Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, Aug. 15-Apple's current MacBook is equipped with "touching" bangs, but it doesn't have Face ID facial recognition on the iPhone.

Apple officials said earlier that the Face ID module could not be loaded because of the MacBook Pro screen thickness limit.

Apple has begun to install sensors in devices such as MacBook Pro and iMac, which is expected to bring Face ID recognition to such devices in the future, according to a new patent.

CTOnews.com found that in Apple's "optical recognition module for identifying users of computing devices" patent, there is a MacBook with facial recognition function. Apple's patent application mainly "emphasizes how the device uses the 'optical recognition module' to store users' biological information."

The ▲ map comes from the patent map issued by Apple.

▲ Source Patent Map issued by Apple Apple indicated in the patent that in order to prevent unauthorized users from accessing users' sensitive data, Apple will integrate "systems and mechanisms for verifying user identity" in its devices.

It is reported that the "optical pattern recognition module" will be located in a "partition" of the device, which can be "adjacent to or above the display layer". It includes a transmitter that can emit specific light and a sensor that can detect the reflected light of an object, roughly the same principle as the current Face ID sensor technology used by iPhone and iPad.

Considering that Apple's iMac is actually thick and wide enough to accommodate existing iPhone or iPad FaceID sensors, Apple's current "optical recognition module" patent map is more of a reference, but it does not rule out the possibility that Apple will add bangs to the iMac to achieve "FaceID" facial recognition.
