This information appears to back up a report published in Bloomberg earlier this year. That report noted that: [The facial recognition sensor’s] speed and accuracy are focal points of the feature. It can scan a user’s face and unlock the iPhone within a few hundred milliseconds, the person said. It is designed to work even if the device is laying flat on a table, rather than just close up to the face.”     4K Apple TV seemingly confirmed by HomePod leak https://www.cultofmac.com/496372/4k-apple-tv-seemingly-confirmed-homepod-leak/ Over the last few weeks the HomePod’s software has revealed a number of upcoming features on unannounced products.
