Only works with new iPhones
However, you can’t use the new feature on all iPhone models with Face ID. 9to5Mac according to this only works with the following iPhones:
Thus, the iPhone X, iPhone XS and iPhone 11 were excluded. One reason for this may be that a deeper analysis of the eye area requires more processing power. Perhaps Apple will also release this feature for older models during development.
This must also be taken into account
There are other restrictions as well. According to tech journalist Federico Viticci, you can unlock your iPhone with a mask if you’re wearing glasses, but you’ll need to put them on first. According to him, an Apple cell phone will no longer recognize you in sunglasses and a mask.
