South Korean Banks Reject iPhone X Face ID Over Security Concerns
Looks like iPhone X users in South Korea won't be able to use the smartphone's Face ID technology when doing transactions in local banks. Apparently, Korean banks have rejected the idea of providing support for the 10th anniversary iPhone's advanced biometric system. The banks' decision reportedly comes after Face ID security concerns were reported. On Monday, Korea Herald learned that Korean banks have rejected the facial recognition security feature of Apple's iPhone X, such that the technology will not be usable when owners use mobile banking services. Financial industry insiders claim that Korean banks are apparently hesitant to accept Face ID after it was found out that some people were able to penetrate the new verification feature.
