected around 2026–2027, contingent on feasibility.
- Apple has kept Touch ID as the standard for Macs, echoing a 2021 explanation from marketing executive Tom Boger that it suits users with hands on the keyboard.
- Bringing Face ID to laptops would require new sensors, revised camera modules, and display changes that add production complexity and cost.
- Work on under‑display Face ID for future iPhones could eventually enable a Mac implementation, though prior predictions have not materialized into shipping products.
