Apple may be developing ultra-thin Face ID components for its iPhone Air 2, sparking speculation that the technology could come to Macs. A leaker noted that internal space constraints are driving this redesign, potentially paving the way for Face ID on future MacBook and iMac models.

The Mac lineup has long relied on Touch ID, while iPhones and iPads have featured Face ID since 2017. Industry observers believe the MacBook’s design limits have prevented Apple from integrating facial recognition. If ultra-thin modules become standard, that limitation may soon vanish.

A MacBook Pro redesign expected later this year could be the first opportunity for Apple to introduce Face ID. While no official confirmation exists, analysts expect gradual adoption across the Mac range. Investors are watching for signs of increased supplier orders or new patent filings.

Consumers remain split on biometric preferences. Some value Face ID’s seamless login, while others trust Touch ID’s tactile reliability. Either shift could influence accessory markets and software integrations.
