Palm Verification vs Face ID
Face ID requires Apple's TrueDepth camera and can't tell identical twins apart. Palm verification works on any phone, is 10× more accurate, and uniquely identifies every human on earth.
01
No special hardware
Face ID requires Apple's proprietary TrueDepth infrared camera, limiting it to recent iPhones and iPads. No Android device supports Face ID.
VeryAI uses the standard RGB camera on any smartphone. No infrared, no dot projector, no special chip.
02
Identical twins
Face ID cannot reliably distinguish between identical twins. Apple acknowledges this as a known limitation.
Palm vein patterns are unique even among identical twins. VeryAI resolves identity at the individual level.
03
10× more accurate
Face ID has a false accept rate of approximately 1 in 1,000,000 (10⁻⁶). Good for unlocking your phone. Not sufficient for global-scale identity.
04
Works in more conditions
Face ID struggles with masks, sunglasses, dramatic lighting changes, and aging. Palm verification works regardless of what you're wearing, in any lighting, and palm patterns remain stable throughout life.
05
Person-bound, not device-bound
Face ID data lives on one device. Lose the phone, lose your enrollment. You can't verify on a friend's phone or a kiosk.
VeryAI verification is person-bound. Your palm works on any device, anywhere, without re-enrollment.
