Face ID on the iPhone X is great for quickly unlocking your device, but there are times when you don't want it to work -- like if a friend grabs your phone, a mugger steals it, or you have to deal with the police.

We all keep private information on our smartphones in the form of photos, text messages, and even access to our financial information. Apple claims that the iPhone X makes all that data even more secure thanks to Face ID, but there's one group of people this may not apply to: Your family.

Here's a fix for a very specific issue with the iPhone X. If Face ID doesn't work the first time, how can you get it to rescan without physically picking up the phone or navigating away from the lock screen?

When Apple first announced Face ID for the iPhone X, it claimed the new feature was significantly more secure than Touch ID and couldn't be fooled by even the most realistic of masks. But it turns out that might not be the case.

Face ID, the new face-scanning security camera introduced in the iPhone X, works pretty flawlessly most of the time. But there's one place where Apple's latest tech may be giving you trouble: in bed.

The iPhone X is almost here, but a new report claims Apple is struggling to make enough copies. According to Bloomberg, the company may have even lowered the accuracy requirements for its new facial recognition Face ID camera to help its suppliers meet demands on time.

In a newly released white paper, Apple has detailed how Face ID works. As a new form of authentication for iOS users, there have been lots of questions as users and businesses question whether the system can be fooled and how safe it is compared to other forms of authentication.

Aside from the embarrassing gaffe that put Apple's Face ID in the spotlight when it failed to recognise Craig Federighi's smiling visage during the Apple dog-and-pony show earlier this week, Face ID is now facing questions from the US senate. But the implications are broader and the questions Tim Cook is being asked are interesting.
