iPhone X it will have worse accuracy for Face ID due to a change made by Apple for the front 3D camera used in its new phone this year. I told you a few hours ago about the radical measure made by Apple to ensure that it has enough cameras to be able to assemble more iPhone X phones to cover the demand on the market, but this affects the accuracy of Face ID.
iPhone X will have a worse Face ID because Apple has relaxed the tolerance limits based on which the laser sensor that analyzes the faces of users is produced. Relaxing these tolerance limits has the effect of decreasing the accuracy of the sensor and implicitly of Face ID, so that the iPhone X will not perform facial recognition as well as Apple would like, but this is the compromise that must be made.
The Face ID system implemented by the Apple company iPhone X was in question anyway, and that's because of a problem at the time of the official presentation. Then Face ID in the iPhone X refused to work because the system had been blocked by a person who cleans the phones before the presentation, but the whole world was left with the impression that the system was not working properly.
iPhone X - Face ID accuracy is affected by a change in production
The iPhone X has most of the Face ID functionality implemented thanks to this laser sensor, and the relaxation of the production specifications raises many question marks. No one has said what kind of changes Apple made to increase the production of this component, but the component is so small that if the size is wrong by just a few microns, Face ID will not work.
"To boost the number of usable dot projectors and accelerate production, Apple relaxed some of the specifications for Face ID, according to a different person with knowledge of the process. As a result, it took less time to test completed modules, one of the major sticking points, the person said. "
iPhone X forces Apple to make another compromise, separate from the cutout in which the front camera is hidden to make ID, but the latter could be much more problematic. If Face ID won't work properly and won't recognize users' faces as it should, then iPhone X will be criticized by everyone and sales will definitely be affected, so Apple has a lot of problems on its head now.
iPhone X is scheduled for release by Apple on November 3, but pre-orders will officially begin on October 27. To be completely honest, I hope that the changes made by the Apple company are not as serious as it seems now and that Face ID in the iPhone X works as it should, otherwise there will be a lot of people dissatisfied with the phone.
