Face ID and animated memoji

It makes every sense. The sensor hardware (TrueDepth Camera and IR Projector) required for the FaceID feature is not present on the older models of iPad Pro or Mac.

For iPad, FaceID is only available on the 2018 and 2020 models of iPad Pro - these being:

• 2018: First generation iPad Pro 11” and third generation iPad Pro 12.9”
• 2020: Second generation iPad Pro 11” and fourth generation iPad Pro 12.9”

These models of iPad Pro have no physical Home Button and have a USB-C connector. Earlier versions of iPad Pro have TouchID built-in to the physical Home Button - and have a Lightning connector.

Face ID is driven by hardware.

It's not "just a camera" but a fairly advanced, 3-D infrared imaging system with a matching security processor.

If your OS doesn't provide a setup menu, it's because the device doesn't have the necessary hardware.
