While the creepy half-face mask does indeed appear to have unlocked the iPhone X in the video with ease, it’s not entirely clear if this test shows that anyone could potentially have their phone broken into with a few hours of arts and crafts work. As
Ars Technica points out, Bkav does not make it clear whether its mask was able to open the iPhone on its first attempt, or whether the phone learnt over time not to distinguish between the mask and the phone owner’s real face. (FaceID on the iPhone X continually rescans and updates its face model to better learn the face of its owner.)
