HomeCommon ProblemGurman says the technology to embed Face ID into a MacBook display 'doesn't exist'

(Mark Gurman) claims that Apple’s first Mac equipped with Face ID is unlikely to be a MacBook because the technology required to embed authentication hardware into a thin notebook display still does not exist.

Gurman 表示,将 Face ID 嵌入 MacBook 显示器的技术“不存在”
Gurman's latest thoughts on the subject are expressed in the Q&A section of his latest newsletter, "Power On." Gurman mentioned the possibility of "Face ID" on Mac

Face ID was used in the original M1 iMac. Because Apple laptop screens are so thin, the iMac is the thickest Mac with a built-in display. There's no technology yet to integrate Face ID into a thin MacBook display. I think that if Face ID technology is used in Mac models, it will first be applied to iMac or external monitors. Apple has definitely been working on it, but time will tell if they will launch it.

When the iPhone Future Macs will use "Face ID."

Speaking on the topic in July 2021, Gurman said he believed Apple intended to launch its first Mac with "Face ID" "within a few years," and that Apple originally planned a 24-inch model in 2021. “Face ID” was added to the iMac, but its inclusion was delayed due to the all-in-one 2021 redesign.

Apple is rumored to be testing ‌Face ID‌ for its next larger ‌‌iMac‌‌ (tentatively called the "‌iMac‌ Pro"), but the feature has not been confirmed and it's unclear whether ‌‌Face ID‌‌ will make its way in The release version of this machine.

There are practical issues with implementing "Face ID" on a Mac, besides technical limitations. For example, using Face ID to unlock your Mac from sleep might seem fairly simple, but using it to authenticate an action like a purchase might mean it has to be confirmed by pressing a physical button, or possibly in conjunction with Touch ID.

As for "Face ID" on future iPhones, at least for some iPhone 14 models, Apple is working to eliminate the gap in the hardware required to accommodate "Face ID." Display analyst Ross Young has said that he expects to see both a pill-shaped cutout and a circular cutout on some iPhone 14 models. The circular cutout will likely house the ‌Face ID‌ dot projector, while the pill-shaped cutout will include the front-facing camera, ‌Face ID‌ infrared camera, and possibly other components.

In addition to the "Face ID" issues on the Mac, Gurman's latest newsletter reiterates that Apple plans to host a virtual event on Tuesday, March 8 to unveil new iPhone SE and iPad Air models. Both models will be equipped with A15 chip and 5G support.

mPDF

mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
