Apple accused of racism after Face ID fails to distinguish between Chinese iPhone X users
There have been several reports of Apple's Face ID failing to distinguish between users

 Apple has been accused of racism, amid reports that the Face ID authentication technology on its new iPhone X is failing to distinguish between Chinese users.

A man from Shanghai bought his wife the new gadget soon after it was released last month, but she was shocked to discover it could be unlocked by her teenage son.

The man, identified only by his surname Liu, phoned Apple's customer service hotline to report the problem.

"Our son was using it and didn't know the password", he said, according to Shandong TV Station .

He was told it was an isolated case and was due to the fact his wife and son look very similar. However, Apple has reportedly launched an investigation into the Liu family's claims.

How does Apple's Face ID work? Here's what you need to know about the iPhone X's signature feature

This is not the first reported incident of Chinese users being able to unlock each other's iPhone Xs.

Last week, AsiaOne reported that a woman from Nanjing discovered her colleague was able to unlock her phone using Face ID.

When Madam Yan first called Apple's hotline to complain about the problem, the customer service representative told her it was "impossible".

However, when pair took the phone to the store to prove what had happened, they found they could unlock all the phones in the store.

"We look quite ordinary. What if someone picks up my phone and opens it?" said Madam Yan's colleague, Madam Wan.

"Then they could buy stuff through my phone and make payments. We don't have any sense of security."

Apple claims the probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it using Face ID is approximately one in a million. However, there are some caveats.

If you have a twin or a sibling who looks very similar to you, the probability of a false match is higher.

It is also higher for children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have fully developed, according to Apple.

The company claims to have worked with people all over the world to ensure the product accessible to people of different ethnicities.

"We worked with participants from around the world to include a representative group of people accounting for gender, age, ethnicity, and other factors," said Cynthia Hogan , Apple's vice president of public policy for the Americas, in October.

"We augmented the studies as needed to provide a high degree of accuracy for a diverse range of users."

 People are using the term "Racist" far to much. It's as if they believe everybody and everything is racist but them, I believe it is the reverse.
How would they know what is in my heart.

You don't follow their words of truth and wisdom.

it isn't about what you believe- its about their power - they use the magic word and automatically have the moral high ground.  unless you're assuming they even care about what you think.
When i want to have fun, i refer to 'them' as 'intellectual dilettantes brain washed by ivory tower demagogues'. (it works really well when i've been working all day, in dirty coveralls and a beer in my hand)

 I was born and raised in a multi-cultural neighborhood, lived all of my life in multi-cultural neighborhood, worked for, with and had work for me American blacks. I have yet to meet one than wasn't a racist. At work they all knew I was hearing impaired but they didn't notice when I got my hearing aids. Besides what I learned growing up I learned just how much backs hate white people. Here are some of the things I heard but there is so many I can't remember them all.
 Light skinned blacks are racist against dark skinned blacks.
 Rarely do you see blacks in a restaurant because they say they won't tip a white woman server.
 That Black Separate Theology teaches that not that blacks are better but whites are a lesser race. 

In my defense.

 In the Airforce in 1961 stationed in segregated Kansas the chief doctor asked me if I we would accept a black doctor GYM for my wife's pregnancy. He also delivered my first son. Why? Because he was a DOCTOR!
 In 2014 the doctor we chose to do open heart surgery on my wife was black. Why? Because he was the best in the state! 

 I don't and never have looked at the color of a mans skin. Learned that from my father when a customer ask him why he served negro's. My father answer was "All I care about is the color of his Money"

For most of my life at home we had a black live in maid. Her name was Liz and has long since left this world for her reward.

Anyway, Liz had relatives in Washington DC. Several times a year she would take the train down to visit them. Upon return each and every time she talked in disgust about her working aged relatives.

She would say:

> They are lazy,
> They would ridicule her for working for a white family,
> They wouldn't eat a balanced meal, e.g. starches Vs. the pyramid (Protein, veggies and starch),
> Et Cetera.

She would go on and on. Once my brother asked her to take him and her reply was, "NO! My relatives are niggers!" Being a rather liberal/progressive person, my mother gasped at her saying that. LOL. 

Eventually my brother and I moved out of the house, our folks got a divorce so there was no need for Liz. She ended up getting a job in the local hospital's kitchen and stayed at our house Pro Bono while she found an apartment close to the hospital.

When Liz retired from the hospital she had risen to the position of the hospital's kitchen manager. 

Liz was a hard worker, had a great sense of humor, loved her Lord and all in all a great lady however she was not too keen on me.

My bedroom was above the houses kitchen and I would hear her talking to my Dad about me quite often as he sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast. She always referred to me as "the devil child!"

So you really the big bad guy who is going to rise from hades and take over the world and bring on the end of it all!

Better get busy.  The way things are going it don't seem like you have much time left before the end comes on a non-religious basis.
