Can We Fool Face ID?

2017-11-03
so the iPhone 10 is here and I think for a lot of folks it is the iPhone that they've been waiting for full bezel this display the phone looks beautiful the screen is awesome finally high resolution and face ID and with that new way to unlock your phone came a ton of questions especially from me when it comes to security and also real world usage how's it gonna work in direct sunlight what if I grow a beer what if I change my hair Apple made some security claims on stage and it wouldn't work with masks we wanted to test all of these things and some more to see how face ID actually would perform out in the real world this is JB JB does most of our motion graphics and JB also can grow a pretty sweet man beard which he volunteered to do for the past two weeks as dudes our facial hair can change so we're gonna setup face ID with JB with with beard and then we're gonna shave it and see if it see if it works Hey so JB's clean clean shave JB embarrasses easily it's a big it's a big deal for him so first beer JB for shave JB leave in the comments down below most importantly let's try face ID and it's the first time we've tried it since he shaved unlock your foam it works so polarized sunglasses face ID if you're driving you're probably gonna have these suckers on and you're in a car see how it works unlocked so what about bizarre Matt looking polarized sunglasses let's see how these work that worked - so what about spider-man's wildered glasses alrights gonna shop nope I guess these crazy goggles keeping things keep my eyes out of it or it's not letting the dot see my face but if you're if you're a welder face that he is not gonna be a friend so one of the biggest security concerns I had with face ID was can somebody unlock your phone while you're sleeping let's let's test it doesn't work no dice your information safe and sneaky bag so like what if you're a really sound sleeper or maybe they took a sleeping pill no didn't work thank goodness house creepy so Apple made a point in their keynote to say face ID will not be fooled by a mask am I talking like Halloween mask I mean like a nightmare fuel mask that looks just like your face this one was made using only three stills you could get those stills from any video you might have of somebody so let's go ahead and see if this will work creepy Jabberwocky nope no dice so in another scenario we wanted to see a face ID could unlock in like the middle of a night if you're laying in bed and complete darkness unlocked no problem so a concern I know a lot of people had was what if you change hairstyles if you're a lady and you can grow bangs you grow your hair out your phone still gonna be able to unlock so we wanted to test it with some wigs alright I have not tried these on yet so we'll see how they look yeah does it work for me see if it works No No does not like this wig did not unlock wig number two my long flowing locks all right see this one works that unlock to the second try did not work the first time Georgie how about Pennywise Oh loves Pennywise I'm like no problem so a more likely scenario is that you go from long hip to short so we're gonna set up face ID with the wig on and then take it off and see how it works it's complete so let's just check to make sure it works lock no problem all right I'm having having a midlife crisis want to shave my head weight comes off get worried unlock no problem so earlier face unlocking technologies could sometimes be fooled by a picture or a video of the face so let's see how face ID does picture of my face not unlocking so direct sunlight obviously another use case let's see-oh face ID does unlock no problem and since we're outside a more likely use case for sunglasses let's try that again regular polarized unlock no problems weird and matte polarized lenses I'm locked no problem spider-man's goggles still doesn't work so overall I came away pretty impressed with phase ID aside from the notch stealing my hairline it worked about as well as I could expect I was surprised that it didn't work with that one wig but overall with almost everything else it worked well I had a bit of concern that direct sunlight and unlocked really fast when JB shaved his beard I don't you guys could see it but it unlocked almost instantaneously it seems like it takes a little bit longer than when you used to put your thumb on touch ID but there's at the time of you having to move your hand to put it on top of there so it seems like it's about a one-to-one came across at least initially pretty impressed with base I mean we'll use our iPhone 10 in there for to let you know if that changes but in almost every scenario where you expected it to work it did and Serio's where we hoped it wouldn't work it didn't perform so so far so good for face ID but if your expenses been with face ideas it worked for you not work from you I'd like to know leave in the comments down below so JB was choice number two for the beard this has been happening for a long time we tried to get Jesse to shave it for the video but it wasn't being a team player but I'm saying it on camera if we get 30,000 likes on this video Jesse's gonna shave his beard so like the video cuz I wonder what that face looks like without that happen
