FaceID with a mask
Using your face to unlock your phone is great in normal times, but less than ideal when you’re masked up and avoiding germs. Apple already has a workaround in place if you own a new enough Apple Watch, and now it’s working on a fix for the rest of us.

A bit late if I am honest, but potentially handy if the future does not quite go as we would want it to.
