My Face Unlocks My Brothers X

Why is it concerning? Because you think it means all people who are 4 years apart can unlock each other's phone? Because you have a friend or sibling who looks like you? Because you are worried about a stranger with your face unlocking your phone? Please tell us what the concern is.
Obviously it’s not an issue for us security wise but was a bit of a surprise when that padlock flipped!
On a slightly unrelated note - anybody know the limit for Apple Pay at Harvey Nichols?

You and your brother aren't that similar. Maybe to the layperson, you are.
Pupil distance and nose bridge width are already quite different.
I was going to say that. Jaw line and chin also. I would expect FaceID to tell the difference there.
Perhaps over time as he uses it you will not be able to open it anymore as they claim it gets more precise over time, and it will continue ‘learning’
I would too but from reading these posts I’m not too sure anymore.

Yeh he’s told me to stop doing it before the phone becomes mine (which is fair game I’ve told him).
If your parents can tell the difference, a camera should be able to tell.
Most posters here aren't looking at your photo carefully.
Are you sure you guys aren't twins? Good god guys, I don't see any differences. Poor face ID will get it wrong with you two.
And so it starts. I do not trust Face ID, not for a minute. The phone looks great, but I would disable Face ID.
So security is great except for siblings, twins, and those who look "lust like you". I cant believe people are trying to rationalize this as OK. One in a Million.

If this is true and others can do the same, the banks will pull out of Apple Pay quick.
That’s really interesting, as everything I’ve read says that the Samsung facial recognition system is less advanced than Apple’s.
Four years apart...?
Which one of you came out first and which one stayed up in there for FOUR FRIGGIN YEARS?!?!

Apple Pay works with a four-digit PIN that can be known and memorized. Face ID is probably still better.
Face ID works but for family members, is probably down to 1:1000. Expecting a fortress of security for a consumer device isn't realistic yet.
You could probably sleep with each other's wives mate... you're basically identical twins as far as I can tell haha
They do look very similar and could pass for twins. No doubt about that.
If you look very closely (most don't), one has facial features that are spread out, one has them closer together.
Either or, they are close enough for FaceID to work for either person.
The Pin trumps the finger ID and face ID when it come to the iPhone as the pin can and does over ride all.
