How does Apple Watch recognize you now? By skin contact. We fasten the watch to our hands and can immediately verify our identity. As long as the equipment touches our skin, there is no need for further verification. But when you remove the watch from your wrist, you need to verify your identity again. Apple thinks about other ways to authenticate.
Apple can schedule a Face ID for Apple Watch
Recently, Apple filed a rather new patent for Apple Watch. The company seems to be exploring the field of facial recognition, a technology like Face ID that has been used in the company’s latest smartphone. iPhone X can recognize our face. It is also one of the most expensive phones on the market, although who can afford to spend about 5 thousand zlotys, the tenant can buy it in Polish shops.
It’s known that Face ID will probably also appear on future iPads, and now it looks like it’s going to hit the watches from Apple. Interestingly, the patent was introduced during Facebook ID development, which means that Apple may have been working on transferring the technology to watches for a long time. There, however, it was called “user identification,” probably to avoid leaks in the then unpublished Face ID.
As is sometimes the case with patents, we know. The fact that Apple has reported this does not mean the machine. That the company is already in the production phase. It may take years for a technology of this kind to be implemented. It may also not do so at all, but merely reserve for financial reasons any attempts to do so. Time will tell you if you’re going to see Face ID in Apple Watches as well.
