Turn it on, put on masks, hand it around people and see what happens.

being it's unreliable (often fails, but fails closed which is fine), and needs the angle changing frequently when you use it - I'd say it's ok. Apple, based on their history for this, wouldn't ship it if it wasn't at least similar to it without a mask.

 

 

 

Remember they are not looking at a flat photo (that was Samsung). It's a 3D model of your face. I expect (tho I can't find a white paper anywhere on it yet) they are focusing more data on the top half of the dot grid rather than the bottom.

It can be hit and miss, the unlock with mask on while wearing an apple watch is superior

 

No idea why they can't extend that functionality to apps that use faceid as well..
