Apple just put machine learning in your pocket

Apple touted the prowess of its new hardware and software by unveiling just two applications: Face ID, facial recognition to unlock the new iPhone X and to make purchases with Apple Pay, and and animated emoji's -- so-called animojis. The company also described how how facial recognition can work with augmented reality apps. But don't let these modest examples disappoint you. With Apple (and other device makers), the real magic often comes from the developer community.
