Using Apple ID with Face ID on iPhone X is as easy as it can ever get. Seriously, I had plenty of doubt concerning the accuracy and security of facial recognition before Apple’s latest flagship smartphone, the iPhone X was launched. But as soon as I had gone through what Face ID on the iPhone X has to offer, I had no more doubt about its efficacy.
