For example, it has now become a norm, and rightly so, that you would wear a face mask whenever you are going out. This is the sort of thing that would potentially end up changing the way you would approach a lot of things all in all, but for the most part in the world of tech it is having an impact on facial recognition.
Apple has been offering facial recognition technology in its phones for quite some time now due to the reason that it is an effective and quite flashy way of making it so that people can end up unlocking their phones, but the truth of the situation is that due to the reason that people are using face masks a lot more often this means that facial recognition might not work quite as well as it might have otherwise which can be a pretty big deal if you think about it.
This is why Apple has focused on updating their facial recognition technology in order to make it so that your phone can be unlocked even if you are wearing a facemask by focusing on other areas of your face that are still visible, although some would say that this might create certain security problems so this is by no means a long term solution.
As pointed out by @Sonikku_a2, if you’re wearing a mask, iOS 13.5 goes straight to the passcode screen if you try to unlock with Face ID (keypad not shown because iOS hides it in screen recordings) pic.twitter.com/bQCzu5u20p— Guilherme Rambo (@_inside) April 29, 2020
