Apple Hari Raya Ad Shows How Face ID Keeps Your Secrets Safe
March 21, 2024 Andrew Cheng

Apple just released a rather amusing ad themed after the upcoming Hari Raya celebration. Naturally, the Cupertino company is showcasing how the iPhone’s Face ID feature can keep your secrets safe, especially from nosy relatives.

We’ve all been there: our relatives are gathered to celebrate the festivities, and we (somehow) left our phone on the table when we receive a message that piqued the interest of said relatives. Of course, while they can see who sent the message, they can’t exactly read it without getting through Face ID.

While other smartphone makers primarily use in-screen fingerprint sensors for authentication purposes, Apple is the only one that still focuses on a sophisticated facial recognition system with Face ID. This is primarily enabled with the TrueDepth selfie camera of the iPhone, which can quickly recognise the user in all kinds of lighting conditions.

Personally, I still find Face ID one of the most convenient (and speedy) authentication methods on a phone, even if in-screen fingerprint sensors have improved quite a bit over the years. Nonetheless, if you’d like to learn about the latest iPhones, check out our reviews of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Plus.
