Asia has been familiar with the limitations of Face ID since it debuted, COVID just brought it to the West. It's common (as everyone is now well aware) to wear a face mask when sniffly or coughing, but also, many in Asia wear a face mask when driving a moped, to try and filter out some of the pollution. I get the vague impression that Apple is moving toward having both a thumbprint reader and Face ID, which I would welcome. It annoys me that it's taken them so long to roll out the iOS update which will let my Watch unlock my phone, that by the time I get it I probably won't be required to wear a mask in public anymore.
