Swipe up for other apps, similar to iOS 11 on iPad in a small sense
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:22:48 PM
Swipe up and pause, and you're in multi-task mode.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:23:00 PM
You can say Hey Siri or press the larger side button to call Siri.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:23:06 PM
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:23:09 PM
Side button launches Siri, like Bixby button on S8/Note 8
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:23:24 PM
How do you unlock the iPhone?
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:23:30 PM
Is TouchID really gone?
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:23:34 PM
Schiler goes through slide to unlock and TouchID.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:23:42 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:23:43 PM
We can do something that's better, he says.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:23:52 PM
Facial recognition is that new progress.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:23:53 PM
FaceID.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:24:00 PM
Sorry, it's Face ID.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:24:07 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:24:13 PM
Face ID is the future of how we will unlock our phones, Schiller says.
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:24:18 PM
Face ID is real. Unlock with your face. "the future of how we unlock our smartphones and protect our personal information"

It uses a TrueDepth camera system, made up of an infared camera, flood illuminator, dot projector, and front camera.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:24:49 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:24:56 PM
Every time you glance at your phone, even in the dark, it works.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:25:07 PM
The dot projector puts out thousands of invisible IR dot.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:25:07 PM
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:25:19 PM
The infrared sensor checks those dots to see if it's a match.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:25:24 PM
It works in real time and invisibly.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:25:51 PM
To create Face ID, they developed multiple neural networks to process this. Apple build a neural engine for this.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:25:58 PM
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:25:59 PM
That's a ton of sensors. Neural networks leaned on for Face ID. A neural engine is in the A11 Bionic chip
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:26:02 PM
A11 Bionic neural engine to process face recognition.
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:26:14 PM
This seems like a camera array that will end up in lots of things.
Roger Cheng 9/12/2017 6:26:21 PM
Samsung, by the way, has this with the GS8 and Galaxy Note 8, but the execution seems different.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:26:33 PM
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:26:54 PM
This is basically Apple's high-octane computer vision camera array.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:26:57 PM
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:27:13 PM
Will recognize you with any outfit or hat! (THIS WILL BE TESTED)
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:27:52 PM
They just showed a row of faces, very Game of Thrones

Face data protected by secure enclave, on-device
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:28:12 PM
Connie Guglielmo 9/12/2017 6:28:17 PM
Your face data is protected by secure enclave. On-device processing -- not sent to a server, Schiller says.
David Katzmaier 9/12/2017 6:28:49 PM
Scott Stein 9/12/2017 6:28:55 PM
Touch ID - odds of someone else unlocking 1 in 50,000. For Face ID, one in a million.
Connie Guglielmo 9/12/2017 6:29:12 PM
Touch ID -- the chance that a random person could use your fingerprint is 1 in 50,000. With Face ID, Apple says chances are 1 in a million that random person can unlock iPhone X with their face.
