Apple's biometric security is way ahead of competitors, according to an influential analyst.Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes, as he told investors on Monday, that the premium-priced handset is a key strategic move for the company, positioning it far ahead of competitors for years to come.Kuo, of KGI Securities, said the iPhone X has been a “strategic success” for Apple, cementing long-term competitive advantages for the company with Face ID and the TrueDepth cameras. His take was issued in a note to investors on Monday, a copy of which was obtained by AppleInsider.In his view, the 3D sensing capabilities in the iPhone X will pave the way for more advanced augmented reality and artificial intelligence applications. These could be simple and fun enhancements like further improvements to Animoji, or more advanced capabilities such as superior understanding of user behavior.Kuo believes copycats will be in full effect in 2018, scrambling to put their own Face ID competitors into smartphones. But Apple's technical advantages have it up to two years ahead of the competition currently, in his view.”We believe the iPhone X has established a long-term edge for Apple,” he said.
