This sounds annoying. With Touch ID, unlocking the phone is a deliberate action. With Face ID, it sounds less predictable.
- nomel 9y agoWell, I imagine people setting up the podium were taking good long looks at the phone, but I see your point.
- potatolicious 9y agoAFAIK you need to be actively looking at the screen and touch the screen for it to unlock. Simply glancing at the phone sitting on your desk will not cause it to unlock, as far as I can tell. There's speculation that the demo failure was because they had staff clean/handle the devices before the demo - i.e., they both looked at the device and touched the screen. Of course, lots of uncertainty around this particular botched demo.
- perseusprime11 9y agoI agree. The guy who is stealing the phone basically has to show it to the owner's face before running away with the device.
