I agree with you - it's neither Apple nor Forbes' fault that it can be cracked. Nothing is 100% safe anyway - I mean even the Face ID on the Apple can be fooled by real people (forget fake heads!)(https://appleinsider.com/articles/17/11/14/video-shows-10-year-old-unlocking-mothers-iphone-x-via-face-id) 

But there are some valid points to this test : 

• The iPhone is around twice the price of the Androids tested according the article
• Androids with 3D Face (ie Huawei Mate 20 Pro or Xiaomi Mi 8 or Oppo Find X) are conveniently left off 
• There is generally a setting to enable a 'blink' or direct site to open - no mention of it ... was it even on ? 

I think any person interested in technology (ie a non bias) is going to look at this and think 'Hmmmmmm'. Obviously, I'd expect most this forum in particular to pat each on the back because this 'test' favours an iPhone. 

Speaking of Warren Buffet, I'm glad he's in it for the long run ... I'm sure didn't expect the decline, but he's in positive spirits I guess

The recent downturn, however, has caused the value of his investment to drop by nearly $17 billion from its recent highs.

They're definitely slowing down with the competition. Good thing they've stopped dishing out the sales numbers, right? They're also losing market share to Huawei who have rocketed up in the last few years and dropped to the 3rd largest smartphone maker on the planet.

I'm not saying they're unsuccessful at all, but close to 30% share price drop, slow iPhone sales/demand and declining market share is something that should be addressed sooner, rather than later.

You don't think the test would be more objective if they included phones with the same type system ... ? 

I mean cherry picking is cool 'n stuff, but majority of technical people (ie not Android or iPhone fans) are going to pick up the rather obvious issue. But it'd be far more fair if they included an Android rival with a real facial recognition system like the iPhone

It'd probably make for better reading too ...

So wait - the aim was test the 3D recognition feature of the iPhone against the Androids?
But then they selected only 2D facial recognition systems in the Androids?
So, the compared a feature that the Androids didn't even have?

Revolutionary!

They should do a test of the iPhone X fingerprint recognition versus the Androids. I can see the heading 'Android consistently beats iPhone X fingerprint sensor '

In fairness, I'd hate to buy a 2.0l car and it's 1.8l ...
or a 60" TV and it's 55" ...
or a 21MP SLR and it's an 18MP

It's be good - fantastic really - if products were as labelled. 

To be honest though, I didn't think iPhone users would pick this up ... they're not into specs 

I hope you've never bought a television. A 65" television, for example, is often 64.5".

I think that's the difference - the manufacture mentions the size in specs and datasheets etc . I'm not 100% on this Apple lawsuit, but it they mentioned it someone - then I'm with you all. But if they didn't and it was found out, then I think it's a legit suit ?
