> iOS is betrer about facial recognition than Android (and I'm not an Apple fanboi), but it can still be hacked with some patience and enough video frames of the given face at different angles.

FWIW, I don’t think anyone has done this credibly yet.

It's an arms race where people keep breaking into a specific version, Apple makes it harder, and nobody can get into the new shit for a while. There was a method for the X (dunno if updates have made it harder), but not for anything more recent AFAIK. I bet we see another one drop in the next couple years. It's just an engineering problem.

I don't recall seeing one. Do you have a link?
