What if they want to add Face ID to the Mac but have the camera light not illuminate for that internal function, since that can also be developed securely so that nothing in user space can access the camera during that query.


FaceID doesn’t use the standard visual camera.

It’s (for example) similar to the Kinect. It projects a pattern of structured light in IR then looks at that with an IR camera to be able to determine depth.
