New York: Apple is offering a nifty way to unlock its new iPhone X — just stare at it.
Face ID, Apple's name for its facial-recognition technology, replaces the fingerprint sensor found on other models.
How well does it work — not just technically, but in everyday use? After all, it's much easier to align your finger with the sensor than to align your face with the phone.
The iPhone X costs about $1,000 — $300 more than the iPhone 8. Advance orders began this past Friday, and Apple is now giving delivery times of five to six weeks. Apple says it will have limited supplies at stores for same-day pickup on Friday, but you'll have to get there early.
