1. “Senator Al Franken raises concerns over iPhone X's Face ID”

2. Apple's new iPhone X can be unlocked with a scan of your face
Apple's new iPhone X can be unlocked with a scan of your face. But biometric identification like this raises important questions about privacy and security. On Friday, in a published letter written to Apple CEO Tim Cook, Democratic Senator Al Franken expressed concern over the use of the phone's new Face ID system. The Minnesota senator asked the company to provide more information about how facial recognition will affect iPhone users' privacy and security and whether the tech will recognize different races, ages and genders. Apple said its Face ID tech was trained with over 1 billion images, but it's unclear how diverse the data set was or where Apple got the images from. The senator also shared concern over what happens to face scan data. Apple  has previously addressed some privacy concerns around Face ID. The company said all facial information is stored on the device and not in the cloud, and it is protected by a "secure enclave." Face ID is also designed to prevent spoofing attempts by a photo or a mask. Franken asked Apple to respond to the letter by October 13.
