Why Apple iPhone X Is Two Years Ahead of Android Devices ?

iPhone is certainly the best iPhone ever

Apple’s upcoming iPhone X has one feature that is far ahead of its Android-based competitors. 

That's the argument by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who told investors in a research note on Monday that the iPhone X’s facial-scanning feature, Face ID, puts it one-and-a-half to two-and-a-half years ahead of rival technology in Android-based alternatives like Samsung’s Galaxy S8.

According to Apple-tracking site 9to5Mac, which earlier reported on the note, Kuo believes Apple’s AAPL TrueDepth technology, which uses face scanning to determine whether to open access to a particular phone, is a major technological leap forward.

He also said that isn’t something Android competitors can easily replicate because of its ability to analyze a person’s facial features in 3D. Most competing face scanners analyze a person’s face in 2D only. The company has published a detailed white paper that sets out precisely how Face ID is built, to show how it is safe. It doesn't explain all of the technology behind it – much of which is secret and belongs to Apple – but makes clear how the phone ensures that the detailed information it collects is kept secure, as well as how the phone is kept safe.

The facial recognition data never actually leaves the phone, for instance – and even inside of the phone, is kept in a specifically secure part, meaning that even Apple can't see it.

Other apps can use the facial recognition technology. But they never actually see any of that information in that case, either – they simply ask the phone whether the person using it is the owner, and receive a yes or no in return.

That said, some apps can use the information generated by some of the same cameras, though. On official debut, Apple showed off how Snapchat can use the facial mapping to generate new kinds of filters on your face (a feature named Animoji)– but in that case it only receives a "mesh" picture of your face, in nothing like the right amount of detail to be able to use it to trick its way into your phone.

And here's the most interesting feature about Apple's facial recognition which sets it apart fron Android counterparts :

Apple makes it clear that the phone adds to its mathematical representation of your face over time. So if, for instance, you wear glasses and then look at the phone, it might not initially recognise you – but once you get your way in with a passcode, it will add the image of you with glasses on and be able to look out for that in the future.

And here's yet another interesting thing about Apple's Face ID tech:

An entirely extra neural network is watching all the time to see whether something strange is going on, and if someone appears to be trick the phone – using things like a photograph, which couldn't work because the phone needs to map the face in 3D, or a more sophisticated map. If it sees that and thinks something is wrong, then it will lock down the phone and allow it only to be opened with a passcode.

Our Verdict:

Say hello to the future: iPhone X here !

Hence, iPhone X is simply the best phone Apple has ever made. But be ready to pay a hefty sum of it. iPhone X has been released on Friday, November 3, 2017 in selected countries.
