That\u2019s been the brief since the first model arrived in 2007, and the experience starts with unlocking your device. Unfortunately for Android, Apple has led the way in face unlocking since 2017. But could that change with Pixel 11? <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-project-toscana-face-unlock-rumor\"><span id=\"Project_Toscana_face_unlock_rumor\">\u2018Project Toscana\u2019 face unlock rumor<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to an anonymous source (per Android Authority), Google appears to be acutely aware of the immediate advantage iPhones have with Face ID.

That would make sense, particularly in response to Apple\u2019s reported upgrade of its own TrueDepth system for Face ID in the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup.<\/p>\n<p>While this all seems speculative right now, it would&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wepc.com\/news\/could-the-pixel-11-win-over-iphone-fans-with-project-toscana\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could the Pixel 11 win over iPhone fans with &#8216;Project Toscana&#8217;? https:\/\/www.wepc.com\/news\/could-the-pixel-11-win-over-iphone-fans-with-project-toscana\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-04&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219746,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.wepc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Could-the-Pixel-11-win-over-iPhone-fans-with-Project-Toscana_.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-219745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-17"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219745"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219745"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219747,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219745\/revisions\/219747"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
