#52What about beards? And honestly why is this a big deal? sounds as easy to fool as a fingerprint, and is still less secure than a password
That's just one of the ways to unlock the phone. You can use a password when traveling for eg.

#53They say that Face ID falsely recognizes 1 in 1,000,000 people (1 in 50,000 for Touch ID), but it's a lot easier to find the people who look like a given target to unlock their phone. Could be an issue if a mutual friend knows someone who looks enough like you to unlock your phone.
It's not clear whether the false positives would mainly be among "similar faces", or it probably could happen due to signature collisions on entirely different faces? Like, a weakness in the algorithm which causes two entirely different faces to hash to a very similar signature.

#54Why'd Apple choose to make the iPhone X out of stainless steel? Titanium, for example, would be half the weight and much more interesting..
Could have to do with the wireless charging and/or wireless communication properties.

#55And I thought that removing the headphone jack for the 7 was the worst possible decision they could make.
Does every design meeting at Apple start with: "What beloved feature can we remove and replace with something no one fucking cares about?"

What about twins? Does touch ID even work with twins?
I 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.
Oh, this is very interesting! Please keep us posted!

No, Apple has explicitly stated that hair style, glasses, hats, etc have no impact on the face detection.
so does it mean that to unlock the phone I just have to knock you out and put some sunglasses on you?
How would that be any different than knocking someone out and using their finger for the Touch ID?

Can still use a passcode
The passcode doesn't let you get rid of the hideous screen cut-out, which seems to be primarily for this lock.
The cut-out also has the speaker, front facing camera, and ambient light sensor, or would you go without those as well?
Re: Face ID is replacing Touch ID on the new iPhone X
#60so instead of stealing your finger print it's now enough to get a picture?
No, it's projecting dots onto the face for 3D mapping, and has an IR camera (which I'd guess maps facial heat).
