NYC Asks Apple To Make It Easier To Unlock Phone Without Removing Masks

by the Associated Press — to Cook on Sunday urging Apple to “accelerate the deployment of new technologies and solutions that further protect customers in the era of COVID-19.”

Apple has already made changes to its software since the pandemic began, including allowing users to access the passcode field immediately after the user swiped up from the bottom of the screen in IOS version 13.5. The MTA chief said there were reports of New Yorkers not wearing their masks on the subway and said his agency would be willing to work with Apple to make people aware of the change to Apple’s software.

In response, Apple said that it was “fully committed” to “continuing to work with the MTA to support their efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”On Monday, many Apple users were reporting issues unlocking their phone with masks on, and the issue was trending on Twitter. “Face ID is designed to work with your eyes, nose, and mouth visible. Users can still unlock their devices while wearing a mask by entering their passcode,” wrote Apple Support to a user on Twitter: Only 20% of New York’s 5.

Oddly, had zero issues while wearing a mask (without any type of glasses).

Smh. Diblasio is a mental case. The purpose of facial recognition on the phone is to make it impossible for anyone but the owner to open the phone. That's the reason people buy it

Are people seriously SO LAZY that they can’t wait 2 SECONDS for the keypad to appear to put in their code

Jauvilivi lolllll

Use your f***** finger prints to unlock your damn phone

Gold shortages are here. At $2000+ gold, companies like Sandstorm will make so much $$$. Great interview. Hedge funds are courting Sandstorm! Already doubled. On to $30/share.

Smh

Because people can’t remember 4 numbers to unlock the phone?

Yes! We need this

Why did u repost this again. STOP WRITING NON SENSE ARTICLES FORBES

It’s the fact that apple should stop being so damn stubborn and follow other major companies who made more options for their consumers. It’s working fine for them, they’re not complaining.

They already shortened the time before the CODE entry pisplay to two seconds or a firm wake up press of the screen.

Your brain don't need mask..

🤣 uhh passcode...?

saveourchildren defundhollywood

That’s because people don’t know the definition of security...

Y’all are really too lazy to just type a password in.

Errrrr...who takes off their mask to unlock an iPhone?

You need to remove mask to unlock phone? Put in your damn passcode!

JaroslawKuzniar Taaa bo to jest priority w tych czasach 🤦🏼‍♀️🦠😷

If only there was an option to enter a 4 digit code. That would be super easy.

There is that thing called passcode?

... that finger ID was way better..

Ritchie Torres: When NYC gets a cold, the Bronx gets the fluNew York City Councilman Ritchie Torres, who won the Democratic primary for New York's 15th Congressional District, tells Ali Velshi that 'not only has the Bronx seen the most economic struggle, it has gotten the least economic support.” Refer to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. That area was nothing 10, 15 years ago. Look at it now. You’re basically NYC. Hottest real estate market on this planet. I mean seriously...WTF! andrewcuomo: ''Bringing Amazon to NY [would have been] an economic win not just for Queens and NYC, but for the entire region. [A] small group politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community . . . They should be held accountable for this lost . . .' Well yeah you’re a blue state that is constantly berating the POTUS. Then ask him for Federal Aid. The New Yorkers have brought it to themselves by voting for soft jawed losers. They only want to virtue signal and run out of money.
