Why did fingerprinting never catch on in that way? That tech has existed for ages. Way cheaper to implement as well. Seems like it would also be less prone to false positives compared to facial recognition, but that’s just speculation on my part.
- teruakohatu 6y agoFingerprints are left everywhere and even photographed from a distance. It is harder to 3D scan a face then recreate it in such a way as to fool Face ID although I am sure it is possible.
- searchableguy 6y agoTouch ID has been hacked multiple times. It's not reliable. 0] The probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone or iPad Pro and unlock it using Face ID is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 with a single enrolled appearance. As an additional protection, Face ID allows only five unsuccessful match attempts before a passcode is required. The statistical probability is different for twins and siblings that look like you and among children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have fully developed. If you're concerned about this, we recommend using a passcode to authenticate. For comparison, touch ID has a probability of 1 in 50,000. 0] https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT208108 https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT208108
