A 10-Year-Old Boy  was managed to unlock his Mothers iPhone X  by cracking the Face ID using nothing but… his own face.

 The unlocking happened immediately after the mother told the son that "There's no way you're getting access to this phone."

The Boy doesn’t fall under the “twins” exception and has a big age difference compared to his Mother. His face is smaller than his mother's face and the geometry of their faces don’t match, at least to human eyes. Also, the additional neural network present in iPhone X that’s trained to spot and resist spoofing doesn’t work as intended in this scenario.
