Future iOS devices could be unlocked by your face, and not fooled by still photos. Image: Patently Apple. Swipe to unlock could be a thing of the past for next-gen iOS devices. Like current Galaxy Nexus users, iOS users could soon be using facial recognition technology to lock or unlock their iDevices.
As described in a recently discovered patent, Apple's method would sense when a user is approaching the device — for example, if it's seated in a dock, and the user walks toward it. The device would then use its image processor to execute facial recognition to unlock the device, all with low battery penalties.
