Also the defacto auto-login on macOS is with Apple Watch. That just works and most people I know with Macs have Apple watches already. Sudo / security approvals appear on your watch too so you double press the side button to approve.
Just add a $400 watch to your $1500 display to go with that $2000 computer. Oh and you better grab a $430 iPhone SE or perhaps a $800 iPhone 13 to replace your Android phone and actually use your watch.
The Apple Studio Display is a very Tim Cook sort of product. Cook is the supply chain and logistics wizard who saw Apple into the behemoth era, and the mentality he brings to the company is all over this device. The 27" panels from the now discontinued iMac in that size meet the A13 Bionic at end of life, and the same front-facing camera they put on everything else.

I don't think this argument makes much sense. Windows Hello has logged me in by face for years on my Surface Pro. It works well, and there's no onerous trigger or precise button-pushing needed. Sit down, tap the mouse/keyboard any way you like, and you're logged in.
> Sit down, tap the keyboard ... and you're logged in How is that a better experience than on macOS where you "Sit down, tap the [touchID] key ... and you're logged in"? Not wanting to sound argumentative, just playing devils advocate.
So, looks like Apple may be planning to release their own ios powered Smart TV in the future.
