Apple Store app teases a new MacBook with Face ID
Apple introduced a notched display with the MacBook Pro 2021, but unlike iPhones, none of the Macs have yet integrated Face ID. However, it appears that this is going to change, since the company’s official Store app now depicts a Mac with a Face ID symbol on display.
Of course, this isn’t surprising, given Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, a trusted source on Apple news, recently stated that Apple was testing Face ID for Mac. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, a corporate marketing employee explained why it has not yet been deployed.
In the interview, the employee said that the Touch ID is thought to be more convenient for a MacBook. After all, the button is near your hands when you’re turning the laptop on. However, the interview didn’t give any clear hints of Apple ruling out the possibility of adding Face ID.
Worth noting that this Face ID illustration on a MacBook doesn’t mean Apple will be implementing it anytime soon. As Gurman notes, it’s possible that the graphic designer had advanced knowledge about an upcoming MacBook Pro with the feature. However, it’s also possible that the illustration is just an oversight.
The same graphic can also be found on Apple’s website, and it doesn’t have the Face ID icon on the MacBook. This further reinforces the fact that the illustration on the Store app could simply be an error. Regardless, Apple is expected to reveal new MacBooks with the M4 series of chipsets this October (256 GB M4 iPad Pro curr. $1,189.99 on Amazon). So, you don’t need to wait long to see whether these new laptops will feature Face ID.
The Apple Store app’s new graphic on the main page puts a Face ID logo on a MacBook. Not sure the creator of the graphic would know if the new models will have Face ID or not, to be clear. pic.twitter.com/KApoTjQ8s3
