If you have used an Android Phone, you know what this is. With face masks now mandatory in public, this would be a game changer for iPhone users. Requires no new hardware. It’s all Bluetooth and software. Could be out tomorrow. Please Apple.

Seems like a great idea... one that would be worth submitting on Apple’s Product Feedback page: https://www.apple.com/feedback/#mn_p

I'd also be happy with an option to unlock an iPhone with a nearby unlocked Apple Watch. That's the opposite of the way it works now (there isn an option, which I believe is default, to unlock the watch by unlocking the iPhone), but it works with the Mac, so shouldn't be a problem with the iPhone.

I would love that too!
