I think simonh is saying it was economical for them to re-use the design from the iPhone ICs, which do handle facial recognition. That sounds pretty dubious to me, though.
- gumby 7y agoI assume they used a version of the the iPhone button which included a Secure Enclave and finger recognition bonded to the sensor. However the T1/T2 do other stuff like disk encryption that AFAIK the phone does not have. The two devices (iOS devices and Macs) share quite a bit of DNA but have many different design criteria.
