I’m surprised the setup process for every new iPhone still asks whether you want to use FaceID with a mask when 99+% of people aren’t wearing face masks any more. There are lots of features that a small percentage of people use, but they don’t get asked in the device setup process.

@gruber 99 percent of people aren’t wearing face masks -right now- The setup process Isn’t just for late September 2023 when COVID or other safety measures may be relaxed, but also for all the other times when people need to or should be wearing masks.

You said it yourself a couple of years ago that COVID might normalize mask wearing when people go out with a cold or flu, and lots of people have needed them for wildfires recently too.
