And now, the concern will increase. Since Apple have ensured that the Face ID system could have problems with children under 13 and with twins .

The Face ID feature of the iPhone X is not as accurate as it counts


The apple bite company recently issued a safety guide on Face ID. In it, they talked long and hard about the function of the iPhone X that allows users to unlock the device simply by looking at it.

According to the guide, the chance that a random person can unlock an iPhone X with Face ID is 1 in 1,000,000 . While the probability of unlocking the Touch ID function is 1 in 50,000.


Is the Face ID feature more secure than the Touch ID fingerprint reader? We do not know, for now. But what we do know is that she would have problems with twins and with children under 13 years.

"THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY IS DIFFERENT FOR TWINS AND TWINS WHO CLOSELY RESEMBLE YOU AND AMONG CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13, BECAUSE THEIR FACIAL FEATURES HAVE NOT FULLY DEVELOPED."
