iPhone X: Stock shortages mean that key facial recognition feature won't be as accurate, report suggests

Apple may have made the main feature of the new iPhone less good so that it can make more of them, according to a new report. Even before the flagship iPhone X was announced, it has been dogged by rumours that it will be incredibly short supply and might be difficult to buy until 2018. Now a new report from Bloomberg appears to suggest those stock shortages are taking a toll on the phone itself. Apple has "quietly" told its suppliers to reduce the accuracy of the facial recognition feature so that the phones are easier to make, the report claims. By doing so, it will allow suppliers to make more and hopefully reduce the problems when the phone is released next week.
