It seems that Apple may update laptops in the near future MacBook and add support for the Face ID function.
In the code of the latest beta version of macOS Big Sur, a mention of the PearlCamera is noticed. This is the name of the TrueDepth system, which is used for biometric facial identification.
In addition, the FaceDetect and BioCapture identifiers were found in the OS code. Similar ones are found in iOS, where they are used for Face ID.
As for the timing of the release of this feature, this will not happen before the company releases the first laptops on ARM-based processors of its own design. The bottom line is that Face ID uses the built-in neural processor in the mobile chipset. Of course, in the CPU Intel there is no such.
Considering that the first laptops on ARM chips will be released before the end of the year, most likely the new product will be presented at the same time.
