I dislike the fact that the police can point the phone at someone and have it automatically unlock. That's what I thought too when the Face ID feature was confirmed (post rumors). It's easier for other people to take one's phone (talking about known people here), point it at the face and unlock it without the owner's consent or interaction. This is not that trivial to do with Touch ID, where one would have to grab the owner's hand and place the finger (or fingers) on the Home button. The odds of being deceived into unlocking one's phone without knowledge or consent seems to be higher here. From a privacy perspective, I also worry about how governments would use these advances in technology for surveillance (if we believe Apple's claim of fingerprints having an error rate of 1 in 50000 and face recognition having an error rate of 1 in a million).
