Apple explains Face ID on iPhone X (CNET News)

Apple shows how its new facial recognition technology, Face ID, works inside the new iPhone X.

[nathanatwood]

Probably the best feature ever added to a phone

[thor_st]

Works flawless and really really fast, i have great experience with it

[ehan]

When you forget the face you made for the face id: awww sh-

[lorumipsum]

Oddly it hasn’t changed much. It’s just faster and works in landscape now, something I’ve wanted for a long time

[SMX]

Still one of the best features on the iPhone X

[Layo]

FaceID:
True depth camera system
- IR camera
- flood illuminator - use in dark
- dot projector - 30k IR dots
- depth mapper

Depth & dot data fed to Neural Network & transformed into mathematical model, hashed, checked against hash from setup

1/1mil chance random user’s face matches your hash

[rijanparajuli]

So he's saying that around 7, 000 people in the whole world can unlock my iPhone?

[GD]

They actually unlocked it in the movie "Face Off"

[scorpa]

Secret way FBI can catch you lool. Your face changes and it still recognise you

[WonderMePartyStrip]

Hahaha tell the FBI and NSA that they have 1 in a 1 million to unlock your phone.

[gtone]

Risky choice if unlocking your device. Would prefer iris scanner & finger-print scanner instead.

[dayhookah]

You act like Google does not already recognize your face. I never had my face scanned and Google photos can Id me in an instant. It's been over people. This is just a way to improve what they can already do

[carmencastro]

I can unlock my twin sister's phone

[hznd]

What if I got a bee sting and my face swells up badly

[TooCoolKhan]

A data bank storage of emulating facial simulations to be used at a unpredicted date unbeknownst to the general public.

[gangloojankee]

1 in a million chances your phone to be unlocked by someone.

*Twin brother unlocks*

all right.

[HangingWood]

I have twin girls, (not identical) but they can each open the others phone.

[kl_kl]

There you go I have a twin in every million of the population

[moadrazzaki]

my twin brother can unlock my iphone with his face hahahaha

[allahlesboslu_]

You can be held at 🔫 point and your phone unlocks 😂😂
