On January 28, Apple pushed the iOS 15.4 developer preview to iPhone users, bringing an epic new feature: wearing a mask and using Face ID. After upgrading to the iOS 15.4 development version, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series users can use Face ID for unlocking and payment functions while wearing a mask. PS: Face ID = Face ID
Up to now, to experience this new feature, you need to meet two conditions at the same time: 1. The phone model must be the iPhone 12 series or the iPhone 13 series. 2, the system version must be upgraded to iOS 15.4 Developer Edition. After upgrading to the iOS 15.4 development version, you can see the entrance and selection menu of "Wear a mask and use Face ID" in the welcome screen.
In the Settings - Face ID and Password interface, iOS 15.4 development version added the "Wear a mask to use Face ID" switch, after opening it, enter face information according to the prompts. In order to better capture the unique features around the eyes, the system supports the addition of different glasses, which is very friendly to users like Qi Ji who need to wear myopic glasses. It should be noted that Face ID does not support sunglasses due to the need to capture the features around the eyes.
When the above operations are completed, users can easily unlock their iPhones with a mask, which is basically the same as the experience of not wearing a mask. However, when the fog on the lens of the glasses is too large, the experience of face ID will drop significantly, and the glasses can quickly return to normal after wiping the glasses with a tissue. Qi Ji also tested the payment situation of face ID when wearing a mask, and has perfectly adapted to Alipay and WeChat wallet, and the era of eating by face can finally pass.
For the average user, Qi Ji does not recommend that anyone upgrade to this version. There are three reasons for this: 1. There are system bugs in the developer version, which will affect the user experience and normal use. 2. Upgrading to the developer version is simple, but it requires a certain hands-on ability to brush back to the official version, and it is easy to lose data. 3, iOS 15.4 official version will be pushed later, a little wait is the best choice for ordinary users, almost no one.
The push of the iOS 15.4 development version not only solves the problem that it is difficult for new iPhone users to wear masks to unlock, but also smashes the rumors that "the iPhone should use under-screen fingerprint recognition". For those netizens who did not choose the new iPhone because of the unlocking trouble, it is also a good choice to buy a new iPhone now: users with a good budget recommend choosing the iPhone 13 series, and normal use for 3 to 5 years is not a big problem. For users with a limited budget, the iPhone 12 series of price reduction promotions is also a good choice. At present, the 128GB version of the iPhone 12 is priced at 5199 yuan, and netizens with needs can pay attention to it.
Qi Yan Ji:
For wearing a mask to use the Face ID function, Qi Ji's idea is like this: when the iPhone 13 series was released, the digital circle was speculating that the iPhone 13 series would add this function, and after watching the conference, it was disappointed. Unexpectedly, nearly 5 months later, Apple added this feature through OTA, and what was even more unexpected was that the iPhone 12 series also supported the feature. As for why the old iPhone is not supported, it should be caused by the chip and hardware configuration, and the failure to keep up with the computing power will lead to a sharp decline in experience and security.
I am Qi Ji, and the above is Qi Ji's idea. Code word original is not easy, like remember to pay attention to Qi Ji's ideas, you can also like, forward and comment. More interesting digital information is waiting for you to talk about. Pictures from the Internet, invasion and deletion!
