Face ID will most likely show up first on the iMac or external display, and then on the MacBook.
Although Touch ID is available on Apple Mac computers, some users of the Apple brand ecosystem will no doubt appreciate the arrival of Face ID on Mac as well. Indeed, since most Macs from the Cupertino company have a built-in camera, we think this would be a perfectly logical and natural development.
Face ID will definitely show up on iMac or external display first
That being said, according to the latest newsletter from Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, Face ID will have a better chance of being introduced first on an iMac or on an external display, and then on a MacBook. Apparently, this will be directly related to the thinness of the MacBook screen, which makes it very difficult to integrate the hardware components required for this technology.

With Apple iMacs that are really thicker, integrating Face ID and the TrueDepth camera system might be easier. According to an American journalist, “Currently, there is no technology for embedding Face ID into thin MacBook screens. So if Face ID comes to Mac, I think it will be on iMac or external display first. Apple has been working in this direction for some time, the future will show us if the apple brand decides to go down this path.
At the same time, Mark Gurman does not specify whether this functionality will be available in the next generation of iMac or whether it will be necessary to wait longer before it can be used. In other words, don’t rush to see Face ID on Mac. Perhaps the technology will be available in the next generation, or maybe not. To be continued!
