iPhone X has flax Face ID two very important functions that you need to know about if you decide to buy the company's new phone Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, you should know about them. After the presentation of Face ID and iPhone X, many people started asking questions about the functionality of the facial recognition system, and Craig Federighi, the man who presented the embarrassing moment of Face ID on stage, offers some interesting details.
iPhone X will be able to be unlocked through Face ID with many models of sunglasses, Craig Federighi avoiding to offer brand names because he does not know. However, he explained that most sunglasses allow infrared light to pass through the lenses to allow the iPhone X's Face ID to see our eyes, so the system should work very well with many of them.
The iPhone X could have problems with glasses that have a high level of polarization, because they could prevent the passage of infrared light for Face ID, but I'm not an expert on the subject. However, the fact that Face ID will work with most sunglasses is a very good thing for those who will buy the iPhone X and do not want to activate the function that does the unlocking even when our eyes are closed.

The iPhone X also has a very interesting security feature for Face ID, Craig Federighi explaining it for a question that had in mind the theft of the phone. More precisely, Face ID is disabled immediately if the side buttons of the iPhone X are pressed simultaneously, so from that moment it will be necessary to enter the phone's security code to allow unlocking using facial recognition.
The iPhone X should block Face ID when the volume up buttons and the side lock button are pressed simultaneously, so no one will be able to access the phone. Apple has implemented this security measure for the moments when the iPhone X is handed over to another person, stolen, or when someone tries to authenticate without us wanting it, but the security measure is not perfect.
iPhone X will have a very complex and thought-out Face ID to cover extremely many situations of regular use, but it remains to be seen how it will behave after the official launch. There will certainly be people dissatisfied with Face ID after the launch of the iPhone X, but it remains to be seen whether it is because of the difficulties in recognizing faces, or the difficulty with which the unlocking is done.
