Vloggers Try to Trick the iPhone X Face ID Feature With Masks, Facial Hair and Identical Twins

When the iPhone X was announced in September 2017 as “one more thing“, the company introduced their new “Face ID” facial recognition software, which would serve as a super secure password for unlocking the phone. Some very clever vloggers decided to put that notion to the test with various masks, costumes and facial hair, with rather mixed results. The experiment with identical twins proved most successful as the phones unlocked 100% of the time for each twin.
