David Hanak If you've had an iPhone in recent years, you're probably very familiar with how Touch ID works. You simply scan your finger into your phone and it then serves as the main authorization element. You can scan multiple fingers, you can even scan other people's fingers if you want them to have easy access to your iPhone. That ends with the iPhone X, because as it turned out, Face ID can only be connected to one user.
Apple has officially confirmed this information – Face ID will always be set to only one specific user. If someone else wants to use your iPhone X, they will have to make do with the security code. Apple gave this information to several different people who were trying out the newly unveiled flagship after Tuesday's keynote. For now, there is only support for one user, with the possibility that this number will increase in the future. However, Apple representatives did not want to comment on anything specific.

Limitation to one user is not such a problem in case of iPhone. However, once Face ID reaches, for example, MacBooks or iMacs, where multiple user profiles are normal, Apple will have to solve the situation somehow. It can therefore be expected that this approach will change in the future. If you're planning to buy an iPhone X, keep the above-mentioned information in mind.

So what do I miss on the iPhone? Dual SIM, I live abroad. This is the reason why I can never get one. Similarly, quality phones from Samsung have dual. So I would exchange about 70% of the function for a longer battery life. Children's user interfaces could be switched to adults, who would certainly be able to do it just as well.
It also follows from the logic of the matter. Everyone has only one face. When iOS lets you sign in to different user accounts, FaceID will work accordingly. I have no doubt that when FaceID is on the Mac, it will automatically switch between user accounts.
As an Apple-centric medium, don't you want to start spelling Face ID right? Just a suggestion…
