Apple’s Face ID is one the main features of the new iPhone X. It is, ostensibly far more secure than using a fingerprint sensor, but it seems that a security firm has already beaten the new system with a custom-made mask.

That’s a critical step in generating a 3D model of the face that the phone’s software uses to identify you. Bkav states that this means that Apple’s facial recognition is not very sophisticated and that they leveraged that knowledge to trick the AI.

This is no confirmation of a final feature, but it would be another likely use for the iPhone 8's rumored 3D face-scanning technology. A previous leak hints the iPhone 8 will have infrared face unlock, a form of biometric security that would let users access the device without physically engaging with its lockscreen. Utilizing the same sensors, the iPhone 8 could be smart enough to know that you're looking at your phone as notifications role in, silencing the alerts because you've already seen them.
