Today a rumor has jumped to the media that if I tell you the truth, I wondered a few weeks ago when I tried to unlock my iPhone X horizontally. When I say this it is because Apple has created a new unlocking system to which, as you already know they called Face ID and it unlocks the iPhone when you place it vertically in front of you.
The Face ID system for the iPhone has a mandatory orientation and it is not like Touch ID that even if we have the device horizontally it can be unlocked. Given that in the next iPhone X with a larger screen inch, a Face ID with a horizontal camera could be released to give a twist to the concept of this unlocking mode that, without a doubt, it has to evolve much more.
Given all this, we can think if Apple is also preparing a MacBook computer with horizontal Face ID so that the current Touch ID sensor that first arrived in the 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. It is not unreasonable to think that Apple implements the type of screen of the iPhone X in MacBook and other devices to be able to take full advantage of the size of the screen and that is in a 12-inch MacBook body we could go up to almost 13 inches taking advantage of the gear that currently exists.
In order to do that and on top of it increase the security of the equipment, it would not hurt if the aforementioned Face ID arrived, which should be horizontal Face ID taking into account the position of the MacBook screen.
If we analyze the iOS system a little in the iPhone Plus, when we put them horizontally the icons rotate and are placed horizontally and that is why Apple would be thinking that the Face ID should work in those inches horizontally and not only vertically as in the current iPhone X. What do you think about it?
