The iPhone X's new facial recognition hardware tracks over 50 muscle movements in your brow, cheek, lips, jaw, and mouth. When added together, the movement of these different facial features — such as the formation of dimples — gives the phone the facial data it needs to create a similarly expressive animoji.

We still don't know when the next season of Black Mirror will premiere, but Netflix has released a couple of images from two of the upcoming installments.
