Leaker Jon Prosser reports that Apple is working on a new Face ID that is mask-compatible How cool would that be?

iOS Permissions were added in iOS 14.5 and Jamf wrote up a great blog post on what Apps ask for in permissions. What are the iOS permissions that your favorite apps don't need? Jamf knows. Do we all say don’t allow apps to track or give them permissions?
