An Apple Spokesperson said, “he couldn’t confirm the details of the story, nor did he have enough information to determine what might have gone wrong with the phones.”

He suspected that both women may have used the phone during its “passcode training” and that the phones may have been essentially “taught” to recognize both faces.

In this case, Store gave a refund and said the camera might be faulty, but again she bought new iPhone X and she faced a problem with new iPhone X as well. Unless Apple technicians examine the Chinese phones, it’s unclear what happened.

Apple has said that the facial recognition software has run into some glitches. It can sometimes mistake twins or siblings, twins might be able to unlock the iPhone X using Face ID, but even that is supposedly very rare.
