I thought it was named after Malcolm X, or maybe Dorothy X from Detroit.

They all look the same.ROFL! The software that scans the 3D facial contour map must be looking for big noses and round eyes. The responsible programmer needs a consciousness-raising!

Given all the attention China has been paying to biotech, are these crones clones?

Is The iPhone X Racist? I hope so!
To: blam
It’s true! They all look alike! Siri said so.
To: blam
Yes, because everything is racist.
Next question.

Yes, one can use a numeric (or longer alphanumeric) code for entry.
Or she can just be aware that one other particular person can unlock her phone.
There isn’t a fingerprint sensor to fall back on.
This, however, is akin to discovering that someone else happens to have the same numeric code. With 4 or 6 digits, vs tens of millions of users, odds are a couple people who know each other are likely to use the same code.
Key point here is it’s ONE particular pair of people who happen to look similar enough (to the device) that one can open the other’s phone. This is NOT a case of total security failure (as some will construe it). And this is a biometric convenience, not full-on data security; it’s akin to having a locked front door knowing full well a willful & motivated thief could easily break a window and climb in your house - to wit if you want serious security, use a passphrase > 6 characters, not merely face or finger biometrics.

Most likely this is a FUD article being spread by an Apple competitor in China, but the claim is that a woman in China has bought two iPhone X and both of them were able to be unlocked by a friend using FaceID. However, given that Apple claims that the odds are only one in one million and there are 1.4 Billion people in China, there are actually 1,400 people in China that could unlock her iPhone X. . . and her friend may be one of them. PING!
