Are you waiting for Face ID on the Mac?

Face ID might be making its way to more Apple devices in the future. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman wrote in his Power On newsletter this Sunday that Apple might be ready to bring Face ID to the Mac within a "couple of years," with products like the iPhone SE and non-Pro iPads getting the feature as well. Apple hasn't introduced the feature to these models right now to cut costs while offering security via Touch ID.

Gurman believes Apple might also shift from a notch to punch-hole design for its iPhones. According to Gurman, moving to use facial recognition sensors will give Apple "two central features: security and augmented reality." He noted that Touch ID could only provide the former. Have you been waiting for Touch ID to make its way to the Mac and your other Apple devices?
