My Younger Brother Can Access My iPhone X: Face ID Is Not Secure

I’ve had my iPhone X since November 3rd and so far it has been an interesting experience. As much as I do not like the Orwellian aspects of Face ID, as I’ve written about before, my curiosity continues to get the best of me as I want to know exactly how it works. Unfortunately, the only way to test it is to actually use it and the results so far have been laughable at best.
On Saturday my younger brother came over and without hesitation my iPhone X let him walk right into my iPhone X, twice. He and I both have similar facial features but we are 3-years apart, he is clearly not my twin, he’s blonde, has blue eyes, and is 6'7 compared to my 5'10. While I haven’t had a chance yet to test my iPhone X on either of my parents, my guess is there is a high chance they will be able to get into my iPhone X, especially my Mom.
