My parner’s an identical twin. After I get my X Friday, any potential problems with re-registering it to her and seeing if her twin can open it, then resetting it again to my face?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone X Face ID 'Twin Tests' Emerge With Mixed Results

Which is why I thought Touch ID was more secure because no two fingerprints are alike. But at the iPhone event, they said chances of unlocking a phone with Face ID are lower than with Touch ID. You can have twins unlock each others phones with Face ID, but not with Touch ID. So Apple's statements about Face ID being more secure over the other confuses me.
You have to give it up brother, Apple did well over a year ago.
Craig Federighi specifically said that if you have an evil twin you may not want to use it. This isn't news. It was clearly pointed out during the keynote.

I care! You know the government is already working on perfecting that clone creation process in order to hack your iPhoneX.

Yep, I laughed out loud.
The whole "no two finger prints are alike" is complete BS. Fingerprints that match each other are actually more common then one would think. The whole no two are alike is a myth started long ago and has since been debunked. Faces on the other hand can contain a lot more data used in recognition. Twins can be an exception obviously but who cares about that other then twins.
It is a lot harder to mimic face data then facial because faces have more detail to them. Fingerprints are fairly secure still but faces are even more secure.
Still....Windows 10 isn't fooled by twins....

There are identical twins and mirror image twins. I wonder if that makes a difference. For example, a mirror twin might have a facial feature on the right that the twin has on the left.
[doublepost=1509460187][/doublepost]My only concern is that this will delay my company approving the iPhone X. They want to run tests and have talked about disabling FaceID.

Separated at birth. Basically a stranger that looks identical to you.
Who knows - any of us could have had this happen to us! Maybe the doctors never told our parents... and... IDK... I'm really grasping now...
My guess is that a sample of 1 is too small to make conclusions on any system. Microsoft claims 1 in 100,000 vs Apple’s 1 in 1 million.
Totally. That's why my passcode is 123456.
what are they expecting 
well, if these guys really demanding a fool-proof that will not work with identical faces then just wait for a future authentication like DNA-ID.. where we will lick our phone to unlock it

Sorry for the off-topic, but your forum name and avatar made me smile. So funny.
That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
True, but if Apple's numbers are to be believed, that's much less common than two random people having close enough fingerprints to unlock using Touch ID.

My wife has difficulty getting Touch ID to work about 25% of the time (yes, that was made up but it's in the ballpark). I have difficulties about 10% of the time (finger slightly wet or sweaty or dirty). My wife is looking forward to FACE ID (maybe on next year's iPhones) because of her frustrations with Touch ID.
TouchID doesn’t exist alone; iPhone requires a passcode too. I’d think this’d be the same with iPhone X & FaceID. Verification?
Good news... found my long lost brother... bad news... just lost my new phone.
Nope, just like with Touch ID, you can reset it as much as you want. (Until the chip fails from rewrites, but that'll be millions of overwrites probably.)
Well, I care. Fortunately my ****bag brother and I don't look alike, but if we did, he'd never be in a sight line with my X.
