Apple's face recognition in iPhone X raises security concerns

Washington

APPLE will let you unlock the iPhone X with your face - a move likely to bring facial recognition to the masses, along with concerns over how the technology may be used for nefarious purposes.

Apple's newest device, set to go on sale on Nov 3, is designed to be unlocked with a facial scan with a number of privacy safeguards - as the data will be stored only on the phone and not in any databases.
