Started cleaning up and locking down my iPad Air when I discovered I had somehow required Touch ID to open the Shortcuts app, which is not an option. Retracing my steps, I found it’s because I required it for the Home app, which makes sense because home automations are available in Shortcuts. Does the same on my iPad Pro with Face ID, both on iPadOS 26.5.2. Does not work on my iPhone 13 mini, also 26.5.2.

Składany iPhone na pierwszych zdjęciach. Zaskakujący krok wstecz i tajna broń Apple
Wielu sądziło, że po tylu latach czekania na składanego iPhone’a, Apple od razu zaprezentuje urządzenie absolutnie bezkompromisowe. Najnowsze zdjęcia makiet projektowych, udostępnione przez niezawodnego Sonny’ego Dicksona, weryfikują te oczekiwania.
Pierwszy w historii iPhone Fold (lub Ultra) będzie sprzętem niezwykle intrygującym, ale nie uniknie kilku zaskakujących kompromisów.
Paszport zamiast telewizyjnego pilota
Z udostępnionych atrap wyłania się obraz urządzenia, które zrywa z proporcjami znanymi chociażby z pierwszych generacji Samsunga Galaxy Fold. Złożony iPhone ma przypominać raczej notatnik lub paszport – będzie niższy i szerszy od klasycznych smartfonów, oferując zewnętrzny ekran o przekątnej 5,5 cala. Taki zabieg sprawia, że zewnętrzny wyświetlacz będzie po prostu użyteczny na co dzień, bez wymuszania na systemie nienaturalnego ściskania interfejsu.

Po rozłożeniu użytkownicy otrzymają do dyspozycji ekran o przekątnej około 7,8 cala, w którego lewym górnym rogu ukryto pojedynczy aparat do selfie. Z tyłu znajdziemy zaledwie dwa obiektywy, co sugeruje, że Apple mogło postawić na kompromis w module fotograficznym, choć ostateczna specyfikacja aparatów pozostaje nieznana.
Szokujący powrót do przeszłości. Gdzie jest Face ID?
Największym zaskoczeniem i zarazem dowodem na to, że inżynierowie w Cupertino wciąż walczą z fizyką, jest kwestia biometrii. Zgodnie z przeciekami, najdroższy i najbardziej innowacyjny iPhone w ofercie zostanie pozbawiony technologii Face ID.
Składana konstrukcja i dążenie do zminimalizowania grubości ekranu najwyraźniej uniemożliwiły zaimplementowanie skomplikowanego modułu kamer TrueDepth. W zamian użytkownicy będą musieli przeprosić się z technologią Touch ID – czytnik linii papilarnych zostanie zintegrowany z bocznym przyciskiem zasilania. Biorąc pod uwagę, jak mocno Apple zintegrowało skanowanie twarzy ze swoim ekosystemem, jest to jeden z najbardziej zaskakujących kompromisów konstrukcyjnych.
Status urządzenia „pierwszej generacji” podkreśla też doniesienie o kolorach. Dickson sugeruje, że smartfon zadebiutuje wyłącznie w jednym, białym wykończeniu. To iście apple’owski standard – warto przypomnieć, że pierwszy iPhone z 2007 roku oraz oryginalny iPad również nie dawały klientom żadnego wyboru w kwestii barwy obudowy.
Prawdziwa przewaga tkwi w oprogramowaniu
Dlaczego więc ktokolwiek miałby kupić sprzęt, który sprzętowo wydaje się mieć pewne braki względem klasycznego iPhone’a? Oprócz legendarnej już jakości wykonania (plotki mówią o niemal całkowicie niewidocznym zagięciu na ekranie), Apple może dysponować przewagą, której konkurenci długo nie byli w stanie osiągnąć – ogromną biblioteką aplikacji tabletowych rozwijaną od lat dla iPada.
Rozłożony, 7,8-calowy ekran to niemal dokładny odpowiednik iPada mini. Podczas gdy ekosystem Androida przez lata zmagał się z problemem optymalizacji aplikacji pod składane ekrany, Apple zaoferuje użytkownikom dojrzały i gotowy ekosystem tabletowy już w dniu premiery. Uruchamiając iPhone’a Fold, nie dostaniemy sztucznie rozciągniętego Instagrama, ale pełnoprawne wersje aplikacji z iPadOS, które idealnie wypełnią tę przestrzeń. I wszystko wskazuje na to, że to właśnie to oprogramowanie będzie największym asem w rękawie Tima Cooka.

#Handy perfekt absichern: So schützt Du Dein Gerät gegen Zugriff.
When the #police confiscate your phone, a forensic race begins. What law enforcement agencies can actually do with tools like Cellebrite and #GrayKey, what they can't, and how you can specifically protect yourself.
Since the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) ruling of March 13, 2025 (Case No. 2 StR 232/24), forced unlocking via #fingerprint and #FaceID during a court-ordered search is legal. Your body is no longer a protected area. Your knowledge is: #PINs and #passwords cannot be forced—nemo tenetur. Those who deactivate biometrics in time are protected. Those who don't are not.
The crucial factor: the device's state at the time of confiscation.

How to Overcome Apple’s Face ID Lockouts
If you’re an Apple iPhone user, your phone likely utilizes Face ID biometrics to authenticate you and unlock your phone’s features. While this authentication system seems fine when it works, what happens when it fails? Not what you’d expect. Clearly, Apple didn’t think the failure design through. Let’s explore.
What is Face ID?
Face ID uses a series of hardware technologies including infrared, lidar and front facing cameras to scan your face and recognize you. It was touted by Apple as a better alternative to Touch ID, a fingerprint scanner, which was available on earlier iPhone models (and some current models too). Let’s just say that I prefer Touch ID over Face ID for various reasons, but I digress.
Face ID works fine under most circumstances, but there are conditions where Face ID could fail and prevent you from getting into your phone to perform critical diagnostic and/or troubleshooting features (or even backing it up onto your computer).
When you hold your phone to your face, the camera(s) scan your face for a number of key features which are then used to identify you no matter what angle or lighting (more or less) your face may be in. The reliability of this scanning technology is all dependent on the scanning hardware functioning 100% properly. We all know that hardware is prone to failure, either hard failure in the hardware itself or even soft failure by such things as poor lighting conditions, blocking the sensors or interference. Whatever the failure reason, Face ID has some important concerns and bugs that Apple needs to address.
Face ID Failure
This is the crux issue in Face ID that leads to all other related problems. Let’s begin with some relevant context. When you log into your favorite website or app, you’ll need credentials. Often, these consist of a username and password combination. There may be extended ways you can get authenticated beyond these two pieces of data, such as sending a one time SMS code, using an authenticator app, prompting you to press ‘accept’ in an app on another device or even using your voice, when calling into certain phone systems.
Typically, when one authentication type fails, developers offer one or more backup redundant authentication systems to help you get logged in. For example, if you’ve lost your password, sites allow you to reset your password. Resetting your password has you walk through various steps to identify that you own that account, usually by asking key questions like Name, Birth Date, Home Address or any other information that only you may know. You can often even call the support team at a website and ask them to help you get your password reset or cleared. These redundant designs prevent users from landing in dead end failures, as long as you have various other identifying data on hand to prove that you are you.
Not with Face ID… :(
Apple’s Bad Face ID Implementation
Apple created Face ID so that should Face ID fail to authenticate, it leads to a true dead end failure condition. There’s no additional way to authenticate with Face ID beyond that Face ID failure. When Face ID fails, it fails hard and it fails done. Even though the iPhone has the ability to access and request alternative identifying information, such a passcode, requesting and using your Apple ID credentials, requesting identity on other Apple devices and/or using an SMS code, NONE of these other authentication systems are used or available when Face ID fails! Nope. Apple just dead ends Face ID failures into nothingness. Face ID works or it doesn’t. When it doesn’t… yeah, here we open…
Pandora’s Box (aka Stolen Device Protection)
Apple Developers, in their infinite wisdom, have chosen to lock many critical troubleshooting and corrective features behind a successful Face ID verification. One might be thinking, “Well, that seems secure enough. So, what’s the problem?” Let me tell you.
One such feature locked behind Face ID verification is Device Protection under Face ID settings. If the Device Protection feature is toggled on, there are a number of things that Device Protection controls, including the ability (or not) to toggle Device Protection off. Another feature locked by Device Protection is the ability to use the Face ID Reset Data function, which becomes restricted and unusable when Face ID fails to verify.
This leads to a circular problem. Can’t verify with Face ID. Can’t reset Face ID’s biometric verification data to attempt to fix Face ID. Because the Reset Data function remains greyed out without a successful Face ID verification, you’re essentially locked out of the feature you need most to try to FIX Face ID. Not even Apple Support or the Apple Store can help you solve this dilemma.
Other critical features like a local Device Reset or a local Device Wipe are also locked behind Face ID when Device Protection is enabled. Once again, critical troubleshooting and corrective steps are eliminated simply because Face ID fails to verify.
How might this impact you?
There are a number of scenarios where Face ID failing to authenticate your face may affect you:
- You cannot attempt to fix Face ID if Device Protection is enabled and Face ID fails to authenticate.
- You cannot reset the device locally because Face ID fails to authenticate.
- You cannot wipe the device to factory settings because Face ID fails to authenticate.
- You can’t use many apps that rely on Face ID to authenticate you when Face ID fails.
And no, the passcode doesn’t help you here and neither does your Apple ID password. If you receive a used iPhone from a family member (or even from a used phone seller) and you want to wipe it and set it up new for yourself, you cannot do this. When Face ID was originally enabled, that means the phone will need to see the original owner’s face to unlock Face ID to enable a local factory reset and wipe options in settings.
This is particularly problematic when the device is shipped cross country and the Face ID person is not in close proximity. To solve, this means shipping the device back to the person, having them perform the wipe and then having the device shipped back. Let me just say here that SHIPPING IS EXPENSIVE! Best to avoid this back and forth shipping.
The unnecessary shipping can be avoided in used phone purchases if the seller fully wipes the device to factory defaults before shipping. However with family members, they often simply turn old phones off and forget about them. Then hand them over just as they are to other family members, leaving situations like the above.
But Wait, There’s More!!!
Apple does offer a feature that’s fairly sledge-hammery, but this feature will let you at least get the phone out of your Apple ID account as long as you own more than one iOS or MacOS device and the device exists in the “Find My” app OR you have a computer with a browser and can log into the iCloud.com website. The “Find My” app offers a critical security feature that allows you to remotely wipe your Apple devices to factory defaults, even if the device is not currently in your possession. The device will, however, need to be connected to the Internet to receive and perform the request. If the device is in your possession, there’s no problem at all. If it’s lost or stolen, it all depends on timing. If you can see the device is active and pinging in the “Find My” app, then you can wipe it.
When you buy a new iPhone, the first time you connect it to your Apple ID, this action automatically enrolls the device in the “Find My” app for tracking. You don’t need to manually add devices to this app. Apple often makes these things simple and easy for new users. This is one of those apps that “just works.”
The good thing about the “Find My” app wipe is that because it’s a remote wipe using another device on your Apple ID (usually performed because a device is lost or stolen, but can be used for other purposes), this remote wipe works around all security on the device itself, including Face ID. Meaning, no matter what security settings you have set up on the device, the remote wipe will do its thing without needing to touch the device at all.
There are some important things to consider about using “Find My” app to wipe your device, though. This wipe does as it sounds. It wipes all settings, data and information from the specific device. If you have photos or videos on the device, these will be wiped. The wipe feature erases everything back to factory defaults with the exception of ONE critical thing.
The wiped device will be placed into an Activation Lock (Cloud Locked) status. This means that in order to reactivate and use the device again, the original owner must type in their Apple ID credentials (login and password) to unlock the device for reuse. Once that’s done, the device is basically as if it’s brand new and is available to be set up again as though it were a new phone.
There are a few downsides, though. The wipe is just wee bit sledge-hammery when all you’re needing to do is something simple, like clearing out Face ID data. Because the “Find My” app lists ALL of your devices in a single convenient location, you will need to make absolutely sure that you have selected the correct device BEFORE sending out the wipe instruction. Don’t make a mistake here! Choosing the wrong device name means it will wipe that device instead. Make sure you name your devices properly for easy identification and double check that you’ve selected the correct device! You don’t want to wipe you or your spouse’s current phone accidentally. Caution is in order here.
However, the “Find My” wiping feature does mean that you can at least get your iPhone back into a workable state to begin setting it up again. If your phone has been backed up recently, then you won’t really lose all that much other than the time it takes wipe and restore the phone from your most recent backup, assuming you can get the phone back or you have it in your possession. You are backing up your phone’s data regularly, right?
How to Send a Remote Wipe Request to an iPhone
To wipe a device remotely using “Find My”, you will need to log into the “Find My” app on a different device under the Apple ID where that device is associated. You can do this on an iPad, iPhone, MacBook or via iCloud.com in a web browser. You don’t necessarily need to have another Apple device, but you will need access to a computer or phone with Internet access and a web browser to log into iCloud.com using the Apple ID credentials associated with the iPhone. For this purposes of this article, iCloud.com is used to show how to find and use the “Find My” feature. These options are also available in the “Find My” app iOS devices.
Since iCloud.com is a website, it’s possible Apple may redesign this website from time to time. That means that the image shown here in this article may change. The “Find My” feature may remain available, but may be located in a different place and/or may present with a different user interface. If the user interface is different from what’s shown here, you will need to look for the “Find My” app in iCloud, open it and then determine how to get to and use the described features.
After logging into iCloud.com using the correct credentials, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see an array of available apps. One of the apps is “Find My”. Click it to open up the “Find My” app.
Once you have opened the “Find My” app, you will be given a number of options for each device when selected, including Play Sound, Lost Phone, Erase and Remove, at least for an iPhone. Different devices may be given more or less options, depending on the device type. The “Find My” web app may update a bit more slowly than the app available on an iPhone, iPad or Mac. You may need to wait a few minutes for the “Find My” web version to refresh fully for all of your devices to show active and online. You will be unable to send any remote commands to a device until that device is shown as online.
Once you have selected the device and opened it up, it will show you a control panel like the one shown above. The Erase option is the option you will need to remotely wipe the device. Again, make sure you have selected the correct device. I’d suggest playing a tone on the device using the “Find My” app to ensure that the correct device is chosen. However, if you’re erasing a device that is not in your possession (i.e., it’s stolen), don’t play a tone. You don’t want to alert the thieves that you’re looking at the device. In a stolen device case, check to see where the device is in the world on the map. If it’s not where you expect it to be, then you’ve selected the correct device for a wipe.
If you’re trying to solve the issue presented above and you have the device in your hand (or another person has it in their hand while you talk to them), play a tone to confirm the correct device. Once confirmed, send the erase command to the phone. If another person has the device in their hand, make sure they are talking to you on a separate device from the one that is about to be wiped. Once you send the wipe command, the phone will stop functioning. They will need to be on a different device talking to you for the duration of the wipe.
Remote Erasure — How does it work?
Once the Erase command is successfully sent to the device, the phone will immediately begin requesting to enter passwords with various popups. These popups indicate the command has been received by the phone. Ignore the popups and do nothing about them, though. At this point, the phone will need to be turned off and turned back on. Once the phone has been rebooted, the wipe will begin. The iPhone screen will turn black, a white Apple logo will appear and a small progress bar will appear just below the Apple logo.
The phone may reboot a couple of times during this wipe process, each with progress bars. Once the wipe process has completed, the device will go into Activation Lock (Cloud Locked) mode. When the phone is powered on after the wipe has completed, the phone may require setting up WiFi access before moving forward. However, at some point, you will be prompted to enter the Apple ID and Password of the person who originally owned the phone. This is a Cloud Lock. Entering these credentials will remove the Cloud Lock status and put the phone into a factory default setup mode to begin setting the phone up as if it were brand new. Once the Cloud Lock status has been removed, the phone is no longer associated with the Cloud Locked Apple credentials in any way.
Stolen Device Protection vs Cloud Locking
Here’s just a little bit of commentary about the Stolen Device Protection feature itself. I’m not exactly sure what Face ID’s Device Protection feature is actually trying to solve, honestly. Apple has already previously developed Cloud Locking. The Cloud Lock system is an effective deterrent for theft or loss. Should someone manage to get past the passcode and into your iPhone, they can’t wipe your device because the wipe process requires logging out of iCloud using the user’s Apple ID credentials and password. The wipe will stop and fail if the correct credentials are not input during the wipe process.
Unfortunately, Apple has taken this wiping problem one step further with Face ID’s Stolen Device Protection. With Device Protection enabled, not only do you still need to enter your Apple ID credentials during portions of the wipe to take it out of iCloud, but Face ID must function to even begin the wiping process.
Again, because Face ID dead end fails, this can lead to the possibility of never being able to actually remove a device from your Apple account in the expected way, by wiping the phone on the phone. Maybe you bought a new iPhone because your Face ID system stopped recognizing you. That’s fine and all, but now you cannot remove that device from your Apple ID because Face ID prevents wiping the device from the device itself. Yeah, this is Apple not thinking things through.
That is, until or unless you realize that the “Find My” app allows for remote wiping your device(s), which does solve the above Face ID dilemma. Just be cautious when selecting a device to wipe. Don’t pick the wrong one.
Conclusion
So, yes, there you have it. There is definitely a bug in Apple’s Face ID authentication system that can prevent you from locally wiping or locally fixing your Apple device. An authentication bug that should be considered oversight by Apple’s developers. However, all it is not lost. Apple has provided us with a sledgehammer approach in the “Find My” app to workaround this bug, as long as you have other devices that can initiate the wipe inside of “Find My” and assuming that the “Find My” feature is working correctly on the remote device. Lots of things need to line up properly for the “Find My” device wipe to function.

For example, if you’ve lost your password, sites allow you to reset your password. Resetting your password has you walk through various steps to identify that you own that account, usually by asking key questions like Name, Birth Date, Home Address or any other information that only you may know. You can often even call the support team at a website and ask them to help you get your password reset or cleared. These redundant designs prevent users from landing in dead end failures, as long as you have various other identifying data on hand to prove that you are you.
Not with Face ID… :(
Apple’s Bad Face ID Implementation
Apple created Face ID so that should Face ID fail to authenticate, it leads to a true dead end failure condition. There’s no additional way to authenticate with Face ID beyond that Face ID failure. When Face ID fails, it fails hard and it fails done. Even though the iPhone has the ability to access and request alternative identifying information, such a passcode, requesting and using your Apple ID credentials, requesting identity on other Apple devices and/or using an SMS code, NONE of these other authentication systems are used or available when Face ID fails! Nope. Apple just dead ends Face ID failures into nothingness. Face ID works or it doesn’t. When it doesn’t… yeah, here we open…
Pandora’s Box (aka Stolen Device Protection)
Apple Developers, in their infinite wisdom, have chosen to lock many critical troubleshooting and corrective features behind a successful Face ID verification. One might be thinking, “Well, that seems secure enough. So, what’s the problem?” Let me tell you.
One such feature locked behind Face ID verification is Device Protection under Face ID settings. If the Device Protection feature is toggled on, there are a number of things that Device Protection controls, including the ability (or not) to toggle Device Protection off. Another feature locked by Device Protection is the ability to use the Face ID Reset Data function, which becomes restricted and unusable when Face ID fails to verify.
This leads to a circular problem. Can’t verify with Face ID. Can’t reset Face ID’s biometric verification data to attempt to fix Face ID. Because the Reset Data function remains greyed out without a successful Face ID verification, you’re essentially locked out of the feature you need most to try to FIX Face ID. Not even Apple Support or the Apple Store can help you solve this dilemma.
Other critical features like a local Device Reset or a local Device Wipe are also locked behind Face ID when Device Protection is enabled. Once again, critical troubleshooting and corrective steps are eliminated simply because Face ID fails to verify.
How might this impact you?
There are a number of scenarios where Face ID failing to authenticate your face may affect you:
- You cannot attempt to fix Face ID if Device Protection is enabled and Face ID fails to authenticate.
- You cannot reset the device locally because Face ID fails to authenticate.
- You cannot wipe the device to factory settings because Face ID fails to authenticate.
- You can’t use many apps that rely on Face ID to authenticate you when Face ID fails.
And no, the passcode doesn’t help you here and neither does your Apple ID password. If you receive a used iPhone from a family member (or even from a used phone seller) and you want to wipe it and set it up new for yourself, you cannot do this. When Face ID was originally enabled, that means the phone will need to see the original owner’s face to unlock Face ID to enable a local factory reset and wipe options in settings.
This is particularly problematic when the device is shipped cross country and the Face ID person is not in close proximity. To solve, this means shipping the device back to the person, having them perform the wipe and then having the device shipped back. Let me just say here that SHIPPING IS EXPENSIVE! Best to avoid this back and forth shipping.
The unnecessary shipping can be avoided in used phone purchases if the seller fully wipes the device to factory defaults before shipping. However with family members, they often simply turn old phones off and forget about them. Then hand them over just as they are to other family members, leaving situations like the above.
But Wait, There’s More!!!
Apple does offer a feature that’s fairly sledge-hammery, but this feature will let you at least get the phone out of your Apple ID account as long as you own more than one iOS or MacOS device and the device exists in the “Find My” app OR you have a computer with a browser and can log into the iCloud.com website. The “Find My” app offers a critical security feature that allows you to remotely wipe your Apple devices to factory defaults, even if the device is not currently in your possession. The device will, however, need to be connected to the Internet to receive and perform the request. If the device is in your possession, there’s no problem at all. If it’s lost or stolen, it all depends on timing. If you can see the device is active and pinging in the “Find My” app, then you can wipe it.
When you buy a new iPhone, the first time you connect it to your Apple ID, this action automatically enrolls the device in the “Find My” app for tracking. You don’t need to manually add devices to this app. Apple often makes these things simple and easy for new users. This is one of those apps that “just works.”
The good thing about the “Find My” app wipe is that because it’s a remote wipe using another device on your Apple ID (usually performed because a device is lost or stolen, but can be used for other purposes), this remote wipe works around all security on the device itself, including Face ID. Meaning, no matter what security settings you have set up on the device, the remote wipe will do its thing without needing to touch the device at all.
There are some important things to consider about using “Find My” app to wipe your device, though. This wipe does as it sounds. It wipes all settings, data and information from the specific device. If you have photos or videos on the device, these will be wiped. The wipe feature erases everything back to factory defaults with the exception of ONE critical thing.
The wiped device will be placed into an Activation Lock (Cloud Locked) status. This means that in order to reactivate and use the device again, the original owner must type in their Apple ID credentials (login and password) to unlock the device for reuse. Once that’s done, the device is basically as if it’s brand new and is available to be set up again as though it were a new phone.
There are a few downsides, though. The wipe is just wee bit sledge-hammery when all you’re needing to do is something simple, like clearing out Face ID data. Because the “Find My” app lists ALL of your devices in a single convenient location, you will need to make absolutely sure that you have selected the correct device BEFORE sending out the wipe instruction. Don’t make a mistake here! Choosing the wrong device name means it will wipe that device instead. Make sure you name your devices properly for easy identification and double check that you’ve selected the correct device! You don’t want to wipe you or your spouse’s current phone accidentally. Caution is in order here.
However, the “Find My” wiping feature does mean that you can at least get your iPhone back into a workable state to begin setting it up again. If your phone has been backed up recently, then you won’t really lose all that much other than the time it takes wipe and restore the phone from your most recent backup, assuming you can get the phone back or you have it in your possession. You are backing up your phone’s data regularly, right?
How to Send a Remote Wipe Request to an iPhone
To wipe a device remotely using “Find My”, you will need to log into the “Find My” app on a different device under the Apple ID where that device is associated. You can do this on an iPad, iPhone, MacBook or via iCloud.com in a web browser. You don’t necessarily need to have another Apple device, but you will need access to a computer or phone with Internet access and a web browser to log into iCloud.com using the Apple ID credentials associated with the iPhone. For this purposes of this article, iCloud.com is used to show how to find and use the “Find My” feature. These options are also available in the “Find My” app iOS devices.
Since iCloud.com is a website, it’s possible Apple may redesign this website from time to time. That means that the image shown here in this article may change. The “Find My” feature may remain available, but may be located in a different place and/or may present with a different user interface. If the user interface is different from what’s shown here, you will need to look for the “Find My” app in iCloud, open it and then determine how to get to and use the described features.
After logging into iCloud.com using the correct credentials, scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see an array of available apps. One of the apps is “Find My”. Click it to open up the “Find My” app.
Once you have opened the “Find My” app, you will be given a number of options for each device when selected, including Play Sound, Lost Phone, Erase and Remove, at least for an iPhone. Different devices may be given more or less options, depending on the device type. The “Find My” web app may update a bit more slowly than the app available on an iPhone, iPad or Mac. You may need to wait a few minutes for the “Find My” web version to refresh fully for all of your devices to show active and online. You will be unable to send any remote commands to a device until that device is shown as online.
Once you have selected the device and opened it up, it will show you a control panel like the one shown above. The Erase option is the option you will need to remotely wipe the device. Again, make sure you have selected the correct device. I’d suggest playing a tone on the device using the “Find My” app to ensure that the correct device is chosen. However, if you’re erasing a device that is not in your possession (i.e., it’s stolen), don’t play a tone. You don’t want to alert the thieves that you’re looking at the device. In a stolen device case, check to see where the device is in the world on the map. If it’s not where you expect it to be, then you’ve selected the correct device for a wipe.
If you’re trying to solve the issue presented above and you have the device in your hand (or another person has it in their hand while you talk to them), play a tone to confirm the correct device. Once confirmed, send the erase command to the phone. If another person has the device in their hand, make sure they are talking to you on a separate device from the one that is about to be wiped. Once you send the wipe command, the phone will stop functioning. They will need to be on a different device talking to you for the duration of the wipe.
Remote Erasure — How does it work?
Once the Erase command is successfully sent to the device, the phone will immediately begin requesting to enter passwords with various popups. These popups indicate the command has been received by the phone. Ignore the popups and do nothing about them, though. At this point, the phone will need to be turned off and turned back on. Once the phone has been rebooted, the wipe will begin. The iPhone screen will turn black, a white Apple logo will appear and a small progress bar will appear just below the Apple logo.
The phone may reboot a couple of times during this wipe process, each with progress bars. Once the wipe process has completed, the device will go into Activation Lock (Cloud Locked) mode. When the phone is powered on after the wipe has completed, the phone may require setting up WiFi access before moving forward. However, at some point, you will be prompted to enter the Apple ID and Password of the person who originally owned the phone. This is a Cloud Lock. Entering these credentials will remove the Cloud Lock status and put the phone into a factory default setup mode to begin setting the phone up as if it were brand new. Once the Cloud Lock status has been removed, the phone is no longer associated with the Cloud Locked Apple credentials in any way.
Stolen Device Protection vs Cloud Locking
Here’s just a little bit of commentary about the Stolen Device Protection feature itself. I’m not exactly sure what Face ID’s Device Protection feature is actually trying to solve, honestly. Apple has already previously developed Cloud Locking. The Cloud Lock system is an effective deterrent for theft or loss. Should someone manage to get past the passcode and into your iPhone, they can’t wipe your device because the wipe process requires logging out of iCloud using the user’s Apple ID credentials and password. The wipe will stop and fail if the correct credentials are not input during the wipe process.
Unfortunately, Apple has taken this wiping problem one step further with Face ID’s Stolen Device Protection. With Device Protection enabled, not only do you still need to enter your Apple ID credentials during portions of the wipe to take it out of iCloud, but Face ID must function to even begin the wiping process.
Again, because Face ID dead end fails, this can lead to the possibility of never being able to actually remove a device from your Apple account in the expected way, by wiping the phone on the phone. Maybe you bought a new iPhone because your Face ID system stopped recognizing you. That’s fine and all, but now you cannot remove that device from your Apple ID because Face ID prevents wiping the device from the device itself. Yeah, this is Apple not thinking things through.
That is, until or unless you realize that the “Find My” app allows for remote wiping your device(s), which does solve the above Face ID dilemma. Just be cautious when selecting a device to wipe. Don’t pick the wrong one.
Conclusion
So, yes, there you have it. There is definitely a bug in Apple’s Face ID authentication system that can prevent you from locally wiping or locally fixing your Apple device. An authentication bug that should be considered oversight by Apple’s developers. However, all it is not lost. Apple has provided us with a sledgehammer approach in the “Find My” app to workaround this bug, as long as you have other devices that can initiate the wipe inside of “Find My” and assuming that the “Find My” feature is working correctly on the remote device. Lots of things need to line up properly for the “Find My” device wipe to function.

This is one of those things that I expected to happen eventually but now that it's more than likely gonna roll out soon I'm sad to see it. Reddit was the last mainstream "social media" that I still use and while yeah I also dink around in federated Reddit alternatives there is still a huge wealth of knowledge locked away in Reddit's forums.
It's gonna suck not using it anymore but that's just where we are now I guess.

Just like everyone in the #Apple blogaratti parroted the company line on how good #FaceID was, and how bad #TouchID was, I'm sure there will be plenty of laments that the new #FashBook #Neo has bezels that are "too large", and "why didn't they add a #Notch".
Of course, what this device proves, is that the #iPad could just run vanilla #macOS (no, the touch targets are not too small, you cretin), with pencil support, and be a better product than it is with #iPadOS.

Meta plans to add facial recognition to its smart glasses, report claims
“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads.
#Meta considered adding facial recognition #technology to the first version of its Ray-Ban smart glasses back in 2021, but dropped the plans over technical challenges and ethical concerns. The NYT reports that the company has revived its plans as the #Trump administration has grown closer to Big Tech, and following the unexpected success of its smart glasses."

Der US-amerikanische Tech-Konzern Meta plant die Einführung von Gesichtserkennungtechnologien für seine "Smart Glasses". Damit sollen Personen identifiziert und Informationen über sie angezeigt werden können.
Während der Konzern dieses Überwachungsfeature bereits 2021 in den USA einführen wollte aber aufgrund politischer und ethischer Bedenken wieder zurück genommen hat, folgt die jetzige Einführung nach dem Kalkül, das weite Teile der kritischen Öffentlichkeit zu abgelenkt sind, um signifikante Widerstände zu leisten. Auch die wachsende Nähe der Trump-Regierung zur digitalen Überwachungsindustrie erweist sich für den Konzern als günstig.

Just learned that covering the front #camera on my phone doesn't disable #FaceID.
I'm glad about it, actually. Face ID is so convenient, but having an unused photo/video cam open at all times is creepy. And my humble phone doesn't have a fingerprint sensor. I thought I had to choose between the convenience of Face ID and feeling a bit safer. Well, I don't have to!

Discord se vuelve «estricto» – Impondrá escaneos faciales obligatorios para verificar la edad de sus usuarios
En una medida drástica para cumplir con las nuevas normativas internacionales de protección al menor, Discord ha anunciado un cambio radical en su sistema de acceso. A partir de las próximas semanas, la plataforma comenzará a exigir de forma predeterminada escaneos faciales o validaciones biométricas (como Face ID y Touch ID) para verificar la edad de los usuarios y restringir el acceso a servidores con contenido sensible (Fuente Discord).
La presión regulatoria, especialmente desde Europa y Estados Unidos, ha forzado a Discord a abandonar el sistema de «promesa de edad» (donde el usuario simplemente introducía su fecha de nacimiento). Según los documentos filtrados y confirmados en el comunicado de prensa, el nuevo sistema utilizará tecnología de estimación de edad por inteligencia artificial y reconocimiento biométrico nativo. Si el sistema detecta que un usuario es menor de lo que afirma, o si intenta acceder a canales marcados como NSFW (no aptos para el trabajo), Discord bloqueará la cuenta hasta que se realice un escaneo facial en tiempo real a través de la cámara del dispositivo.
Este movimiento ha generado una tormenta de críticas en la comunidad. Muchos usuarios expresan su preocupación por la privacidad de sus datos biométricos, temiendo que Discord o las empresas de verificación de terceros almacenen sus rasgos faciales. Por su parte, la plataforma asegura que no guardará las imágenes: el proceso se realizará mediante un «hash» cifrado que se borra inmediatamente después de confirmar la edad. En dispositivos móviles, Discord priorizará el uso de las APIs oficiales de Apple y Google (Face ID y Android Biometrics) para que la información sensible no salga del hardware del teléfono.
La implementación será gradual pero obligatoria. Los usuarios que no cumplan con la verificación verán sus cuentas limitadas a «Modo Seguro», perdiendo el acceso a servidores de comunidades grandes y funciones de mensajería directa con desconocidos. Con esta decisión, Discord busca limpiar su imagen y evitar multas multimillonarias, aunque el precio sea alienar a una parte de su base de usuarios que valora el anonimato por encima de todo.

Samsung prepara su respuesta definitiva a Face ID – El reconocimiento facial 3D llegaría en 2027
A pesar de dominar el mercado con sus sensores de huellas ultrasónicos, Samsung tiene una asignatura pendiente: un sistema de desbloqueo facial tan seguro como el Face ID de Apple. Según las últimas filtraciones, la compañía surcoreana ya está trabajando en una solución de reconocimiento facial 3D «bajo pantalla» que debutaría con la serie Galaxy S27 (Fuente Substack).
Mientras que Apple ha hecho del Face ID su seña de identidad, Samsung ha apostado históricamente por la comodidad del sensor de huellas dactilares bajo el panel. Sin embargo, con el aumento de las transacciones bancarias móviles y la necesidad de una seguridad biométrica más robusta para la IA, Samsung parece lista para cambiar de estrategia. El reporte de Phandroid indica que la empresa está desarrollando sensores ISOCELL Vizion de próxima generación, capaces de mapear el rostro en tres dimensiones con una precisión milimétrica.
El gran desafío para Samsung no es solo la seguridad, sino la estética. A diferencia del iPhone, que utiliza una «isla» o muesca, Samsung aspira a integrar todos los sensores necesarios (proyector de puntos e iluminador IR) completamente debajo de la pantalla. Esto permitiría ofrecer un diseño de «todo pantalla» real, sin perforaciones, manteniendo la cámara frontal invisible hasta que sea necesaria. Esta tecnología, conocida como UDC (Under-Display Camera) 2.0, ha mostrado grandes avances en los prototipos de 2026.
Aunque los usuarios esperaban ver esta mejora en el próximo Galaxy S26, los analistas sugieren que Samsung ha decidido posponerla hasta 2027 para perfeccionar la tasa de transmisión de luz a través de los píxeles del panel. De lograrlo, el Galaxy S27 no solo igualaría la seguridad biométrica del iPhone, sino que lo superaría estéticamente al ocultar toda la tecnología tras el cristal. Por ahora, los usuarios del S26 tendrán que conformarse con el sensor ultrasónico mejorado, que sigue siendo el más rápido del mercado.
