Face ID Appears to Fail at Telling Apart Brothers Who Aren't Twins in New Videos [Updated]

Their ignored after you initially scan your face without them. If you set up the phone with them on, your basically telling the phone that those glasses are a facial feature. This probably lowers the accuracy because some facial features are covered during the setup.
This.
After setting up Face ID, I was kinda disappointed because it wouldn’t let me unlock the phone whilst wearing my, pretty much mediocre, ray ban aviator sunglasses. After using it a few times throughout the day it suddenly started to recognize me with my sunglasses on. I haven’t had any issues ever since.
It’s the other way around here, I know. But for me, machine learning is a pretty logical answer. And it surely gets better, more accurate and more secure the more it “learns” how your face looks like.
Because that thing your talking about costs $1200 and removed the very reliable touch ID
Source? I don't remember them saying it collects more data after initial set up...
Nope I waited because the specs didn’t blow me away me the 8 plus has the same specs but cheaper. I’ll get the larger X version next year and when the specs get bumped up
Actually this video is nothing and shouldn't even be considered since we don't know how they setup the phone, and multiple times the phone leaves the camera view.
Seems slow and a pain to use, which is a problem. Maybe if you got rid of the extra swipe up after it unlocks it would seem less clunky? I don't know, but that second of hesitation it takes to unlock shouldn't be there.
This is another example of why Apple isn't the same company and puts out lesser products than they used to. The ugly cutout and the clunky face-id system, the camera hump simply wouldn't have happened before. Now they make compromises, and it's hard to be dedicated or care about products that clearly are "good enough." Overall they still make the best smartphones I suppose, but where they used to be in a whole different league than their competition, now they're very much just another phone maker. What's especially frustrating is that this has been allowed to happen as they pile up 200+ billion in cash--they have the resources to be so much better.
As far as this video...well, it's not good, but maybe they handed off the phone during setup?

I love all these videos popping up because I've yet to see one that actually shows them setting up the phone from scratch before doing the "testing".
And NO ONE HAS to buy it. And with all the negative things that you have to say, people still buy them. If it was that much of a "flaw" no one would buy it.
While many can agree with your sentiments, the numbers don't lie. People have been lining up and throwing apple money for phones since the day they were released. They don't care about humps or notches. They care about latest and greatest, and can't wait for the notchless iPhone XI, because they're going to buy that one too.
Hell, they even bought them when they didn't work... antenna gate anyone?
The requirement for the swipe is likely a security measure to prevent people from accessing a phone that was inadvertently unlocked by its owner looking at it.
This video is not the only report about siblings being able to unlock the X. Here is a report on MacRumors about similar case of two bothers (four year age difference): https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/my-face-unlocks-my-brothers-x.2084056/
Indeed.
I'm pretty sure I recall, just a few weeks ago on these forums, it being posted that Face ID "DOES NOT" record additional data from your face after the initial set up.
I even recall myself writing a posting to that thread.
People are now, seeming to make up a new story that it's constantly reading more data every time and adding to dsome internal detail database.
As I said, I thought it was said weeks ago this did not happen.
Not to mention that Cook mentioned that siblings and other family members had a chance of this sort of thing.
It does gather additional data. Behind the Apple reality distortion field people seem to be living in.
Expect more stories like this in the next couple of weeks....and shills desperately trying to downplay it.
And a passcode.
You can cut off my thumb and my head but you can't get my passcode without a fight!.
Don’t forget that a large percentage of people never set up a security code or activate TouchID. Apple requires that a security code is activated only if you want to use iCloud. Most iPhone users have no clue about iCloud or anything else besides browsing Facebook on their phone.
If you like TouchID better, get an iPhone 8.
Good god. They don't even LOOK alike ffs. This is HILARIOUS.
He's like 6, 7 years younger
