Earlier this month, we informed you that the Cupertino company had acquired a patent related to the facial recognition function. And on Thursday, it filed a new patent application that includes other ways the biometric facial recognition system could work.

This sensor detects deviations in the tilt of the device so that it can iPhone detect faces even when moving. The device could recognize faces by displaying a live camera on the screen with a highlighted area where the user must place their face for biometric recognition to work.
This patent is proof that the future iPhone could have advanced biometric facial recognition software.

It's like filters on snapchatchatat ?
Face unlock doesn't work for me. How iphone I will unlock it in the dark, how will I unlock it unobtrusively, maybe at a meeting, in the cinema or in a crowded tram standing among people... will I be fooling around with my mobile phone in front of my face?? I don't know if this is progress or just a fad like curved display...
This will come when it's comfortable and pointing the phone at the face is gone, don't worry, when it's fully functional and not dependent only on the camera, iPhone will use it...
Also, a kind of display of the live camera as written in the article is stupid, the user does not need to see how iPhone reads and iPhone needs to capture without restricting the user, that's the point of this feature...
