One of the unintended consequences of Apple switching to face authentication, is that the more companies will try to copy it and "get good at face scanning", the more this type of technology will advance and become commoditized. Within 5 years face scanning tech will probably be able to identify faces with 99% accuracy (with moderate inference hardware, which should also become commoditized by then, especially as powerful neural network engines make their way into hundreds of millions of smartphones, thus drastically reducing their cost).
