This mask supposedly tricked Apple's Face ID.
BkavApparently, the iPhone X's Face ID can be tricked -- under a very specific set of circumstances.
On Tuesday's podcast, we talk about:
- A Vietnamese company's claimed it tricked Face ID with a customized mask, as well as a New York family's video that shows the mom's 10-year-old son unlocking her iPhone X with his face. Apple declined to comment on both stories, but its White Paper brings up several issues with both assertions.
- The LG V30, which our reviewers said will give the Samsung Galaxy S8 a run for its money.
- Firefox's announcement that it's back and better than ever. Is that enough for you to give the browser another shot?
The 3:59 gives you bite-size news and analysis about the top stories of the day, brought to you by the CNET News team in New York and producer Bryan VanGelder.
