As the most amazing mobile phone this year, all kinds of new functions of iPhone X naturally aroused everyone's concern. Especially after iPhone X adopted Face ID unlocking technology to replace Touch ID fingerprint unlocking, even the example of unlocking failure appeared at the press conference, which caused all kinds of concerns. What should we do if Face ID cannot be unlocked?
A few days ago, Craig Federighi, Apple's director of software engineering, answered the reason why he failed to unlock Face ID at the press conference "Because before the presentation at the press conference, a staff member took the demonstrated iPhone X to play with it, but the staff member did not realize that the Face ID system was verifying their face to unlock it. Due to too many failed verification unlocks, the iPhone X was locked. At this time, it can only be unlocked with a password."
In addition, Craig Federighi also revealed that in order to prevent thieves from taking away the owner's iPhone X and force the owner to use Face ID to unlock, Apple has specifically set two security mechanisms for this situation:
1. As long as the owner does not look at the phone, Face ID cannot be unlocked.
2. Before the owner is forced to hand over iPhone X, press the power key and volume key of iPhone X at the same time, and face ID unlocking will be temporarily disabled.
In this way, Apple's protection mechanism is good.
