Apple introduced Face ID with iPhone X at an event on September 12. Given Face ID features is a first on any iPhone, several questions like whether it will work with multiple faces or sunglasses, followed the launch. Now the Cupertino giant seems to have cleared the air by confirming to reporters that Face ID is limited to one face. To switch, users will have to reset the iPhone X. In contrast, Touch ID allows for registering up to five fingerprints to unlock the pone.
Separately, Apple’s Craig Federighi has revealed a coupled of details about Face ID in reply to a mail by Keith Krimbel, who is a product designer. Krimbel posted a screenshot of Federighi’s reply on Twitter along with a caption that read, “E-mailed #CraigFederighi about #FaceID and actually got a response!”
As per the screenshot, Face ID works with most sunglasses, those which let through enough light for Face ID to recognise the users’ eyes. In response to what will prevent a thief from taking the iPhone X, pointing to a user’s face and running away; Federighi explained that the phone won’t unlock if users don’t stare at it. Plus, gripping the buttons on both sides of iPhone X will temporarily disable the Face ID.
Incidentally, Apple’s first Face ID demo failed during a live session at the launch of the iPhone X. Later, Apple cleared the air by explaining that there’s nothing wrong with the Face ID and the error happened because too many people were handling the device for “stage demo” ahead of the actual launch.
