Don't know if unlocking your phone is your highest concern then.

Yes, because you are trying to call 911?

 

[Soapbox Killer]

600Billion, just like Naruto!

 

[Metalmarc]

Yay apple have our

Voice Prints from Siri
Our Thumb Print fom Touch ID
And now our Face maps from Face ID

 

[Kensation]

"My CPU is a nural net processor, a learning computer."

 

[HoodWinked]

faceless men part of the development of face id apparently.

 

[Humidex]

Glasses and beards confirmed



It works.

And burqas?

 

[The Real Abed]

What happens in the dark?

It’s infrared.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

This thing better work EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Or they'll never live it down.

 

[undecided]

So this thing shines a light at you if you're in the dark?

Not human visible light.. infrared.

 

[Kalor]

I'm looking forward to the tests to try to spoof it.

 

[Big Blue]

IR?

 

[SexyFish]

PROTECT MY FACE DATA, DADDY COOK.

 

[f@luS]

The question is .. sometimes we use phones at different angles .. for example on our desks, in public transport etc.

We have to raise the phone directly to our face now to unlock? What if I am in a packed train? How am I supposed to unlock my phone?

Good question

 

[markhimself46]

The team has worked hard to protect our face data.

 

[Angelus Errare]

They have our face, heart rates, finger prints, all they need is our DNA and they're going to clone us!

 

[jelly]

I think people aren't buying this Face ID thing. Neither will Apple when they figure out how to bring it to the screen.

 

[samn]

Law enforcement will love this. Won't need to ask people or companies to unlock phones anymore. Just take the victim's face and put it to the phone.

before arrest press the sleep button 5 times to lock it

 

[Jag]

Poor Arya will never be able to unlock the X.

 

[Enco]

What if your face gets in an accident?

Use a pin?

Rescan your phone?

 

[akileese]

Well that was sufficiently creepy.

 

[Martinski43]

What about the faceless men assassins????

 

[Paquete_PT]

Is face ID something that we want or need? Is that a big technology breakout? Am I out of touch or are they? :/

 

[Auctopus]

My face data is pretty much freely available every day.

 

[digitalrelic]

I wonder if it will work on a corpse? Or someone unconscious?

Wouldn't the exact same questions apply to Touch ID though? (the answer is yes)

 

[Experien]

Law enforcement will love this. Won't need to ask people or companies to unlock phones anymore. Just take the victim's face and put it to the phone.

First thing people will do in the jail is try to disfigure their face.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

why didn't they just put the home button on the back like everyone else does nowadays?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

The bezel at top is for face scan?

 

[TCRS]

stock almost back to pre-keynote level hahaha

 

[ASIS]

Love the phone. But Face ID is some scary shit. We in Sci-Fi horror stories now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't think I'm ready to have to worry about my face being hacked.

 

[a916]

So this thing shines a light at you if you're in the dark?

LOL, it will blind me in the dark?

I laughed when he said it's all invisible... but I guess it was needed lol.

 

[kaskade]

I was just talking with my dad and I was like which site is going to make a realistic face model to try and spoof it? Looks like Apple already tried it.

 

[HardRojo]

What if I have a twin?

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Well I think I'm cool with the iPhone 8 for now.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Hopefully there's a password screen option for after you use Face ID for further protection.

 

[Duxxy3]

I wonder if it will work on a corpse? Or someone unconscious?

Don't see why not.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

Siri is a mess how can this go well

 

[serenewarfare]

And there's the cover for someone else trying to use it. It needs you looking at it.

 

[Mortemis]

can they make it not work when your eyes are closed

edit: nvm

 

[Barzul]

This is huge.

 

[Gandie]

IR?

It's IR light folks.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Probably been discussed in other threads, but what about legal implications of being forced to unlock your phone? Seems much easier for the police to shove your phone near your face to unlock it, rather than a password or pressing your finger on a button.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Apple is fucked if someone manages to fake entry. Hope it never happens. They're saying it's basically impossible but who knows.

 

[MThanded]

Shots fired at the trash facial recognition on other phones

 

[Salty Rice]

This is a bad idea.

Nicolas Cage could unlock John Travolta´s phone.

 

[DJ88]

"But what if I grow a beard?!"

"Someone can just unlock it with a picture!"

"What if it's dark?!"

 

[jwk94]

Show me this working at night, in dim lighting, on a dark-skinned black person and I'll be impressed.

 

[EmilioLargo]

Yes, because you are trying to call 911?

you don't need to unlock your phone for that.

 

[GameAddict411]

Windows Hello technology works in a similar by constructing a 3D model of your face. It also has infrared camera in low lighting situations. But here again we see Apple trying to show that they invented the wheel again.

 

[cws]

Wait....didnt we just have this ? Or is the stream messed up.
