iPhone X Face ID Unlocked by Mask and 10-Year-Old Son

When launched, Apple claimed this about its face recognition technology, "Face ID matches against depth information, which isn't found in print or 2D digital photographs. It's designed to protect against spoofing by masks or other techniques through the use of sophisticated anti-spoofing neural networks. Face ID is even attention-aware."

But such robust claim isn't so trustworthy when just earlier last week, a 10-year-old boy, who looks like his mother, unlocks her iPhone X without any use of mask or makeup. Then a security firm from Vietnam called Bkav defeats Face ID with a $200 mask made out of stone powder and 2D infrared images of eyes which can be accessed by anyone. And the image of a person can be taken from a distance then a 3D printer is used to create the mask.

Although this shouldn't concern most users, Apple should've given users choices on methods of unlocking, like Andriod phones, either with facial recognition or fingerprint. Their habit of forcing customers to like and use their changes has to come to a stop, if not, more will jump ship.
