VIDEO: 10 YEAR OLD UNLOCKS FACE ID ON IPHONE X
With the iPhone X is well on its way towards the majority of iPhone fans, the new biometric security system has been put to test in all manner of ways since it debuted to the Apple-loving public. In many of these trials, the new facial-recognition tech stands strong, but family members who share the same features have sometimes been able to circumvent the system.
That's the case in a YouTube clip spotted online that might give paranoid parents some concerns about Apple's new security feature.
The video shows ten-year-old Ammar Malik unlocking his mother Sana Sherwani's new iPhone X, easily passing the Face ID barrier that Apple claims offers users a 1 in 1,000,000 chance that someone else in the general population will be able to break through. Ammar is clearly that minute exception to the rule, in this case, so he celebrates accordingly with a strong dab as any self-respecting 10-year-old would.
All concerned iPhone X-owning parents need to do three things: test your Face ID system with your kids, make some strict rules, and, if you really don't trust your progeny, set up a PIN code.
Have a look at the video below, and be safe out there.
