How Apple’s on-device facial detection works

Apple today pushed a new post to its Machine Learning Journal blog launched in the summer.
Among other things, Face ID lets you authenticate any purchases made in iTunes Store, App Store or iBooks Store, which permits you to buy apps and media with a simple glance.
Apple did say during the iPhone X keynote that Face ID wasn't twin-safe, but that didn't stop media outlets like Mashable and Business Insider from conducting their own “twin tests” to demonstrate that Apple's 3D facial recognition system is not absolutely secure.
No iPhones introduced in 2018 will be outfitted with a rear-mounted TrueDepth camera system because Apple and its suppliers are expected to focus on reducing costs and selling prices while implementing other spec upgrades to attract consumers, as per analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
It would seem that Apple gave select YouTubers permission to post early impression videos of iPhone X ahead of its scheduled launch this coming Friday, November 3.
If a new report from Bloomberg is to be trusted, Apple's marquee 3D facial recognition feature of iPhone X may not be as accurate as originally demonstrated.
Famed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities is saying that Apple is abandoning Touch ID, which he thinks will be superseded by Face ID on all iPhone models coming next year.
Another significant bottleneck in mass production of the TrueDepth camera system for iPhone X has been removed with news that Taiwanese supplier Himax Technologies has now started shipments of a key Face ID component to Apple.
Android vendors are clamoring to copy Apple's 3D facial recognition technology, dubbed Face ID, and the TrueDepth camera built into the upcoming iPhone X, says revered Apple analyst.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is adamant that iPhone X's advanced 3D facial recognition technology based on Apple's new TrueDepth camera system will make its way into new iPad Pro and iPhone models scheduled to be released next year.
Regaining access to a locked Facebook account, especially if you cannot receive two-factor authentication SMS because you're traveling abroad, could soon become a lot easier with news that Facebook is testing facial recognition for its account recovery process.
Huawei has readily jumped on the opportunity to take swipe at Apple's flubbed Face ID demonstration during the iPhone X keynote last Tuesday, promising that its upcoming Mate 10 device will be “the real AI phone.”
