All just different flavors of animal. Why? Because authentication is still active. Your iPhone is locked until such time as you jump through a biometric or input field hoop to unlock it. Never mind if you’re wearing a mask and sunglasses, or gloves or your finger is damp, or your hands are full or you’re in a rush. So, what do you do? Well, if you’re Apple… If you’re Apple, maybe you destroy Face ID. At least as a single point of active authentication. And then you replace it, superset it really, no, not with Touch ID, but with something just way, way better. Magic ID… no, that’s a terrible name, like Tiberius. Smart ID. Let’s go with that! And stay with me here, because this could end up being your favorite new iPhone feature… basically ever!
