Apple has been accused of being 'racist' after a Chinese boy realised he could unlock his mum's iPhone X using the facial recognition software. 

在一名中国男子发现他可以用脸部识别软件解锁其母亲的iPhoneX后，苹果被指责“种族主义”。

A husband bought his wife the new smartphone, but she was then shocked to discover it could be unlocked by the couple's son.

一位丈夫给他的妻子买了一部新的智能手机，她在发现自己的儿子能解锁她的iphone后十分震惊。

It seems the family, who live in the city of Shanghai are not the only Chinese users who have been able to open each other's phones.

这家人住在上海市，他们似乎不是中国家庭成员能互相打开对方手机的唯一案例。

Increasingly iPhone users in China - a country of more than a billion people - are concerned about their iPhone X's security and privacy features.

中国——人口超过10亿——越来越多的iPhone用户为他们的iPhoneX的安全性和隐私功能担忧。

The father, identified only by his surname Liu, phoned Apple's customer service hotline to report the problem.

这位父亲——仅确认他姓刘——给苹果的客户服务热线打电话报告了这个问题。

'Our son was using it and didn't know the password', he said, according to Shandong TV Station.  

“我们的儿子不知道手机密码，却能使用它，”他说，据山东电视台报道。

He was told it was a rare, isolated case and was due to the fact his wife and son look very similar.

客服告诉他这是罕见、孤立的情况，只是因为他的妻子与儿子长得很像。

It is believed the tech giant has now launched a full investigation into the Liu family's claims.

据信，这家科技巨头现在开始对刘家的要求进行全面的调查。

The news come just a week after another Chinese woman realised she could unlock her colleague's iPhone X.

该新闻发生前仅一周，另一名中国女子意识到她可以解锁其同事的iPhoneX。

Madam Yan from Nanjing was appalled to discover her colleague Madam Wan could unlock her new phone using Face ID.

南京的马女士惊骇的发现，她的同事万女士可以用脸部识别打开她的iPhoneX。

This was despite the pair having a number of different features, including different haircuts.
The pair claim the incident occurred multiple times.  

尽管这两人有多处不同的特征，包括不同的发型，这种事还是发生了。这两人声称这一事故发生了多次。

When Madam Yan first called Apple's hotline to complain about the problem customer services told her it was 'impossible', writes Asiaone.

Asiaone网站报道称，马女士第一次呼叫苹果热线抱怨这个问题的时候，客服告诉她这是不可能的。

The pair took the phone to the store to prove what happened and found they could unlock all the phones in the store.

Madam Yan was told the camera was faulty and given a new iPhone X but the same thing happened again.

It is not known if she subsequently got a third iPhone X.

'We look quite ordinary. What if someone picks up my phone and opens it?', said Madame Wan. 

“我们的长相很普通。万一有人偷走了我的iPhone并且打开了呢？”万女士说。

'Then they could buy stuff through my phone and make payments', she said.

'We don't have any sense of security'.

However, Apple has continued to maintain its facial recognition software is near enough fool proof.

Face ID uses facial matching neural networks developed using more than one billion images, writes Gizmodo. 

Gizmodo报道，开发利用面部匹配神经网络的脸部ID采用了超过100万张图像。

In October Apple's vice president of public policy for the Americas, Cyntheia Hogan explained how they make the product accessible to people of different ethnicities. 

十月份，苹果的美国公共政策副总裁Cyntheia Hogan解释了他们制作的产品是如何适合不同种族特点的人。

'We worked with participants from around the world to include a representative group of people accounting for gender, age, ethnicity, and other factors', she said.

“我们与来自世界各地的参与者合作，以涵盖包括性别、年龄、民族和其他因素的代表群体，”她说。

'We augmented the studies as needed to provide a high degree of accuracy for a diverse range of users', she said.

“我们扩充了所需的研究，为不同范围的用户提供了高度的准确性，”她说。

Developers also trained the neural network to spot and resist people trying to unlock the phone with photos or masks.

I don¿t know how true this is. The Chinese are constantly berating iPhones in an effort to promote their own phones.

我不知道这件事的真假。中国人不停的贬低iPhone，就是为了促进他们自己的手机。

Apple adopted the technology without exhaustive tests. They should have also left touch-id as backup which is a lot better in my view.

苹果没有进行彻底的试验就用了这项技术。他们原本也应该把触摸解锁作为后备技术，在我看来触摸ID好得多。

That's hilarious. Is the next step to sue the individual Apple phone's? Wee Apple phone's sitting on the witness stand in tiny suits while a Chinese prosecutor accuses them of racism.

真是荒谬。下一步就是起诉用个人苹果手机的人吗？可怜兮兮的苹果手机穿着小西装坐在证人席上，同时一位中国检察官指责他们种族主义。

The term "racist" has become meaningless these days, due to liberals and their ignorance of and affection for the word.

现在“种族主义”这个词变得毫无意义，因为自由主义者和他们对这个词的无知和喜爱。

to be fair, they say 1 in a million chance of unlocking it. There's over a billion people in China! So for every peron in the country, there's around 1000 other people who could potentially unlock your phone.

公平的说，他们说有百万分之一的几率解锁。而中国有超过10亿人！所以对于这个国家的每个人来说，大约有1000个其他人可能解锁你的手机。

Racist - prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. So IPhones can only be "racist" when they believe they are superior to android.

种族主义：因为自己的种族具有优越性而对不同种族的人持有的偏见、歧视或者敌意。所以如果iPhone认为他们比安卓优越，那么它才是种族主义。
