Apple iPhone X reportedly supports one FaceID per device

NEW DELHI: Apple highlighted the FaceID feature of its all-new iPhone X launched earlier this week, along with iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus smartphones. The authentication feature also came in the news as it allegedly failed to get activated during the presentation of the company's software engineering SVP Craig Craig Federighi. However, Apple later clarified that it actually didn't fail and worked as it should.

Now, the latests reports about one of the hottest features of iPhone X claims that Apple FaceID will be limited to only one person per device. According to a report in TechCrunch, "Apple's forthcoming FaceID technology will support just one face registered per device, at least initially."

The report cites multiple people it spoke to at Apple event, held earlier this week. It remains be seen how this goes with the users as many of them may want to map the facial credentials of family members too.

Nokia 2 leak reveals colour variants and design

Blass has posted an image on Twitter showing the alleged Nokia 2 in two colour variants – Black and White. From the images, the models seem to sport a plastic back panel and big bezels at the front on all the four sides of the screen.

In case of TouchID, users could register multiple fingerprint sensors letting more than one person access the device.

For those unaware, the iPhone X bids goodbye to Home Button. The TouchID has been replaced by FaceID in the smartphone. This means that there's no fingerprint sensor in iPhone X. iPhone X uses facial recognition to unlock the device. Users can set up FaceID by letting their iPhone X make a detailed digital "map" of their face. Apple claims that FaceID is a lot easier and safer. According to the company, there's a one in a million chance of someone being able to 'hack' your phone. FaceID is said to run on 'neural engine' powered by the company's A11 Bionic processor.

Another highlight of the smartphone is its 5.8-inch edge-to-edge OLED Super Retina display. It features Apple's highest resolution phone display: 2436 x 1125 pixels at 458 pixels per inch density (ppi). The HDR display also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10.

At Rs 1,02,000 for 256GB, the Apple iPhone X sets new high for mainstream smartphones' pricing. The starting price of Rs 89,000 too makes it the most expensive iPhone launched so far.
