CALIFORNIA (Web Desk) - Apple faced an embarrassing moment when the face ID demonstration of its most expensive iPhone X didn’t went as planned.
During Apple’s big event Tuesday, company executive Craig Federighi tried to unlock an iPhone X using Apple’s new face recognition system, Face ID. But the phone asked for a passcode instead and Federighi quickly replaced it with another iPhone X, which worked as advertised.
Apple issued a statement later clarifying the glitch.

“People were handling the device for stage demo ahead of time,” an Apple spokesperson told Yahoo, “and didn’t realise Face ID was trying to authenticate their face. After failing a number of times, because they weren’t Craig, the iPhone did what it was designed to do, which was to require his passcode. Face ID worked as it was designed to.”
People thinking of buying iPhone X can now take a sigh of relief as there is nothing wrong with the phone but with the staff instead.
