I told yaz dat dey all look alike! http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2124313/chinese-woman-offered-refund-after-facial-recognition-allows Chinese woman offered refund after facial recognition allows colleague to unlock iPhone X A woman in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing has been offered a second refund after faulty facial recognition software on two iPhone X handsets allowed her colleague to unlock them. The woman, identified only by her surname Yan, told the Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation that despite activating and configuring each phone’s facial recognition software, her work colleague was able to get into both devices on every attempt. Yan said the first time it happened, she called the Apple hotline, but the staff would not believe her. Shen then went with her colleague to the nearest Apple store, where her colleague used facial recognition on the phone to demonstrate the issue to staff, according to the report. The store said the camera might be faulty and gave Yan a refund. But the new iPhone X that she bought also had the same problem, prompting the shop to offer another refund, the report said. No details were given about whether the woman decided to purchase a third iPhone X. |

Apple touts Face ID as having 1-in-a-million odds, so this colleague must be one of the 8 people in Nanjing (population 8 million) who look enough like her to fool the phone. |
