iPhone Face ID with mask option now available for some with latest Apple update

FILE - The Apple logo hangs at Apple's Carnegie Library store in Washington. The latest software update from Apple now allows some users to open their phone with Face ID while wearing a mask, according to multiple reports. iPhone users have complained that when they wear a mask or covering for their face to protect themselves against COVID-19 — particularly when running errands or going outside — they are unable to unlock their phones using Face ID. Now, Apple’s IOS Beta 15.4 update basically uses the function to identify the top portion of a user’s face to unlock their phone, according to TechCrunch. The latest feature may also only be available on iPhone 12s or newer, according to The Verge. Because the feature only uses half of a user’s face, it could potentially be less secure, which is why Apple is allowing people to opt-in or out to use it. Apple had been testing out Face ID options with a mask since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Temperatures stay frigid Thursday to set stage for powerful weekend snowstorm

PHILADELPHIA - Forecasters are still trying to get a hold on a coastal storm that's expected to bring heavy snow and whipping winds to parts of the region Friday into Saturday. Temperatures dropped below freezing on Wednesday as a cold front spiked conditions in most places. That trend will worsen overnight as temperatures drop into the teens in most places, while parts north and west of Philadelphia could fall into the single digits. A similar weather day will follow on Thursday with below-average temperature hovering near the freezing point to set the stage for Friday night's coastal storm. Forecasters are still unsure which path the storm will take, but there is growing confidence that areas primarily in New Jersey and Delaware will see several inches of snow. FOX 29's Kathy Orr explained that current models predict light accumulations in southeast Philadelphia and a sliver of neighboring parts of New Jersey.

Bitter temperatures return as forecasters monitor potentially major weekend snowstorm

PHILADELPHIA - Bitter cold has returned to the Delaware Valley Wednesday as another cold front moved through the area overnight - but all eyes are on a coastal storm that could impact the area later in the week. Wednesday morning's front will be helping to keep temperatures in the 30s through the weekend. Wednesday's high is just 30 degrees, and Thursday morning will start off with lows in the teens. The cold temperatures will be an important factor as we keep an eye on our next possible weather event – a coastal storm that is expected to bring snow to the area Friday night. Forecasters are keeping a close eye on the storm's path as it moves northward - in order to see if it will take a path that hugs the coast or goes further out to sea.A powerful nor’easter with heavy snow, high winds, and coastal flooding threatens the East Coast this weekend.FOX 29's Sue Serio says she expects parts of the area to get snow in either scenario, but a track closer to the coast would mean higher snow totals. That snow is currently expected to bring light snow to the area Friday night.
