FaceID shows the difference between Apple and other smartphone manufacturers. Apple doesn't release features until they are absolutely sure they can engineer them to work perfectly.
And it failed in the demo...

Re: iPhone X
#73I wonder how well Face ID works with dark skinned people. Dead serious. Historically facial recognition has had a tough time with dark skinned folks. The inclusion of an IR camera should mitigate, if not solve this, but I'm curious to the accuracy in practice.

#74Someone can drug me and hold the phone in front of my unconscious face to access all my data?
Same goes for your fingerprint, surely?

#75I love how for their demo they selected videos where it was dark where the screen bump is.

#76I unlock my phone in my pocket with Touch ID all the time - ready to go and on the home screen by the time I've flipped it around in my hand. Feels like a straight downgrade in usability. also, some engineer at apple had to continuously grow a beard to test this
If this slows people down going through barriers on the tube there will be barely (but just) contained rage across London

I think speed of the facial recognition will make or break this. If it takes less than 500ms of me staring at it to unlock it could feel fluid enough. Any longer and it'll be annoying every time.
it looked pretty slow on the demo. In the order of 1500ms.
TouchID is much faster.

#78...and all I wonder is why they are skipping number 9? Are the negative connotations some culture? iPhone NEIN? With Windows 9, there was at least the explanation that software might confuse it with Windows 9x (which I didn't buy, since there is view api returning the version as a string, and Windows shims GetVersion if you don't declare compatibility anyway). More on topic, this looks nice, I think people will not b…
I think its because this is the 10th anniversary of the iphone. And they want to have it seen as a major step forward.

#80I turned off the stream because I needed to get back to work. Did they say anything about security for FaceID? Such as where the data about your face is stored. Or what about just holding up a photo of someone?

"Face data protected by A11 chip's secure enclave. On-device processing."
Looks like its using a dot projector for the depth sensing (similar to the xbox kinect).
