Apple has reportedly acquired Israeli startup RealFace, which makes facial recognition software to authenticate users by simply showing their mug, rather than having to enter a password or fingerprint.
Israeli business news site Calcalist reported the news Sunday , estimating the deal to be worth a couple million dollars.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation and comment. But Startup Nation Central, a database for Israeli tech companies, says Apple acquired RealFace this month.
