Apple may be bringing one of the iPhone's most controversial design features to the Mac
The application covers a method of biometric authentication for laptops that would include sensors capable of emitting light at the user and then detecting the pattern of light reflected back to verify their identity. That sounds similar to Face ID, which is found on certain iPhone and iPad models and works by capturing an infrared image of the user's face and creating a depth map.
Based on images found within the filing, it also looks like Apple would redesign the Mac's display housing to include a notch just like the one found on its most recent iPhones. All of Apple's new iPhones, starting with the iPhone X and later, have adopted the notch cutout for housing the Face ID sensors and the front camera.
Apple's patent filing suggests the company could consider taking a similar approach if it were to bring Face ID to the Mac. The document includes images of of both Mac laptops and what appears to be a standalone Mac monitor with the notch-shaped cutout.

Pence thanks Apple for donating 9 million N95 face masks to health-care workersVice President Mike Pence said Tuesday that Apple Inc. has donated 9 million N95 face masks to health-care workers amid the coronavirus crisis. Apple CEO Tim Cook had tweeted Saturday that the company would donate "millions of masks for health professionals in the US and Europe." Pence made his comments during a White House press briefing late Tuesday, thanking Apple and other companies, such as Ford Motor Co. , 3M and McDonald's Corp. for the "level of generosity" they are showing to the American people. Apple is the latest tech company to come to the aid of overwhelmed health-care workers. Facebook Inc. earlier donated its stockpile of 720,000 face masks, and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk acquired 1,200 ventilators from China and is sending them to U.S. hospitals. Apple and Facebook apparently had the face-mask stockpile for employees following years of serious wildfires in California.
