He added that isn&#8217;t something Android competitors can easily replicate because of its ability to analyze a person&#8217;s facial features in 3D. Most competing face scanners analyze a person&#8217;s face in 2D.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Apple unveiled Face ID last month for iPhone X. the high-end phone that starts at $999. The technology is believed to have been at least partly come from the acquisition of camera sensor maker PrimeSense in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Get Data Sheet, Fortune\u2019s technology newsletter<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">In order to catch up, rivals will either need to build similar technology or acquire smaller firms focused on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">At its iPhone press event last month, Apple made a point of comparing Face ID to similar technology used in rival devices. The company said that it can&#8217;t be fooled into giving users access to phones based on photos or by scanning human-looking masks. And unlike Android-based facial scanning alternatives, it is more secure than its Touch ID fingerprint sensor in the iPhone 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy S8 face-scanning features have been criticized for being fooled by scanning photos, providing a window that hackers can use to dupe the technology. Samsung, however, has said that its face scanner is secure.In terms of sales, Kuo believes the iPhone X will be in big demand by consumers. He estimates that Apple will sell 30 million to 35 million of them over the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/fortune.com\/2017\/10\/02\/apple-iphone-x-android\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/apple-iphone-x-two-years-ahead-android-devices.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Apple iPhone X Is Two Years Ahead of Android Devices Why Apple iPhone X Is Two Years Ahead of Android Devices:- Apple&#8217;s upcoming iPhone X has one feature that is far ahead of its Android-based competitors.
