However even the less harmful wave lengths are not without some kind of effect on the human body. Infared is natural coming from the sun. But that is on the visible light spectrum.

                  What ever , iPhone x can't play full screen video and games , it is capable of playing only cropped videos and games so who cares about camera if the Design is awfully made

                      This system has a serious security flow including for payment. If someone else show your iPhone x to your face and unlock or agreed to payment then this is a problem for the users.

                        Color cameras use an ir filter to work properly, the flood is probably used with the ir cam to verify if the eyes are focused on the phone for added security

                                In other words this camera can see through clothing? I am not bagging on Apple or Microsoft, but the Kinect was shocking when its "second feature" was discovered. Apple should not be naive with this technology or else get ready for bad PR.
