You mean dimmer in the dark and brighter in the light
Old information this tech been out for years it’s public information 💀💀
That's a pretty sista right there, not to discount the quality content that she provided, but damn. 😍
Good explanation. Subscribed.
I’ve seen the red dot
0:28 you can see face id with ur own eyes at night btw, its not invisible
Very good video, spectacular ❤
Unsung Hero right here. You'll go big, ma'am. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬🚀
Thank you!
That’s actually amazing
Quality content.
This is by far the most detailed but also easy to understand video I've seen about Face ID since it launched!
Very realistic, you did your research. I thought you were gonna go somewhere else with it, but you were on point. You didn't sensationalize it at all. Very informative. Keep it up. I have subscribed.
3:24 It’s Opposite I Guess 😂😅
Thank you for explaining something so complex into stuffs that were so easy to digest for most people!
Best explanation of sensors and the technology behind them. Thank you for the video and all the work❤
Informative video. Thanks!
3:26 no. Your phone doesn't get brighter in the dark and dimmer in the light. Why would it even do that? The screen gets brighter in the light so that you can see it. And dimmer in the dark so that it doesn't blind you. Your eyes adapt to the light level around you. In the dark your pupils open to let more light in. A bright screen would be too bright for your eyes. So it dims it. Opposite for daytime.
Heyyy, just wanted to comment cuz i liked ur vid an i wanna help u with the algorithm :) have a nice day btw!
Thank you!
Samsung WHO??
Israel made the face id, y'all on target 😆
Very interesting! Can’t wait to see more videos 😀
Thank you!
Another important caveat, especially in comparison to the passcode: It's much more easier for someone wanting to unlock your phone with touch ID and face ID without you knowing or consenting than it is with a passcode. A police officer might force you to tell him your passcode, but with face ID he can just quickly unlock it by holding it at your face for a few seconds.
It doesn’t work like that, you close your eyes and phone remains locked
First time watching ur video and it was actually nice, informative and really easy to understand even tho I’m into Tech. Have you a Sub immediately after watching it. Loved it. Nice video!!!
thanks for giving your face as face id sees it, now i just need to get your phone :D
Hi, I just found your video and love the format! Just 1 note at 3:26, the phone gets brighter in the light, and dimmer in the absence of light. But really enjoyed the whole thing!
great video!
Thank you!
Wait… but I can see the IR blaster blinking. I’m I the only one?
3.24 There’s a little misinformation here
Thank you for providing us the correct information
You are brilliant!
Thank you!
I think in the future, the camera button will be like Touch ID. Apple know what they’re doing with this thing
I was already familiar with how it worked but caught your video. Very well done!
Interesting video thanks. I have a friend and she can unlock her sisters iPhone. And they are not twins at all. Different weight and different age too. I thought it had much stronger security.
I never bought one of the Face ID devices and will not! Still use the iPhone 6s - so Apple lost a lot of money from me. And now I bought an iPad Air 6, which also offers Touch ID!
Have you tried scanning a 3d model/object with the front facing infrared sensor trueDepth camera? Heard its more precise than lidar, Nice video though, you've earned a subscriber
Awesome content-your topics are so relevant! I’m surprised you’re not getting more views. Have you thought about optimizing your thumbnails or making your editing style pop more? Little tweaks can go a long way.
Touch ID never worked for me, i guess my fingers are broken :D . FaceID always works. :D
Very cool video
The face ID unlocked the phone of a friend of mine when my cousin looked into it (they're not related!).
Yessirrr love to see another small creator making high quality content.
where is the comments like android did this 10 years ago?
0:09 "Most people don't realise that..." That's is the f-ing reason why iPhones have bigger notch than Samsung... And also the reason why iPhone is used for vtubing...
9:11 There’s a little misinformation here. It’s is not checking for just your face, but also your eyes should be looking at the phone. Hold your iPhone to your face but don’t look at it. It won’t unlock your iPhone. Once you move your eyes to your iPhone, it unlocks. This is why it is called “Attention Awareness”.
0:20 the red dot is not the camera it’s the dot projector and the camera just see the pattern Also newer iphone have ambient light sensor under the screen to reduce the size of true dept system
Very interesting, it's something I did not know about at all, thank you.
Your phone cover not fitting completely is triggering my ocd😂
You clearly put a lot of work into this video. Very helpful info. Some of the comments noticed some info that needs clarity but I still think you did an amazing video here
Thank you!
They still have to lock with pin so even if face id is billion time hard to unlock.. risk of pin will still be there
Underrated Chanel! I LOVE the editing skills, video quality and audio!
Thank you!
FaceID is one of the main reasons my personal sim is in my iPhone 16 pro max and not in my s24 ultra. Considering most people unlock their phones 50+ times a day, the added convenience of FaceID over Samsung’s 2d facial recognition or the fingerprint scanner adds up quickly, and everything else I do on my phone is unaffected by platform. Yes I know Samsung phones are more customisable but I have a life, I’m not spending time customising my phones Fingerprint scanners are objectively not as good at unlocking your phone cause in 2024 I shouldn’t have to manually take an extra step touch a specific part of my phone to unlock the phone or a banking app or hidden apps or whatever, and Samsung’s 2d facial recognition is total garbage.
Really interesting how it works, thanks for the video! But i have a problem with iphone security. FaceID sounds really good and safe, but it doesnt matter because we can still bypass the faceID with passcode in case of scanning failed, so anybody can get access to my phone if they know my passcode, just like on the first iphone in 2007. :(
