Watch: iPhone X Facial ID fooled within week of launch by 10-year old boy

Cybersecurity researchers have found an ingenious way to fool Apple’s Face ID just a week after the launch of the iPhone X.

More embarrassing still for the tech giant, a 10-year old boy has found a way round the security check.

The new feature uses infrared light to map users’ faces and unlock the phone when the owner’s face hoves into view.
