Can twins fool iPhone X's facial recognition?

The brand new Face ID, present in the iPhone X, has been giving a lot of talk since it was announced by Apple. The current question is whether the facial recognition system is capable of differentiating the faces of identical twins. So, is it possible that the other twin can use the sibling's device?

Mashable conducted a test on the matter and came to a conclusion: "We split two sets of twins to see if they could fool the face ID feature on the iPhone X." One of the twins set up the facial recognition system using his own face, then locked and unlocked the smartphone with just his face and then handed it to his twin brother.

The surprise (or not!) is that Face ID recognized the second face as the original. Therefore, the system was not able to mathematically differentiate the more than 30 thousand points projected on the face of the other twin. In short, he believed it was the same person.

It is worth mentioning that Face ID is in its first version, so over time it can be improved. The trend is for Apple to bring the feature to all its future devices.
