- ebspelman 9y agothe prevalence of surgical masks in China might also be a challenge
- monkmartinez 9y agoSunglasses and hats too!
- ihuman 9y agoApple has said it will work with glasses and hats
- nicky0 9y agoBut not sunglasses.
- hellofunk 9y agoNo, Apple has explicitly stated that hair style, glasses, hats, etc have no impact on the face detection.
- tetraodonpuffer 9y agoso does it mean that to unlock the phone I just have to knock you out and put some sunglasses on you?
- hellofunk 9y agoHow would that be any different than knocking someone out and using their finger for the Touch ID?
- tetraodonpuffer 9y agoexactly the same, which means FaceID is not that much more secure unless as part of the authentication process you have to smile on cue or something
- koolba 9y agoWell for one thing it'd be a hell of a lot more work to cut off a guy's head vs. just his thumbs (if you want to unlock again later).

- dschiffner 9y agoCan still use a passcode
- elif 9y agoThe passcode doesn't let you get rid of the hideous screen cut-out, which seems to be primarily for this lock.
- M4v3R 9y agoYou would still need it for the normal front facing camera (look at the Essential Phone).
- amdavidson 9y agoThe cut-out also has the speaker, front facing camera, and ambient light sensor, or would you go without those as well?
- bambax 9y agoWhat about twins? Does touch ID even work with twins?
- TCM 9y agoI am a twin and me and my brother managed to fool windows hello. I plan on going to an Apple Store with my brother to see if FaceID can't be fooled.
- amag 9y agoOh, this is very interesting! Please keep us posted!
- AceJohnny2 9y agoNo. They even brought up Spock and Evil Goatee Spock to mention that twins defeat it. (I say "defeat". Schiller just said the chances of a false positive were higher with twins than the 1/1,000,000 base rate [compared with his claim of 1/50,000 for TouchID])
- saurik 9y agoThis was explicitly brought up by the presenter (though through the premise of an "evil twin" and a photo of Spock from Mirror, Mirror) and they said you should consider a password.
- return0 9y agothat sounds like a lot of inconvenience
- cynix 9y agoTwins shouldn't be a problem. Even the ghetto facial recognition implementation in the AliPay app (a Chinese PayPal clone) can tell twins apart. Surely Apple can do an even better job.
- synaesthesisx 9y agoInfrared should pass through thin layers of clothing with ease.
- return0 9y agoit's all a plot to make women remove their scarves
