App<\/a>le is the only company to truly harness a secure face unlock feature on mobile devices, but when it comes to laptop and desktop computers, Windows Hello<\/a> is king. So what\u2019s the holdup? When will Face ID finally come to the Mac? According to experts, we may need to wait until 2023.<\/p>\n

We first heard rumors of Face ID on the Mac back in 2020, when data miners found references to the protocol<\/a> in a Big Sur beta. Adding Face ID to the first Apple Silicon machines would make sense\u2014it would help differentiate the M1 MacBooks, Mac Mini, and iMac from their Intel predecessors and give existing Mac users just one more reason to upgrade. Experts like Mark Gurman predicted Face ID support in a 2021 Mac release, but things haven\u2019t worked out that way.<\/p>\n

If Apple really planned on Face ID for the 2021 iMac, it may be delaying the feature because of supply and work constraints (which\u00a0could grow worse<\/a> due to the COVID-19 Delta variant). After all, Apple can\u2019t just stick the iPhone\u2019s Face ID sensor in the Mac\u2014the parts are too thick. Engineering a slimmer Face ID sensor may not be a priority right now.<\/p>\n

A new Bloomberg<\/em> report from Mark Gurman predicts Face ID will come to the Mac in 2023. The feature will likely arrive on Apple\u2019s non-Pro iPads before it reaches any computers. Keep in mind that this is just a prediction, and that Apple\u00a0could<\/em> surprise us with the 2021 MacBook Pro release (assuming that such a release even happens<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth mentioning that some Mac users don\u2019t give a hoot about Face ID. MacBooks now feature Touch ID sensors, and Apple packages a Touch ID-equipped Magic Keyboard with its new 24-inch iMac. But don\u2019t you feel a bit envious when you see how good Windows Hello works?<\/p>\n
