    Apple buys Israel’s facial recognition firm RealFace – report – The Times of Israel (Feb 20, 2017)

    One of Apple’s ten $100m plus acquisitions was AuthenTec, which provided technology Apple uses in its TouchID sensor. This apparently much smaller acquisition can be seen as another security/unlock-focused acquisition, this time based on facial recognition, but the company also makes consumer-facing facial recognition apps for use with photo libraries, so I’d say this one could yet go either way in terms of how the acquired technology ends up being used.
