Apple iPhone X Failures
While Face ID, Apple's native facial recognition technology, is one of the key compelling features of the iPhone X, it seems to have some loopholes. Some security researchers have already claimed to have fooled Face ID with 3D-printed masks.
During the world premier of the device’s lauded Face ID biometric security system, it took Craig Federighi (Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering) three times to get face ID to unlock his demo phone. But don’t worry, Apple says. That’s supposed to happen.
When Federighi began the iPhone X demo, he naturally started with a locked iPhone. “Unlocking it is as easy as looking at it and swiping up,” he said, hoping to magically unlock the phone to whoops and cheers from the audience like when Steve Jobs swiped to unlock the original iPhone. Except that didn’t happen.
On the first attempt, the phone didn’t respond. The second try produced the pin code screen with the message, “Your passcode is required to enable Face ID.” It wasn’t until the third attempt after Federighi had to pick up a backup iPhone X and wipe some sweat from his brow, when the iPhone X finally unlocked.

Some security researchers have already claimed to have fooled Face ID with 3D-printed masks. And now, a mother and her 10-year-old son show how Face ID can be fooled, failing to secure the experience between family members.
