After Apple iOS 15.4 came out, friends holding iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 series models can already realize the function of wearing a mask to unlock their phones. However, friends who are using iPhones below iPhone 12, even if they upgrade the mobile phone system version to iOS 15.4, they cannot experience mask unlocking. According to the reason given by Apple, the iPhone12 and iPhone13 front cameras have deep integration technology, while other models do not have this capability.
In other words, in addition to the iPhone 12, iPhone 13 after upgrading iOS15.4, there is a strength in the hardware level with mask unlocking function, Apple's other Liu Haiping iPhones are "powerless". However, some people who learned of this news were very unconvinced, and they figured out a set of "methods" to unlock the iPhone 11 series by wearing a mask.
The details are as follows:
1. Re-record the face ID, and cover half of the face with a mask, and then record according to the system prompts.
2. In the process of recording face ID, the system will remind you to turn the head, and at this time you should be large when rotating.
3. After recording the face ID, the iPhone11 series models must keep the face parallel with the phone when unlocked.
4. If the unlocking is not successful, you can try to pull the mask to the tip of the nose, and then you can unlock the mask.
After reading this method, especially the fourth step, I probably already understood. In fact, if you're holding an iPhone 11Pro or iPhone 11Pro Max, you can unlock your phone when you pull the mask to the tip of your nose even if you don't record your Face ID in the first three steps. This is because doing so allows the area recognized by the Face ID to be enlarged and eligible to unlock the iPhone. Usually, I do this when I am too lazy to take off the mask completely in a safe area.
Even so, I'm still happy to try the method given online to unlock the iPhone 11 series by wearing a mask.
However, according to my actual test results, through the specific methods given in the first three steps above, I did not successfully unlock the iPhone 11Pro in my hand. Moreover, I tried many times in the process, but I still couldn't achieve my goal. Later, I referred to the method on the Internet: in the case of wearing a mask to unlock unsuccessfully, do not take off the mask to enter the digital unlock password, because Face ID has the function of continuous learning, so you can use such logic to achieve the purpose.
Of course, I did the same. The next time I put on a mask to unlock the iPhone 11Pro, I still couldn't succeed. Well, after many failed situations, I am reluctant to try again, and at the same time waste a mask. However, I also came to a conclusion from it: under the premise that Apple's mobile phone hardware does not support it, don't expect to unlock the mask through the so-called "shortcut". In addition, the iPhone11Pro front lens does not have deep integration technology is one of them, and personal feelings are also related to the lack of computing power of the chip. After all, apple A14, A15 performance is more powerful.
In summary, if you are holding an iPhone 11Pro, you cannot unlock your phone with a mask through the above method. If you pull the mask down between your mouth and nose, it is possible to unlock it without completely removing the mask. But what is the point of doing so? Everyone wants to be able to unlock the iPhone when the mask is fully worn. You say, right?
