The main feature of the iPhone X was the face ID scanner, which works at the expense of the TrueDepth camera, consisting of a number of sensors and sensors. All of them function as one whole, recognizing the person's face in a matter of a fraction of a second. Nevertheless, this function has some significant limitations, because of which many people may not like it at all.

For example, Apple claims that Face ID does not work with children under 12 years old, and the main disadvantage of this technology is that the function can simultaneously recognize the face of only one person, whereas in any modern iPhone with Touch ID you can make prints Fingers of five people at once, and with all of it he will fully work.

In other words, Face ID is a way of protecting only one person. Many believe that in the new iPhone, which will be announced in 2018, Apple will finalize this technology and make it so that it can simultaneously recognize the faces of several people at once. It sounds really very attractive, but the well-known analyst Min-Chi Kuo has a completely different opinion.

The expert claims that the Face ID scanner in the iPhone 2018 will not be at all what everyone expects. He will not get any meaningful changes in comparison with those in the iPhone X.

This means that with children under the age of 12, it still can not work, and its functionality will still be available to only one person, and not, for example, members of the same family or employees of the same work team.

This is due to the fact that by the time of the announcement of new smartphones iPhone in 2018, Apple should fully cope with the deficit of TrueDepth cameras, which will lead to their cheaper. If the "apple" corporation somehow improves Face ID face scanner, it will again lead to greater production difficulties, which it will not have time to solve before the sales of its new mobile devices.
