Why not layer on more data? Like a facial gesture (smile, wink, tongue out, etc) and a fingerprint? Both using thermal readings as "proof". Given you're almost always using your face and hands, this isn't much of an inconvenience but it's powers more secure. All for pennies (in comparison to a $1k device).
It's infuriating that each time a mass-produced biometric scanner comes out, it's hogtied by the fact this cheap technology isn't quite good enough yet.

Is it unlocked? Do the wearer's biometrics match? Most individuals have (for better or worse) bought into the (relatively) closed system of Apple products – why not continue leveraging that to their advantage?
