This isn't true. Do you have a link to this source? Here's one site of many that says we should be wearing masks at least into the summer https://parade.com/1141266/ericasweeney/how-long-will-we-have-to-wear-masks/ Plus, since the COVID-19 virus isn't going away, and will continue to mutate, and since no vaccine is 100% affective, there will be some people who will continue to wear masks for years if not forever in some situations. A feature like what Apple is providing will be beneficial to some even if others don't take advantage of it.
