    iPhone 16 Pro Face ID randomly comes on when nowhere near me

    Hey there. Wondering if anyone else is encountering this. Pretty much daily, multiple times a day, when I am not using my iPhone 16 Pro the Face ID randomly comes up attempting to identfy my face. Mind you it’s happening when the phone is nowhere near my face and is just sitting on the desk...

    FaceID not working on iPhone 16 Pro / iOS 18.1 beta

    This morning, Face ID on my iPhone 16 Pro suddenly stopped working (I’m currently using iOS 18.1 beta). I tried every solution on the web, but nothing has worked for me.

    Face ID stopped working on 18.0.1 (iPhone 13 Pro Max)

    No idea what happened. I just updated to 18.0.1. I had to unlock using password on the restart, that's normal. After locking it, the Face ID simply refuses to respond / unlock. Now after delay on Face ID, it then prompts for the password each time.

    iPad Pro Face ID has become so much worse for me with M4 iPad Pro (right handed)

    First world problems, but I’ve noticed that I have far more Face ID failures with my new M4 iPad Pro than my old M1 model with the new positioning of the Face ID camera. I never had a problem with Face ID before. But now, my right hand blocks the camera most of the time because my right hand is...

    iPhone 11 Pro Apple Watch unlocks iPhone for someone else

    First time it happened I thought I imagined things, recently it became obvious though. Unlock with Apple Watch is, at least for me, broken in the worst of ways. I sometimes thought that it unlocked my iPhone either very slowly or way faster than expected, sometimes I was astonished it unlocked...

I want to be able to launch an app on an old iPhone 12 without having to first unlock it, using the back tap shortcut. It'll be mounted in a...

    Don’t use TouchID or FaceID if you’re concerned about privacy

    A landmark court battle recently found that State & Federal government law enforcement agencies are allowed to compel (read that as “force”) citizens to unlock their phone if TouchID or FaceID is enabled, but they are not allowed to do so if the user unlocks the phone with a passcode that must...

    iPhone 12: 4 x faults at once, have I got a lemon?

    I've had my iPhone 12 for 2 years from new, and all of a sudden the Face ID, compass, screen lock (when you're on a call) and brightness setting all stopped working at once. This has been confirmed as hardware failures by Apple, but they don't actually specify what's caused the issues, they only...

    Face ID failed & other issues on iPhone 12

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could offer me a little tech help please? A couple of days ago I got simultaneous issues on my iPhone 12, and it wasn't after an "event" such as updating my phone, dropping it, etc - it all just randomly happened at once whilst my phone was sat on the...

    Future of the MacBook Pro notch?

    I'm considering getting a MacBook pro within the next couple years and I'm curious about peoples' thoughts about the future of the notch. I'm not super opposed to the notch in its current form, but if I could wait to get more functionality out of it (i.e. FaceID) I would. One the one hand, I've...

    2021 MacBook Pro - Wait for Face ID or take the plunge?

    So I'm a proud owner of a 2012 MacBook Pro, looking to upgrade my machine, and I absolutely adore the latest Macbook Pros! Compared to the 2012 version, it's everything and more.The notch doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I'm honestly glad that the menu bar doesn't drop down on full screen...

    Poll: How long will it take Apple to add FaceID to Mac notebooks?

    It seems certain that FaceID will come to desktop Macs first, but considering the notch is here, how long do you think it will take for Apple's notebooks to get FaceID?
