On September 12, Apple introduced the iPhone X with a new Face ID function that recognizes the owner's face when he looks at the screen. A few days after the announcement, a special mask appeared in the Chinese online store, which should protect the user from trying to unlock the iPhone X with the help of his face. This is written by TJournal.

Using Face ID, you can unlock your smartphone and make purchases, but users and experts have wondered how safe it is and whether you can access the device without the consent of its owner.

In the Chinese online store Taobao appeared special masks that should protect the user from trying to unlock the iPhone X with the help of his face.

Prices for masks vary from 25 yuan (about 3.75 dollars) to 888 yuan (about 130 dollars).

In the description of most masks indicated that they must protect the owner of the iPhone X during sleep. Some sellers just in case offer to close the whole face completely.

However, it is worth recalling that you can not unlock the phone with the help of a sleeping owner (it does not matter if it is in the mask or not): Face ID does not work with the eyes closed.
