Brothers who are not identical twins fool iPhone 12 mini’s Face ID 

Apple’s Face unlocking system is unmatched and it is in fact superior to the face unlocking tech that is used in other smartphones.

Apple’s Face unlocking system is unmatched and it is in fact superior to the face unlocking tech that is used in other smartphones. But can a security-leaden Face unlocking feature by Apple be fooled? It is hard to believe but yes it can be. A Facebook user posted a video of a major flaw he discovered on his iPhone 12 mini’s Face ID. Apple first introduced the Face ID with its iPhone X in 2017. This was also the year Apple got rid of the Touch ID. A Facebook user named Vinamre Sood posted a video featuring himself and his brother. In the video, Sood unlocked his iPhone using FACE ID and passed it on to his brother, Upanshu. He then tries to unlock the phone using the same process and successfully manages to do so. The iPhone failed to detect that it was not Vinamre but Upanshu logging in from his phone. Captioning his video, Vinamre wrote, “Folks, Check this out. Uncovered major FLAW in Apple FaceID recognition software. This is the case with a reputed company in mobile industry selling over expensive phones in the name of “security” / “end to end control”, etc in their Marketing campaigns..where the end product is less secure than a cheap 6000 Rs android phone. Shame on you apple (sic).” The post was first spotted by News18. Notably, Vinamre and Upanshu are not identical twins. They happen to be born four years apart from each other. Although Apple does allow multi-user Face ID, the video says that no alternative face appearance was set up on the iPhone 12 mini.
