Not long ago, we informed you about the first known case where American police officers, thanks to a certain legal loophole, used the opportunity to order a criminal suspect to unlock his iPhone X using Face IDThanks to this, they gained access to a lot of important information that they will now be able to use to convict the perpetrators.chatele to his actions.
